Who would you use for a plain solitaire setting?

[MarionC]

I haven't seen anything "pre-made" that I like for a simple solitaire, so I'll probably have to go custom.
I don't want to spend a fortune, but I want something that is made perfectly in every respect.
Any suggestions?

What is your budget?

I love my Vatche 6-prong Solitaire setting. Got the idea from DS. I happened to read a post in which she recommended another PSer this setting. Highly recommend it. I have seen other less expensive choices, but the Vatche setting is worth every penny. I love its fine, elegant look and quality. The ring looks and FEELS luxury quality.

My favorite.

Aquanaut's Leon Mege. Not sure if I could get the same look if Leon did not make it. I love the short, fat, sharp prongs.

For prong or size prong and what size stone and what shape?

For your Asscher? I would at least contact ERD.

Some of my personal favourite solitaires are the Boston Jeff by Leon Mege and the Trueste by Victor Canera:

... I need to add Junemo's set as well. This is also by Leon Mege. It even has an octagonal donut:

thanks, Acinom.
yes, for the asscher, I mean the square emerald cut
I'm glad to get advice. I thought I had talked with SK before, but it was Victor, and the Trueste is the kind of setting I'm looking for.
i gather making a plain setting isn't rocket science, but then again, it almost can be with all the little nuisances.

This is the SK I was looking at. Some have said there are more cost-effective ways to get this look, that SK is fairly
I'm hesitant to work with Leon because of what I've read here.
and as much as I love my vendors - I don't know if they are the place to have a setting made. I'm not putting them down, I just don't know.

that Vatche Caroline is pretty close!

btw-I thought you would like this...[I posted it elsewhere, but you may not have seen it].
When I took my SEC to my jeweler to show him, another jeweler there proudly brought out the "asscher" they had handpicked for a client. It was obvious that they were trying to impress me that they could get better stones than I could. Or maybe they were just being kind - showing me what a real ideal cut asscher looks like
First they said it was a "GIA Ideal Cut Asscher" which I explained it couldn't be [so they ran to get the cert. to show me - whoops]
It was top color & clarity, but poor performance. I told them it was pretty but had P3 issues, but their client would probably never know the difference. You would have been proud of me - I think I was channeling you a bit

I like the Vatche's I have seen at GOG~
