Hi! A bit of an odd request. I’m looking for inspiration on how to set an old mine cut solitaire and I recall seeing a ring here that I really loved, and now I can’t find it anywhere. I think it was in this forum. I can’t remember the user’s name but I believe her icon is an illustration of a gypsy and she has an old mine cut solitaire in a gold setting. I think it’s a bespoke setting, not antique. Does anyone know who I’m talking about or the post I’m referring to? Thanks in advance!
 
Bezel setting or prong? If you can find a picture online of something close to the one you’re looking for, that might help someone pin it down.
 
Pretty sure it was a prong setting. I honestly don’t remember much about it besides that I really liked it realize it’s a long shot to find it but was hoping someone might recognize the user by her avatar. Thanks for trying!
 
What about a time period you remember from?

Some of us are serial avatar changers.

Cartoon gypsy
Painting gypsy
Photograph gypsy?
Gypsy in what sence?
That might also help.

You are so nice, Rfisher! Just struck me when I saw your parameters and the fact that you're going to use your "Queen of Pricescope searching" skills to help the OP!

Happy fishing and good luck to both you and the OP!

Thank you for jumping in and trying to help! I know I haven’t given you much to work off of. I think a painted or drawn gypsy. Definitely not a photograph. A gypsy kind of like Esmeralda from the Disney hunchback of notre dame with a headscarf. Totally not expecting to find her. I think I had been browsing for ring ideas back maybe 9 months ago? But I don’t think the post was particularly new and could have been from several years back. If anything sounds familiar, let me know but please don’t dig too much on my behalf! Thank you so much!

That’s who I immediately thought of but couldn’t decide if the avatar in question matched up to the description given here.
 
Hi! I don’t have any mold mine cut solitaires in a gold setting. Good luck finding the person.

Thanks for confirming! I did start to look through your posts and your collection is beautiful! And thank you to everyone who responded so thoughtfully. I’m new to pricescope and appreciate how warm, welcoming and helpful this community is! I’ll let you know if I find what I had in mind :)
 
So, this is an avatar but not from this forum, she does have an old mine cut in a
gold setting but It is not a diamond.

Is this it?

I don’t remember what Mjay’s avatar pic was before. But is this close to the setting you are looking for?

She’s here! My Sako x Megan Thorne solitaire

She’s finally here and I’m obsessed!!!! My 2.02 old mine from sako set in an 18k gold evergreen setting by Megan Thorne. I’ll post my story below if anyone cares to read it. I purchased the stone about a year ago from Sako. I saw it featured it on his IG and I fell in love. It was everything I...

Was it @joelly's "hulk"? I wonder if tinkerbell was mistaken for something else :)

also, setting is WG...

Do AVCs look better in...

August Vintage Cushions? Do they look better in a YG, WG, or RG setting in your humble opinion of course :D Debating purchasing a J color, warmer stone as well...

Haha I had a feeling - that’s a memorable stone! Check the link in my post - here it is again.

It’s a very simple setting like this one:

If you’re looking for a setting and a stone, I’d content Old World Diamonds on Instagram. That’s not the same vendor from the post of the ring you liked, but they’d have good options!
 
Hi everyone! Looks like @YadaYadaYada found the user! I guess she wasn’t in this forum. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who pitched in and helped. Such a kind and welcoming community!! ❤️

Sooooo there’s another jewelry forum? Lol. Dare I ask the name of it? I’m already on PS more than I should be…

Well it’s really a wedding forum but there is a lot of jewelry posted over there.
 
@seekingomc, something to know about the setting you’re looking at is it’s made by Schubach’s and it’s their ballerina setting. I don’t believe that they sell just settings but maybe someone who has worked with them can confirm?
 
ok, just because I'm SO curious- when you find it, can you come back and share the inspiration picture you looking for, pretty please? :D

I believe you are correct.
 
@YadaYadaYada thank you again for all the extra details!! You’re amazing! I found it based on the added info. You’re an absolute sleuth! To everyone who was curious, @YadaYadaYada is right - you can just google the schubach ballerina setting.

I’m a little embarrassed though - after seeing it, it’s not the setting I want. It’s exactly the post I was thinking of but I think I just liked the size of the stone and how the band stacks flush with the e ring, after all that and sending everyone into a frenzy! It was really fun seeing all the different ideas come through though and seeing how this community rallies around a treasure hunt ;) I did get a lot of inspiration from the various leads and I’m happy to show everyone what I end up doing for the setting. I think it’s going to be a hybrid of a few different antique ring ideas in 18k yg with a somewhat wider band. Thank you again to everyone here!
 
Hey, better to decide it’s not exactly what you want BEFORE you buy it or have it made. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Of course if you find that you need some help figuring out a setting, make a post and we will be happy to help!
