Old ER Solitaire Setting Redo - Golden Zircon

[Catmom]

I kept the YG solitaire setting from my old princess ER when I traded in the stone. I've always loved this setting as it's very heavy and substantial feeling. I had the princess head swapped out with a Stuller tulip head which I love. I initially had a greyish but very sparkly aqua in there but I really never wore it as it was still sized for my left hand. I found out a friend was selling an 8mm golden zircon which I thought might look nice in this setting so I bought it from her. I have to tell you I am very intrigued by this stone. It ranges in color from a bright yellow to sometime green to a very mellow whiskey color in indoor light. It's really a chameleon. I had my jeweler replace the aqua with this stone and size it for my right hand and I think it came out great. Here are a few pics of the stone itself and then I'll show it set. I hope you like my new chameleon!

I can see why you kept that setting, Catmom. I love a substantial setting too. It looks perfect with the new stone, which is also lovely!

Oh yes it would! If only David would be thoughtful enough to reduce the price to 1/4th of what it currently is LOL.
Sigh, I keep forgetting to buy a lottery ticket. This week though I am definitely going to and if I win, yellow bling for all!

Thanks innerkitten, Enerchi and Missy! I'd trade this ring for that DBL yellow any time!
