Which Single Stone Setting for The Burk?

[MrsM]

Input needed! I am the lucky owner of the Burk, a gorgeous M-colored 2.1ct OEC. I have been enjoying it loose for the past month and half, trying to imagine what her new home should look like. I think I have it narrowed down to two choices and need to see what the PS community thinks. I know many people do not like bezels, but I have a pronged ring already and really like the look of a thin bezel on a vintage diamond.

Option #1: Similar to the photos but with a slightly thinner bezel which will be millgrained.

Option #2: Similar to the photos but with a thin millgrained bezel.

Neither: Show me a better option!

Please cast your vote and share your thoughts!! (NOTE: I have not seen these settings in person yet but did see another setting from Single Stone. I am so accustomed to seeing enlarged photos that it surprised me how delicate their settings are in real life!)

Congratulations on your new diamond! There's just something about the bezel that I love.

#2 with the milgrain bezel would be beautiful!

I love #2, and I think it would look great with a bezel!

Number two with bezel.

I really like setting two exactly the way it is! If I had to pick a bezel setting, it would still be number two, because I think one is a bit bulky.

I agree with Laila. I love the 3 leaves on the sides - it just seems more delicate to me and the stone is so beautiful, this combination struck me as more pleasing.

Either are beautiful, so it will be hard to finally decide!

No 2 with a bezel. One is gorgeous but I love the details in 2 better! YAY

They are both gorgeous, but number two with a thin milgrain bezel would be

This is my vote too

I chose #2 as well. Its going to be so gorgeous. I can't wait to see which you decide, and congrats on being the new owner this amazing diamond!

Thanks for all the input! #2 is my favorite also but I wanted to make sure that putting a bezel on it would not make it look strange. I love the petals on the sides and the more feminine look of it. I have sent the stone off to Ari and once I make my final decision, the wait begins!

Another vote for #2 with a millegrained bezel. It will be stunning!
