Resetting my M coloured diamond

[MAC-W]

In 2010 I bought a fabulous M coloured diamond from GOG http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/5132 and ended up setting it in a spare LOGR setting I had https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/an-m-for-me-part-2.150125/

but ...
as much as I adore the stone, the quality of the setting is annoying to me for such a good quality stone, so I'm looking for a new setting and am going to put a cheaper spinel I have in the LOGR setting. (I do actually like the style of the LOGR setting, its just IMO the quality isnt worthy of the GOG stone).

I'm hoping I can once again impose on the good natures and knowledge of PSers to help me find a white gold / plat setting worthy of my GOG M.

I'm open to any and all suggestions,except 3 stones (cos thats what my wedding band is and it would be too much to have this as a 3-stone as well). I generally prefer modern or contemporary styles but am happy to also consider antique / vintage style cos I think they really suit lower coloured stones.

So... if anyone has any ideas, thoughts , suggestions, please post them. They will be very gratefully recieved.

Mac.

What is your budget?

 

[MAC-W]

Up to about $2500. Maybe $3k.

I like the style of the current ring, but I can understand wanting a setting to match the quality of your diamond!

Beverley K has some beautiful settings:

You gott narrow the field, your budget is ample and I can think of a bazillion options.

Okay so this is a RHR and you like what metal, and what type of settings do you see? Vintage or contemporary? Halo, or solitaire?

I personally would love it in just a simple sholdt semi bezel, but that's me. What are you seeing when you picture it in your mind's eye?

Before I make suggestions, what don't you actually like about in terms of "quality" of your LOGR setting?

that's the problem - I'm not seeing anything Which is why I was hoping PS'ers could give some suggestions.
I knowI want it to be white gold and I know I dont want it to be a straight 3 stone, but other than that .......

There is too much metal showing on the edges and the small diamonds are not sparkly enough. The M diamond sparkles like crazy but the rest of the ring is just "dull".

Up to 3k budget.

I love and adore this Beverly K -- Pearlmans carries them (and I think their prices are better than GOGs). http://www.beverleyk.com/semi-mounts/8wr1181-c-7-0rd-d-d-m.html

Gorgeous split shank: http://www.beverleyk.com/semi-mounts/8wr1233-a-8-0rd-d-d-m.html

Also local to me at Joe Escobar in Campbell, CA there is a gorgeous Leon quality split shank halo. I think it's 3K (much cheaper than Leon) that Beacon has-- I've seen it many times and adore it. You can call them up and ask for Erik and tell him you want Beacon's setting: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/reset-my-stone-split-shank.96199/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/reset-my-stone-split-shank.96199/[/URL]
