Wanna vote on possible settings?

That bezel is so pretty And that milgraining is gorgeous!

Love love love that bezel ring, Gypsy. Was it an antique or did someone make it recently? Everything about it is perfect.

I love the shape the most. I think that is what I love about the Michael Bondanza Madison setting so much. It is the same shape but without stones. It really calls to me.

That would be my vote - if you are still taking votes! That particular ring seems to have the different elements you were looking for, yet combines a new option (bezel) which seems to set it a level above the original 7 choices.

I'd go w Circe's choice - awesome call!!

I DID chose a setting!!

THE ONE CIRCE POSTED WINS!

But with a different head. I prefer prong set to bezel set for this stone and also want the look of having the stone squared off.

So this will be the HEAD (the shoulders and shank will be what Circe posted)

HEAD:

SHOULDERS/SHANK

Congrats!!! Your stone is fantastic! One of my best friends has her grandmother's upgrade engagement ring--it's from the 50s or 60s, and is a 2.5ct RB center with two graded emerald cuts on each side--very similar to the EC aqua(I think it's an aqua?), and it's goooooorrrgeoussss. I l ve that look!!!

Thanks everyone! It's going to be a while. Hunt isn't going to have a wax till December... so it will be January-ish when I have my new bling. It's going to be a long wait, but worth it.

I love what you've chosen. I cannot wait to see the finished product on your hand!!

Thank you April, I'm looking forward to it as well. The diamond is currently on it's way to BGD for a re-polish (diamond spa). After it's been re-polished it will be ready to set.

I agree with the other posters about picking a setting relevant to the size of your stone. I think settings 1 and 7 are beautiful, but will best with larger stones.

I think the other settings are good possibilities. I like art deco, so I lean towards 4 and 6. I think a round diamond will not get lost in these settings because the transition from the setting to the stone is very abrupt. I think a few of the other settings would look better with a colored stone.

Someone recently posted a Leon Mege setting with an art deco-like setting with a round center. I think that would be a good reference.

EDIT: The setting Circe posted is very pretty. I love milgraining on bezels because it makes them look delicate.
