Hi all!
I would love to get some ideas for setting my new K VS1 ES from WF
Specs are:
2.432
AGS
K
VS1
60.6 depth
55.9 table
34.2 crown angle
40.8 pavillion angle
15% crown %
thin-med girdle
XX polish & symmetry
no fluor
8.72 X 8.73 X 5.29
HCA 1 XXXVG
LINKY
I love the stone very much. I had reset my 1.76 J into a setting by a good jeweler but because we were on opposite sides of the USA the communtication was just not quite right and after two tries we were unable to get the setting 100% the way I wanted it. What they gave me was a beautiful setting and I would highly recommend them as far as the craftsmanship goes (I''m talking Leon-esk split claw prongs). But we had a hard time with the communication so long distance was just too much. Anyways after all that I decided that I just needed to start out fresh from all stand points and upgraded my stone. So now she needs a nice new setting!
Please give me some ideas. I am going to go through WF for sure. I can''t be without my stone for too long and I have a good communication with WF as I have done a few projects with them already.
I have in mind Lynn b''s beautiful setting and I like the Aramis from WF as well maybe with some carving on the sides of the shank. I got to try on the a jaffe shared prong this weekend when Alj and I went to the boston jewelers building and I really liked it with the euroshank. I like Slammies head as well cause I think it would hide alot of the side color view which I can see in some lighting. But maybe doing it in micropave rather than the way slammies is done. I have also thought about an 8 prong head. There is a really great one on the Michael Barin web site. It''s BR-18 if you wanna look. Here is the link.
OK let me have it.... what do you think?!?!?!!?
