Hello Pricescope friends!
Time to re-embark on this saga of mine…Choosing a new setting for my stone. Acquired my stone back in Jan 2013..and had it temporarily set because I was so anxious to wear it. I did not feel I was ready to choose a setting at that point. Been on a setting roller coaster ever since… Went back and forth between halo styles, pavé, side stones..etc
Finally, after sitting on this for months, considering all possible options and driving GOG and my good friend Cachette CRAZY
(thank you Jonathan and Sarah and Cachette) I have decided that what will work best for me is a SIMPLE SOLITAIRE SETTING (to be paired with an AVC band with perhaps smaller stones than the ones on my 5 stone). But I will worry about the band later on.. I did include a handshot pic of my present setting alongside my 5 stone AVC and that link as well just for the heck of it. I may occasionally wear my new setting alongside my 5 stone AVC..
So I am curious as to which simple solitaire settings you all recommend, or love or not… etc
I am starting from scratch since the Angel setting that my stone is set in now does not have the style of basket that I love, not enough height and no band sits flush with it.
I LIKE the Angel setting, but I don't LOVE it..
Yes I realize that it may sound a bit foolish to switch from a simple solitaire to a simple solitaire..
BUT like I said. I want to LOVE my setting not just LIKE it…
But who knew choosing a "simple setting" would not be so simple?? lol There are so many to choose from!
So PSers, any opinions on a simple solitaire setting? I do have it narrowed down to a few ideas but any additional input and pics would be great. And fun! I have learned a lot from reading all of your posts since I joined PS last year. So now I come calling for help
Here are some of my "wants" with this new setting:
- must sit flush with wedding band (or very close)
- double claw
- cathedral
- a basket style that will let the light shine though my stone as much as possible
- a sturdy setting
- no pavé or side stones… just a simple platinum solitaire setting.
- I want my stone to be the main focus
- my stone is rectangular and I want to emphasize this as much as possible.
- my hands are not super delicate..I have to consider that when choosing (big knuckles..lol
)
- in a style best suited for my cushion …
