Vintage settings

[indigoblue]

I disagree that they are all to die for, but some of them are quite nice. Just thought some of you might enjoy looking at some vintage settings.

I like the Cartier one.

I thought I would like so many more than I did, but there is a lot of good inspiration there. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I love them, I love them all (well except for like two or three). I was looking for designs for a few of my stones. Now not only do I have my design inspiration, but I need to go buy more stones to complete the rest of them!

A lot of them would be really great for showcasing a special stone that was really small too.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go save practically every image on that list. Starting with #16. Ooooohhhhhh

Edited to add: I just googled erstwhile jewelry and I think I'm in heaven. That top ring on their home page, I don't want a cs version of that, I need one.

ONE OF EACH PLEASE.

One #16 to go, please

I like 4 or 5 of them but it's going to cost an arm and a leg to replicate. The Cartier stands out to me the most. I think it is the contrast between the stark bezel and the soft rounded halo, and also the black enamel (?).

Number 39! That would be an awesome wedding band. I love little secrets like that. I want one.

I recognize at least 2 settings as ones that Single Stone currently makes. I am guessing the SS settings are reproductions of actual antiques.

Typically, yes. They also make antique inspired rings, that have elements that were popular from times past, and the casual observer and even most jewelry aficionados would deduce that they are just carefully preserved antiques. SS settings = expensive.
