I'm currently working with Jeff on cutting me a cushion yellow chrysoberyl (with no green undertones) or sapphire for an engagement ring (pictures of the cut attached below - but in yellow).
Since I'm a recent graduate school grad, money is a bit tight at the moment and my gf and I opted for a colored stone over a diamond. However, we both love the GOG August Vintage Cushions! As a gift in the future, I'd like to be able to give her one of these diamonds and turn the gemstone into a nice pendant for a necklace.
So, my question is regarding the setting. After spending WAY too much time researching rings, the Tacori 2620 keeps coming back to the top of the list. The delicate halo, detailing on the basket and antique-y feel are exactly what I'm looking for. Ideally, I'd buy the Tacori now, set the gem and later upgrade to the AVC. I have only seen one gemstone set in a 2620 (the sapphire attached below). Does anyone know Tacori's policy on setting gemstones (I emailed them several weeks ago but have yet to get a response)? Or has anyone set a gemstone in a Tacori?
Thoughts on the look of setting a yellow gem for an engagement ring in general; in the Tacori specifically?
The Tacori 2620 RD SM will accommodate round diamonds in the 0.9 - 1.18 carat range. This is roughly 6.3 - 6.8 mm. As long as both stones are within that range, the ring should be able to hold the gemstone then be reset to hold the diamond, yeah?
If anyone has experience with setting gemstones or having gemstones set, please chime in. Just want to make sure I don't overlook anything.
