Show me your ‘swoopy’ galleries please

[the_mother_thing]

Looking for additional examples/pictures of ‘swoopy’ galleries like those in the pics below. Anyone have a similar gallery on their ring/s they care to share, or perhaps something like this saved in an inspiration folder? I’m looking to possibly incorporate something like this for my next project.
Thanks in advance!

This immediately makes me think of @Matthews1127's engagement ring. The gallery on that is sooo swoopy, but in a slightly different style to your examples.

@Lykame I will have to go look through her posts for pics of it; thank you!

I’m also thinking something along these lines. This Daniel K and Leon Mege

Thank you for thinking of me, @Lykame!!! The setting design really is unique, and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it!! I’m so pleased DH chose it for my ER!! He seems to love it almost as much as I do...lol!!

ETA: @Diamond425 has the same setting in platinum, and it holds a beautiful Marquise.

These are great, beautiful examples! Thanks so much @Lovesparklesparle @Matthews1127 for posting these pics!

I’m thinking about having my diamond set down into the ‘swoops’ as a kind of side/girdle protection while allowing for a beautiful gallery/profile view since that’s how I view my rings 90% of the time. I really like how the swoops on @Matthews1127 ring appear, and are a great pic to visualize how this may look, though mine would be set lower down ... those swoops are just so gorgeous! Is it my eyes, or are the side swoops a little higher up than the north/south swoops?

The setting is designed to cradle a smaller, round stone. DH had the jeweler create a head in platinum to accommodate my EC.
The swoops would be considered a “collar” so to speak. The stone was meant to sit lower, in the original design, but my EC was not going to fit inside that space...lol!
The E-W swoops are on an angle to face up more, from the Top view. The N-S swoops are more head on for profile views.
My 7 stone Anniversary Band that I am going to create incorporates this design.
How exciting that you are interested in a similar design!! I can’t wait to see what you do!!

Thank you for those additional threads @missy more beautiful examples!

@Matthews1127 Thank you for sharing about your ring. I wondered if it always had the peg or if it was a mod. It’s beautiful! And I appreciate the confirmation about the different swoop angles! Very helpful as I would likely need a similar variation to accommodate the ring shank design I want.
