Celly said:Thank you (: ! I bought this setting not from the wholesaler but from a reputable jeweler in town. He told me that my setting was made from some 79 year old designer from Italy. (He used to be his apprentice) From what he told me the designer likes to recreate rings from the early 1900''s...and told me thats its prob art deco. I wonder what kind of style it is if its not art deco. Anyone know? [\Quote]
Celly said:Thank you all for your kind words!! I really wanted something unique, dainty & intricate - something I wouldn''t see everyday. I was initially looking at vintage settings but came across this setting and knew it was the "one" (: Unfortunately, I don''t know much about it. My jeweler used to be the apprentice of the designer. He only had one in the store and if he sold it before I could purchase it, he said it would take months for him to get another one. He said the designer is really old and is very slow. He also said the designer likes to search through old jewelry books and come up with new settings. So, I don''t know if this is a replica of something or his actual design. If I find out more, I''ll post the information for you. [\Quote]
