ritani endless love shape without pave?

[ciger]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone seen a setting that is the shape of Ritani endless love, but without pave? I like the shape of it (the low-set basket and the super-thin, flat band) but I don''t want my bf to have to spend that much on the setting. I assume that it wouldn''t actually be by Ritani. I''ve attached a picture with pave (my apologies - the picture is a beautiful ring that someone else posted on PS). Please let me know if anyone has seen a non-pave version. Thanks!

I can''t say that I directly recall seeing anything that looks exactly like the Ritani but without pave...but what about a simple 4 prong solitaire with a low basket head? I know we have seen those around here somewhere!! Did you check out vendor''s websites? Local stores?

Or you can go custom-ish which is not as expensive as people may think, especially if they can use existing pieces like a Stuller low basket head or something with a simple domed shank etc.

I think what you are asking for is not unheard of or hard to do, but you may have to go custom to get EXACTLY what you want. Good luck!

Precision set has something close... but it has cathedral wings. You might look at it. You are wanting just what I have been looking for. I have been told it is a simple basket head on a shank. But I am hesitant in that I haven''t seen a basket in a book that I like.

The following links are two images I have used for reference. they aren''t what you are requesting, but you could use them for a reference point.

Oh and also look at Pearlmans Pearlman collection. It is shown in pave but you have an option to get lesser on the shank...I think your issue with the Ritani pave is the price...You might be able to swing the Pearlman one with some form of pave. They may make it in a 2.5 mm width...but maybe they can make it thinner for you. Never hurts to ask "Pearlman Bill"...he is first class! Just one call to him, and you will be convinced he is the right one to help you in your ring search!

You might end up having it made for the stone, because baskets have to fit. The Ritani one is a bit special among basket settings because it is made to fit next to a wedding band - something that the vast majority of such settings don't do well, especially with such a thin band. The thin band require the prongs to tilt allot along the pavilion angles - basket settings off the rack do not come that way, IMO.

I sort of remember something similar at NiceIce but can't find it on their site - you might want to ask.
