Setting for ~1 Ct princess, tacori-similar w sapphires

[suchende]

Hello Pricescopers!

My friend is ring-shopping, and he''s thinking about having something custom-made, but I suspect there''s something close enough out there. He wants something very "blingy," tacori or similar would probably be a good fit, and it MUST incorporate sapphires in some way. I''ve looked but come back empty-handed. Anyone know of something? Prefer matching band or set, $2000-4000

something like this? http://www.tacori.com/TACORI-SRCH/ENGAGEMENT/2628RDSP-A-4-1-115-/

GORGEOUS, but made for a round

Probably need to have those V prongs intended for a princess... how much of a hassle to change? I don't think this setting could have the head changed, else it would be PERFECT!

I think he can take a ring like this and use it as inspiration for anything to be custom made

It''d be a great jumping-off point for a custom piece, I was just hoping to find something already made, since custom work can be so costly and time consuming and risky. He likes this:

but alas, no sapphires

Tacori platinum with sapphires

What about this setting? Looks like it meets requirements.

or this is maybe more blingy http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Tacori-Platinum-CZ-1-10ct-TDW-Diamond-Sapphire-Ring-G-VS/2440918/product.html?sec_iid=33969

How about Kirk Kara ?

It's the first brand I would think of, given "sapphires" and "Tacori-like"

I have seen the setting that atroop711 posted set with a princess. It''s absolutely breathtaking!!!

Really? How did they do it? just set a princess in it or altered it somehow?

By the way, thank you ladies for the additional recommendations!

He told me last night he really wants to find something that has diamonds on all three sides of the shank. I thought this would be easy enough to find, but I'm starting to think he'll have to go custom.

When I was looking at settings I fell in love with this tacori

My jeweler had it with the sapphire sidestones though. It was stunning!!! I ended up going a different route though since it was out of my budget. Custom might be a good idea for you. I ended up going custom and have been thrilled with the results.
