Setting Help

[chuck81]

I'm looking for settings for a Round Brilliant diamond about 6mm in diameter. We've talked about settings in the past, and I know she likes filigree settings. I've found a few places online that seem to specialize in antique style settings, but I feel as though I can't accurately gauge the quality of the filigree work. I am here asking PSers, what do you think? Is the ring quality? Or does the work leave something to be desired.
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Hi Chuck,
I dont really consider these settings to be filigree. These are engraved antique looking settings (IMO). Filigree settings
(to me) have metal with cutouts in it. Take a look at this

So...question...does your GF like the engraved settings like you posted or does she like filigree?

Good question. I think she likes the engraving but not necessarily filigree. She calls what she likes filigree, but when we looked at settings she didn't like the way filigree settings hide the stone. So she likes engraved/antique style, but not filigree. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Chuck! If your gf likes a more antique look then I would go for the cathedral setting in your second post.

I love this ring: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/after-much-deliberation-i-found-the-stone-now-the-ring.160811/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/after-much-deliberation-i-found-the-stone-now-the-ring.160811/[/URL] n And it's affordable. I'd get this Beverly K.

Alternately if this one will take a 6mm center, I think it's a great setting and a nice deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170873564479?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
