Hi Everyone!!
Come and join me on my journey to finding my dream setting.
I have seen so many rings here on pricescope that I have adored. I have found it very difficult to really pin down what it is that I really want.
Since I got my upgraded RB in April, I have had so many changes in my life this year I did not want to rush this part.
So I have been looking and trying styles on and tried to work out what truly makes me gasp and my heart sing! I also wanted to protect my stone. My current setting is very high, my choice, I love a high setting. However, I have never owned a diamond this size and never realized how vulnerable it would make it. So I decided a bezel was a must and a lower setting.
I finally settled on Art Deco styling. It is an era that fascinates me and I love the symmetry and shapes. I like simplicity, I like shapes within shapes. I truly think that is why I am so drawn to 4 claw settings because it makes my RB square.
I adore asschers. I looked at possibly changing my stone, but after careful consideration, I truly I don’t want to. I love my stone. I adore sparkle over flash and more importantly I do not want to lose size. I like where I am at.
So I started to explore how deco setting make a round stone change shape.
I will post below the pictures from my inspiration file. A lot of these were posted by Ps’ers and some of them are actual Ps’ers rings. I thank you all for the inspiration that you gave me. A special shout out to Lil Misfit whose ring is at the centre of my (possible) design and well as Gyspy’s own ring and her RHR search which started my fascination for this type of setting.
I initially contacted JBeG and was seriously considering the Julia bezel and also looked at the Bella in a bezel. I then decided that I wanted a different shaped bezel. I just want to say how wonderful it was to deal with these lovely ladies. They are exceptional in their customer service. Whilst it doesn’t look like I’ll be working with them this time, I WILL deal with them on another project in the future, because I think they are fabulous.
I spoke to several jewellery designers here in Perth and did not click with anyone. The only one that did interest me hasn’t got back to me in nearly a month, so not really my type of vendor!!
I loved Lil Misfit’s ring from the second I saw it, so it was a very simple step to fire an email of to BGD. I have been dealing with Jamie, who has been fantastic and I have received my quote.
I would like your opinions on my choices so far. I would love your input to help me through this process. I have already told Jamie that I do not want to start this project until the new year as I don’t want to rush this nor get caught up in the Holiday rush. So that gives me time to fine tune or indeed U turn depending on our discussion!!!
Oh and I am planning on having the design made in platinum.
Thank you everyone.
