Hi everyone,
I just pulled the trigger after months of searching and bought a loose diamond (gulp!). Now I need to have it set!
My girlfriend is very specific about what she wants, and it's not easy (for me, at least) to find. I'm looking for a very simple, thin 14k white gold solitaire with a 4-prong compass setting (or kite, or east-west--it seems like this setting has lots of names!). Ideally, I'd like the stone to sit lower in the ring so it doesn't constantly catch on things, but I'm open. The diamond is .91 carats.
I'm open to having it set by a B&M store locally (East Bay area of California) or working with an online store if there's a reputable one someone knows of that has this particular setting. The one's I've been able to find all seem very thick and bulky, or have a curly/twisted design element I don't think she'd like.
I'd love to spend less than $800 if possible.
Any ideas? I've been researching diamonds for so long, I feel a little lost with the setting!
Thank you!
P.S. The attached picture is pretty close to the style I'm looking for.
