Tapered setting?

[sapphic]

I''m in search for a setting for a 1.5c stone. I like the way tapered rings look from the top, but have not seen too many that do this. The ones I know are the Fine Line by Le at WhiteFlash. The Vatche Royal Crown/Royal X also do this to some extent. I think I also saw a Mark Morrell setting that had this effect.

Any recommendations out there for other rings to consider that have the tapered look?

Thanks!

Scott Kay makes a few like this. I''m sorry I don''t have any examples to post but I believe the current collection is on his web site www.scottkay.com.

Here's sxn's Fine Line by LE with the nice tapered effect.

This one's one of the nicer settings I've seen with the tapered effect (Mark Morrell). Taken from this thread:

They are very nice....I love that look....a nice solid band, but not too thick near the stone...MM''s settings really "flow".....WOW!

If I take that picture of the Mark Morrell and went to a local bay area custom maker, do you think they would be able to replicate it pretty easily? How much do you think a custom ring like that would cost from MM?

My concern is that I saw a in-house settings a local store(Derco) that looked kind of "rough", in that some of the edges weren''t that polished and symmetry was not ideal.

Have you looked at the eye-candy thread at the top of the SMTR forum????? Some beauties in there....................

Hi there.
That tapered look is exactly what I am looking for as well. WF has one in their design at about 475 for plat called sleak lines and Stuller.com has a couple too.
here is a six prong. Comes in any metal and comes in four prong as well.
