Mark Morrell or Vatche or....

[mijamajasky]

Hi there! I have a stone a bit over a carat to be set. I like the MM Flame (I wonder does it come in 4 prong??) or the Vatche Comfort Fit Royal X Prong or the Whitflash W prong...I also found a coupl eof interesting ones too...I just want to maximize the size of the stone and highlight its beauty...ok thanks! I hope the pics attach!

Mark will make a 4 prong ring similar to the Flame, but you''ll have to go custom to do that.

I just saw the Flame, the Vatche Swan, and the Sisily(sp?), and they were all beautiful. The two Vatche settings held the stone up a little higher than the Flame and really put the diamond on display. The shank of the Swan was very delicate,so was the Flame. The Sisily was wider. I also saw the Vatche Royal Crown and it was beautiful too-but a little wider than the other three settings. My favs were the Flame and the Swan.

I would go with Mark.

Oops...a couple of the pics are bmp..not sure how to convert tp jpeg! so totally computer illiterate! I have not seen the Vatche Swan...I saw that GOG carried Mark Morrell...would they do the 4 prong in house or do they send it to him? does anyone know the price range? i wish i had the imagination to really make something creative and different..

 

[mijamajasky]

GOG would send your stone to Mark, and they would make the setting to fit your stone. I''m not sure of the price, but I am thinking in the $1700-2000 range or thereabouts.

Yes, here is a picture another PriceScope person took for me of that setting:

Yes, once upon a time, it was one of my top contenders. It is really hard to decide on a solitaire with so many beautiful choices!

 

[mijamajasky]

I wore a 4-prong e-ring for 13 years with no problems at all. I prefer the look to 6-prong, and just got another 4-prong setting for my upgrade. If you have a "normal" size stone, it should not be a problem at all (I''m not sure I''d do, like, a 5 carat stone with a 4-prong). Just have a jeweler clean it every 6 months or so and ask them to check the prongs when they do. Inspect the prongs yourself and make sure they''re all okay. Seriously, I got my ring when I was 19, and I banged it all over the place, I was constantly knocking it into things, the prongs never budged. Get a reputable jeweler to set your ring, you''ll be fine with 4 prongs.
