I just received a 2.34 antique cushion that is an M VS2 yesterday. I thought I had the setting all figured out for it, but then the stone arrived. Now, I'm not sure. It was going to be a french cut emerald target halo. It measures 8.29 x 7.94.
This is the stone:
I was planning on making a target ring to replace a smaller target ring I sold. This is the setting I was going to go with originally.
Now that I have the stone, I almost think that it would be better as a non-gem halo. It's not an engagement ring or an upgrade. Just a ring. So I don't want a super traditional solitaire either.
I have always liked these two settings by CvB, but I have never worked with her, so I don't know if we'd be a good match. I have done custom work before too, so I know it takes time. But, I like both settings:
I also really like the Clara, but I don't know if it's right for the stone.
Help? Any input? Target ring or not? Or something altogether different?
