First off, the diamond. I just purchased it from Superbcert. It''s a round 0.873ct, D color, Si1 clarity, Super Ideal H&A cut with excellent polish, excellent symmetry, and no flouresence. Here are the pics...

I got it for 4,350$. I''m no expert, but it seems like an amazing diamond for the price. Now on to the setting...
My girlfriend has picked out two rings that she really likes, both equally as much.
Tiffany with pear side stones - top view
Tiffany with pear side stones - side view
Trellis setting from Blue Nile - side view
Ok so here''s what I really want to do. I''ve designed my own custom setting by Photoshopping pieces together from a few different rings. The goal was to take those two rings and create something that had the best of both worlds. So what I ended up with is a round center stone and pear side stones, but with lucida/trellis style prongs. I really like how it turned out and I''m confident that she would love it. So here it is... try to ignore the slightly unnatural looking prongs and focus on the overall design.
My custom ring idea
I know the view is slightly limited, but I think it would work very well with the pear side stones. The two prongs for each pear would be on the outside of the weave as shown in the picture. And then the prongs from opposite sides of the center stone would gradually merge together into the corner prongs for the pears. Let me know what you guys think, good or bad. How much should I expect to pay to have something like this custom made in Platinum 950?
Thanks!
