Hello all,
I've been reading these forums for about a month now, looking at settings and doing research. The stone itself is a family stone that has been saved for me to give to my fiance.
I am actually very excited because she mentioned that she really likes Marquise cut stones, and wants something that sits low on the finger so that it doesn't get snagged.
The marquise stone that I have is 2.05 carat, with a very shallow table. It is currently in a high mounted yellow gold solitaire, but I have been searching endlessly for the right setting, and possibly ideas for a custom setting. It mostly depends on what exists already in semi-custom work.
the Marquise stone measures 12mm x 5.5mm (closer to six but I was using a ruler). I have talked to Jareds and a few other manufacturers, and they will mount the correct head for the diamond onto any of their settings, but it is obvious, or at least...it seems to me that their on-hand stock is not really designed to compliment a Marquise cut.
Also, with most of the pre-existing semi-mounts, the center stone can only be fit with a high prong mount, which isn't the look I am going for very much.
I called a local jeweler and asked him what books he could order settings from, and he gave me a list of names to look through, but I am having a hard time finding their fittings and settings catalogs online, since they are intended for retailers.
Here are some (admittedly, very bad) pictures of the stone and accent diamonds
