Dahlia & friends thread (please add yours!)

It's almost a shame that these are earrings because the flower basket is so stunning. see more of @t86 's halo / stud combo from august vintage here:

Thank you for adding me and keeping one of the best threads on PS in bloom!
 
Here are top views of my Dahlia. It was the first one made. I exchanged so many emails with Caysie during the process to get it exactly how I wanted it. I wanted more metal in the silhouette/prongs both to protect the diamond and also to have a pronounced flower effect. I think the top view and basket are what makes the ring so special, like a beautiful lotus flower. The height of the shank was purposely made slightly higher too bc I didn’t want a diamond band hitting the basket and chewing away the metal.
I previously had a Leon mege solitaire and the basket on that ring had been worn away from my diamond band.

If you don’t mind me asking, what size is your diamond? I love this setting and it’s currently in n design. I love the 8 prong but my diamond is 1.5 carat. I don’t know if that would overwhelm it. Should I go 6 or would that loose the flower petal look like yours above?

I'm not @ringbling17 but with a 1.5 I'd probably do 6 prongs. 8 could work - your jeweler should be able to mock up both. If you look in the thread there are some tulip settings w/ 4 prongs. mine has 6 and I think it still looks quite floral!
 

This is just beautiful, @ecf8503 !! The buttery yellow gold is so rich and it allows the icy white of your stone to POP! :kiss2: Is this a reset of the same stone from your avatar (Chloe setting, I think?)?

Oh duh! I didn't check the facets :oops: How wonderful to own 2 rounds, with one in each type of metal. Both are stunning! :)
