Hello PS'ers I appreciated everyone's help last time I posted, so I am reaching out again to see if anyone could give me some feedback on 1 stone, and 1 ring we are looking at. My first post was about a ring we loved, but returned due to color sensitivity of the stone (J center, platinum setting, G sides https://www.jewelsbygrace.com/2-02ctw-canera-cushion-cut-solitaire-ring). Ideally, we could just buy the setting and put in a different stone, but we haven't been able to. So, we've been searching ever since, and am leaning towards these two options:
This is the ring. It needs to be resized to 3.5, so we are nervous how that might affect the side stones. Also, the bead set(?) looks a little old school vs modern pave (?). I looked up the jeweler, and they seem to have a positive reputation for quality rings.
This is the diamond. Like the idea of putting it in a compass setting with double claw prongs similar to the pictures. Just unsure about the stone, because it's a SI1 and the GIA report.
Upped the budget to about $15k. Recycled metal/diamond, or preloved is still the criteria. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I had no idea ring shopping would be this hard
