Need help finding Marquise east-west engagement ring

[zimbabwe07]

Hello,

I am looking to propose soon and i want to find an antique engagement ring with a marquise diamond set in this style of east/west. I've been looking for a while but they seem to be very rare to come by. I've seen a few but they aren't quite what i am looking for. I am looking for something like this specifically.With the thin band and the little designs on the side. Can you guys help me out?

Thank you

What is your budget? Are you looking for an actual antique?

I'm just looking for something close to that. Not necessarily an actual antique. Maybe something under 5k?

So this is obviously over your budget, but it looks like just the setting is available. A bit on the steeper side and would only leave 2k left for the diamond.

I just took a quick look through James allen, and there are alot of options 2-2.5k

But you can also reach out to some of the ps approved vendors and see what their cost of custom making a similar setting is. I'd expect its below 3k, but not 100% sure.

I hope someone more knowledgeable about marquise cuts comes in, but these are some that I liked when I took a quick peek, but I dont think theyre perfect.

This one appears to be an older cut, which will give a more antiquey feel. But it has a pretty strong bowtie.

Here is something similar but not as pretty. Not sure how much it cost...you would have to request more info.

Here is a place that could make it for you but I think it would be $2.5k or possibly more.

I don't know if you are open to a pre loved piece, and i am not a marquise expert by ANY means, but I saw this on ebay...

The seller has good feedback and had a good return policy, so it may be worth a gamble?
