I think I've chosen my stone and am deciding between these three settings:
1) Blue Nile Nouveau Knife Edge Six Prong Solitaire
14k White gold with platinum prongs: $440
or platinum for $900
https://www.bluenile.com/build-your...r=customizer&track=alternate-metalsCustomizer
-The prongs might look bulky in pictures but apparently they're not as bulky in person. Even if they are, I suppose I could have them shaved by a local bench. Here's the setting by a fellow PSer
-Since my stone is from Blue Nile, I wouldn't have to pay additional shipping and insurance costs and can have all the work done there, easy peasy.
2) Whiteflash Knife-Edge Solitaire
Platinum $1300 + insurance + shipping (probably $150)
https://www.whiteflash.com/engageme...edge-solitaire-engagement-ring-734.htm#size=6
*Since the stone is not from WF, the setting will be sold AS IS. No modifications allowed (can't thin the shank, no special alloy requests, etc).
3) Vatche U-113
Platinum $2100 + insurance + shipping (probably $150)
https://www.whiteflash.com/engageme...-solitaire-engagement-ring-by-vatche-1778.htm
-I've been wearing a $350 setting for years so I'm having a hard time justifying the +$2100 price tag. I could get the Blue Nile setting and have 2 round trip tickets to Europe to spare
-The Vatche is pretty but I might actually prefer a slightly thicker and more substantial shank.
-If I do go the Vatche route, can anyone recommend a good vendor that might offer the platinum version that accommodates a 2.5 carat stone for less?
Any thoughts?
If anyone has pics of any 2.5 carat Tiffany/repro solitaires for me to drool over, please share!
