Ok. I am new here, so still trying to figure out the etiquette and logistics of how all of this works... I hope that I am posting under the correct forum, topic, etc.
My boyfriend and I will be engaged within the next few months (we are currently living in different states, but he is moving here in July). I have started to research ring styles, so that I will be ready to shop when the time comes!
There are several styles that I love. Here are some examples of settings that I am currently responding to...




The problem is that I cannot find (anywhere!!) who made these rings, or rings like these... so I am thinking that the only way to get what I am looking for is to have the setting custom built.
I have not yet researched the expense that goes into having a setting custom made, but I do know that I have come across some really great deals on buying diamonds loose online.
The aesthetic qualities that I am partial to... I love modern looking rings, but I do not like the heaviness that sometimes goes along with that style. I love the older, thinner platinum settings. So I am looking for some sort of a balance... I think that the clean lines and angles are what I am responding to here. I''m not married to the idea of using sidestones, if I see a setting that uses a solitaire in a unique (and at the same time elegant) way.
If anyone knows of any vendors selling settings with similar attributes, please let me know! Thank you very, very much!
