After YEARS of looking everywhere, I finally found a setting that I loved and thought would showcase my trans. diamond - Hope you all like it. I also had a wedding band made to match. I'll post pics and I took a before and after. The antique setting can be used again, but if I do, I will have the platinum shank built up more and make it a comfort fit, and would shine up the prongs.
The new ring swoops up like I wanted and has delicate milligrain edging and is bright and sparkly and has so much texture.
It really makes the center look larger and definitely is shining more in this setting than before. The stone deserved it.

Wow, what a big difference! I LOVE the new one, and the fact that it's much higher set. :appl:
 
By the way, can I ask where you found this beautiful setting? So thrilled for you!
 
Gorgeous!! I know you've been hunting for a while, and I think your patience paid off!! That is perfect! Looks like it was meant to be :appl: :appl: :appl:
 
Wow, different but still kept the same feeling I think. Your stone looks bigger, which is always a good thing in my opinion! I love the way the diamonds lead up to the stone! Good hunting!
 
It is beautiful but updated with more pow.
 
What a beautiful reset! It looks great! Congrats!
 
Iluvdiamonds, I take my hat off to you!!! You persevered and found the perfect setting for your beautiful stone! It retains the feel of the old setting but is just a little updated, and higher - which I know was important to you. Your new setting looks to be really nice quality as well - love the graduated stones on the shank. Would you mind sharing where you found it? Congrats on finding such a gorgeous setting for your stone! :appl:
 
Wow! I know you've been having the dilemma of trying to find the perfect setting for your diamond. And you found it!!! It makes the diamond bigger, has fluidity, and I love the diamonds going down the band!!! Congrats!
 
Beautiful! It has the feel of the previous setting but the higher look you were missing, AND still feels antique! Fantastic reset!!!
 
I must applaud you for your tenacity! I loved the old setting and really didn't care for so many of the others you had contemplated. I really thought your old setting was perfection but you have found the PERFECT upgraded setting! It is like the old but better - I'm surprised - but in such a good way!! You did an excellent job in choosing this new setting and band. It looks gorgeous on you and really does showcase that beautiful stone very well.

We'll take a ton more pictures please - it it gorgeous!! :love: :love:
 
Thank you so much for setting it in a vintage type setting!! It's gorgeous! I'm glad you're finally happy.
 
Just beautiful! It's gorgeous :love:
 
Wow! Its beautiful! :love: :love: You really out did yourself. I always voted for you to keep your original setting since the ones you posted would not compare.. But now this!!! The setting is gorgeous with your stone and it really showcases it so well.. I also agree it does look bigger too :naughty: Truly classy and it looks fantastic with your wedding band.
Both very lovely :appl:
Enjoy wearing your beautiful rings, Its truly PERFECT now and the wait was worth it!
 
It looks beautiful on you - worth the journey! The style you've chosen enhances the gorgeous centre stone and flatters your finger.
 
That's really lovely! What are you going to do with the old setting?
 
What a successful reset! It really showcases your stone better!

I couldn't agree more! Brava!! :appl:
 
That is absolutely perfect! What a gorgeous setting! I agree with the others that I'd love to know who made it or if it's an antique.
 
It seems like you were looking for a new setting forrreverrrr! So glad you found one that makes you happy! :appl:

It seems to have what you were looking for - stone sits high, band tapers wider closer to the stone, and it gives the stone a more square-ish look. Do you have any profile pics that you can share?
 
I LOVE it.

So much more perfect with your wb than your original setting. :love: .
 
I love it! Its perfect in every way and I also love how it looks with your custom wedding band! I see the difference in setting the stone a bit higher, it makes the diamond appear larger to me, while drawing the eye to the center stone. 8-)

Edit to add: more pics please -especially pics of the under gallery!
 
Really beautiful :appl:

The old setting looks lovely until you compare it to the new. The new just knocks the socks off the old!
 
I hope you really love it because it is stunning - nothing not to love about it, and it looks amazing on your hand. I too would be interested in knowing where you found the setting, in case you want to share...
 
the new setting is fabulous!!!
 
So gorgeous and showcases your engagement diamond perfectly! :love: Well done! Wear in health and happiness!! :appl:
