Hi everyone, I''m not engaged yet - still in the searching and learning stages. Up until last week I had my heart set on a princess centre in a Diana Classic setting. After reading many posts on the princess subject (this shape can chip easily and how when comparing a princess and round of the same weight, the round will look bigger) I decided that I would rather have a round diamond that was really sparkly, as opposed to a princess that wouldn''t sparkle as much. Recently, I fell in love with a platinum Scott Kay setting - similar to the dvatche truffle setting - that I saw on their website. My question is this: if I go to the jewellery store in my area and this particular setting is too expensive in platinum, could I ask them to "copy" it in 18wg or perhaps even 14wg depending on my bf''s budget. I know nothing about this. Are jewellers allowed to copy designer settings? Are they trademarked or something? I just want to get the general idea about this sort of thing so I don''t look stupid going in and asking them to do it if it is wrong. Any comments?
