Re: Opinions wanted! Setting for 0.98ct K VS1 Octavia Assche
Hi Bee! Thanks for your opinion! I'm really grateful to everyone who has pitched in...it's helped me refine my ideas A LOT.
Regarding the kinda dead trilliants/trillions, I know what you mean because a coworker has trilliants as sides to her princess cut. They do not sparkle nearly as much. Just a thought as I'm by no means an expert: I think some side stones are cut a little shallow. Maybe not really nice cushions or RBCs if you hand select all three stones...I'm talking about when you buy a setting that comes with "prepackaged" side stones, or when you buy sides that were cut specifically to be sides. That's my 2 cents, which is probably worth 0.002 cents.

I like the trillion side stones with the octavia, but I have kind of a love/hate relationship with my ring with trillion side stones. The shape is very pretty, but the trillions don't have much sparkle and look a bit dead next to the center stone. I tried to figure out if this was just because mine are junky or if it is just the way trillions are but I didn't get an answer to that question. So, I'm not sure, but it is something you might want to keep in mind.
I can't wait to see what you come up with for this stone! I'm out of ideas, but I'm sure you'll design something stunning.
