Thanks so much for this wonderful site! I learned so much and feel like I was able to make an educated buy of my diamond. I''ve been a lurker until now but need some help finding my setting.
I am now the proud owner of a 1.10 cw square radiant, which is looking for a home. I love the look of cross-prong/trellis solitaires, but when I try them on, the shanks look too thick on my 3.75-sized, short finger. I know Blue Nile sells the Petite Trellis Ring http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-engagement-ring-setting-platinum_7836 which is perfect, but they wouldn''t sell me just the setting.
Anyone know of any other cross-prong solitaire mountings with a thinner shank? The narrowest shank I could find that would fit my 5.9 mm stone is 3.4 mm, but I''m looking for 2.5-3 mm. The jeweler setting my stone told me they could try to shave some of that off but not much. Is that a good option, or would it compromise the security of the setting? How much would it cost to have something like this custom-made (seems a waste for something so simple)?
Thanks for any help that I can get. Will definitely post pics to show of my ring once it''s made!!
