question on setting a diamond

[Jeroen1000]

Hi everyone!

Got myself a 'minor' problem. I've found the perfect setting but not at the same place as where I have the diamond on a lay away plan. Planning on shipping the setting to the diamond So the diamond is 6.18 x 6.21 x 3.84 and the setting is 6mm or 6.5mm. How does this fit in practice?

Is "bending" the setting mount to get the diamond to fit part of the setting process? Or are settings made to exact diamond specs? (can't image that's the case).

What kind of setting?

Here are some pictures of the type. And a video of the same type:

You should be able to ask the setting maker to sell you one that will fit the exact measurements of the stone you have. But, have you shown the diamond vendor the setting as see if they can obtain it directly (or one from another vendor).

A version of this is available from Gabriel and Company.

I think you bought from WF and they have access to many many vendors, many are not on their site.

@rockysalamander WF replied to me they can work with a 6.5 mm setting (the diamond is slightly smaller). Unfortunately, they could not acquire it elsewhere. I'm now in the final stages of getting it shipped out to WF.
So it doesn't appear to be an issue if it isn't made exactly to size. That or I'm in for quite a nasty surprise. However, I took great care confirming it won't be an issue. Long live the Internet

Great. Each setting has a bit of room for adjustment, but it always good to confirm with the setter that the setting you want will work.
