Looking for setting for my oval morganite

[isaku5]

I finally found a baby pink morganite oval whose dimensions are 14 x 12mm.

Now comes the setting search. After looking at threads for oval diamonds, I found a beauty, but don''t know where it''s from. Anyone have an idea either about this one or another?

And here''s the morganite...

Just an idea, but I like a lot of these settings that Firenze has... Pretty stone, BTW!

I don''t know what your budget is, but this dealer I''ve bought from before, and he has settings identical to the one you posted at the top of this thread, but I don''t know if he has one that would fit a 12 x 14 stone. He''s extremely good to work with and his diamonds are very nice (not the frozen spit kind). You can purchase a gemstone ring from him, and he can give you the mountng without the gemstone less a percentage of the price. This is kind of whimisical and very well priced and would fit a 12 x 14 stone. His prices are very reasonable.

He also doesn''t charge any extra for shipping or sizing and I had him size my mounting from a 6 to a 9. This setting is extremely well priced for almost 8 grams of gold and 30 points of diamonds.

I almost want to say that it''s from Knox Jewelers?

But realistically, I think it would need to be made custom, as **most** halos are, so you could probably get anyone to make that setting for you.

As you know, Maytal makes settings like the one above. I guess the major question is whether you want to pay more for a setting than the stone probably cost. On the other hand, you''ll probably have to have a custom made setting if you want a halo style to fit your stone.

FacetFire: Thanks for posting that lovely setting. Perhaps I could contact the seller to see whether he has one with uniform size pave diamonds around the bezel.

twodoor2: I love the price and the fact that shipping is free

neatfreak: Thanks for the suggestion of Knox Jewelers. I think they''ll do custom made and I''ll inquire about the cost.

diamondseeker: I''m sure Maytal would make a similar setting, but the cost might be multiples of the morganite''s cost. No harm in asking, though. Thanks.

This one is VERY close to the one above.. it''s from Knox... stock... so the only customization if going to be for your stone''s size. I love it.

Thanks, Gypsy. It is a beauty and I have contacted Knox jewelers about a price.

The Firenze picture posted yesterday by FacetFire would be $2000. in WG. I'm not thrilled about either the marquis diamonds on the side or the basket style under the stone. Firenze also had a split shank halo that I really liked, but it can't be made to fit the morg.

Hopefully, I'll hear from Ryan Knox and Maytal soon.

Since the morganite is large enough, maybe I could save a lot of $$ by eliminating the halo. The practical side of me says that it's crazy to spend multiples of the cost of the stone on a setting.
