My finger size is around 5, I was thinking if I should hold out and wait for a longer and slightly wider one, like the 3 ct emerald cut that''s in your temporary care now.Date: 12/2/2009 4:56:24 AM

I think it''s perfect, but 7 to 9 mm is my sweet spot so naturally I''m going to think that.
Some of it depends on your finger size and proportions (both with your fingers and with the other stones in the setting) but really I think those dimensions should be just right. If the central stone were much bigger then the rest of the setting might look too crowded or overwhelming, IMO.
Thanks for your suggestion Mr MaRe and thanks for your reply LD.Date: 12/2/2009 5:59:22 AM

These styles with multiple step sides probably work so well because the center stones are slightly more elongated. Therefore I think the stone you posted would work better if it would have only one step cut on each side as it''s already a wide EC.
But another idea comes to mind that you might like - if the shank would taper in width (kind of like with a split shank, but not as much) and if the step cut stones of varying sizes would be channel set in it - graduating in size of course. It would work with a wider stone and still look very similar to the style you''re after. Kind of like THIS, but with fewer sides (which increase in size towards the center) and without rows of round melee on the edges.
Yes I agree with you absolutely!Date: 12/3/2009 2:14:06 PM

OMG!!! Talk about great minds think alike!!!!
My spinel is with my jeweller being made in this exact same settingIs yours too small? Well if yours is, then mine definitely is because my spinel is just over 7 x 5 and the sides are 4 x 2, 3 x 1.5!
It''s third in line so I''m afraid may not be until after Christmas.Date: 12/4/2009 3:45:27 AM

Chrono, Cell, SH, TL: Thank you for your suggestions and views, I think I''ll get this one, not sure when I''ll be able to set it though but the art deco look will be my top choice.
Ditto. Maybe if you made the princess cut yellows in a vertical stack on each side.Date: 12/9/2009 7:09:58 AM

I love the idea of the yellow diamonds. Vivid pink and vivid yellow, I think it''s a wonderful combination.
The art deco style is a great look too, but I personally would prefer a more elongated emerald shaped stone for that.
Hi Boom! Thanks for your opinion, it''s much appreciated. Yes I think I need a longer and larger spinel for the telescoping diamond look.Date: 12/9/2009 7:09:58 AM

I found this gorgeous ring photo a couple of days ago, courtesy of Lady D''s link. I''m not sure how it''ll look in pink and yellow though.Date: 12/9/2009 7:39:11 AM
