i think i found my setting...

[stacy4232]

i had been thinking for months that i wanted a cushion-cut stone with a pave band. we''ve finally narrowed down our search for the stone and we think we found a great one. 1.4 F/SI1. i was holding out for a H or I with a larger spread - but when we went in and saw this one, i fell in love. anyway, so now my mind has turned towards settings. i love the simple and elegant look of the cushion cut with a thin pave band. but my BF really is into vintage/antique settings, and i have fallen in love with many of them too (thanks fellow PSers for pointing me towards so many great vintage and antique sites).

anyway, i think the setting in this picture will look just lovely with a cushion. very simple, elegant, and also feminine. any thoughts or opinions? i''m going to wait for another month or two to make the final decision b/c i don''t want to have any regrets!!

Beautiful - I love it! You are wise not to rush the decision. Good luck!

There is a pricescoper somewhere who bought that setting. I remember it looked really nice. I do think it''s wise to wait a little while to be 100% sure

Very nice! I love the antique look.

oooooh, i''d love to check out the other PSer with that setting. i did a search for "tulip-shaped" setting, because that is how the vendor that i got that picture from described it as, but came up with nothing.

my BF said he wants to use that picture as inspiration and use a custom jeweler to make it into "our own" - with some variations and additions. i''ll definitely post pictures as we move along through this process. it''s so fun!!

Very pretty!!! Can the vendor send you photos with a cushion shaped stone in the setting so you can get a better idea of what it will look like? Congratulations!!!

Stacy I love that setting! I have admired it before, so I commend you on a good choice

And I think it will look great with a cushion!!

I might be mistaken, but isn''t your setting the same one advertised under Pearlman''s "Great Deals" section:

Either way, it''s lovely!

that is very similar. i think that several vendors have similar takes on the same circa 1930s e-ring. they all appear slightly different, but with the same overall design. here''s a picture of the setting with a round stone.
