Hi guys! 
I'm adding another frenchie band to the beautiful mix we have here on PS. It took me quite a while to get it done, but that makes victory all the sweeter!
Here's the story of how I found the vintage french cuts: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/another-ebay-rollercoaster-french-cuts.184125/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/another-ebay-rollercoaster-french-cuts.184125/[/URL]
And here's the beginning of my setting ideas process: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/setting-search-advice-five-stone-ring.185853/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/setting-search-advice-five-stone-ring.185853/[/URL]
After a hiccup with one artist (that set me back a couple months, but no expense financially), I contacted DanielM for a custom setting. As usual, Caren was a pleasure to communicate with (and very patient too, while I was indecisive over bezels vs. prongs, silver vs. gold, etc etc). Before I knew it, I had CADs from Dan, and then a couple weeks later my prong-set, yellow gold, 6-stone, french-cut ring was done!
Basic stats (sorry don't remember the total carat weight) -- the stones are a little elongated, around 3mm on the short size, ~3.3-3.4mm on the long side (set N-S). Ring size 5.

Covers the top of your finger beautifully and the YG is so rich! Next to your band those frenchies really pop! I'm falling in love with YG again. Wore it back in the day and am slowly adding a few pieces back into my goodies. Gorgeous choice!
Looking forward to seeing your new OEC ring. And in the meantime, you have this beauty to tide you over! Life is good!
