[ROSECUTS13]

Help!!!

I am looking for setting Ideas for 2ct Antique Rose Cut Pear.

I found my dream stone, and now I looking for inspiring ways to set this beautiful stone.

I would like to maintian a beautiful low profile feel with a vintage looking yellow gold, maybe a hammered or textured band.

I prefer to not use any other stones in the setting, but want something that makes the gold and stone melt together in a natural organic manner‍. Is it all possible?

I would love to hear some thoughts? Or see inspirational picture for this beautiful stone!

Thank you!

some ideas...

cvb designs, there are threads about mixed experiences w/ this designer however

something like green lake jewelry, they do a lot of floral/earthy looking settings

this is from mociun ... a lot of jewelers should be able to do this kind of style

last idea from sofia kaman...imagine something like this without the outer halo and sidestones though




happy hunting!

I have been reading different thoughts about the bezel, and losing light, but I do kind of like the clean look of it. The stone is so pretty I dont want to rest of the ring to take away from it, but would still like a touch of earthy antique character.

whether a bezel will lose you a lot of light depends on your stone i think...are you planning on having an open back or closed back for it? the end result will depend on the design and i think a good jeweler can help you optimize for your specific stone

you could also do a similar ring with prongs instead of bezel and still have an earthy feel

Here’s an example of Georgian style, though this setting is not antique. It’s gorgeous!

My belief is that it’s oxidized silver on top of 14k gold. That particular seller makes this style for other shapes but doesn’t set customer stones, unfortunately.
This is called Georgian cut-down Collet, which is an old fashioned kind of bezel. Here’s a link with too much info, but have fun! https://gemgossip.com/how-to-identify-genuine-georgian-jewelry-part-1/
