Oh, I wish I have seen your post earlier. I had a pair of trillions laying around for years. And two weeks ago I finally decided that I need to use them and commissioned a project...
I still have a pair of tapered baguettes laying around in case it would help. What ctw of side stones are you looking for?
What is your budget? There are a few on loupe troop search "pair"- I saw a semi mount on ebay with half moons.
Oh my. Can you show me your baguettes? I have a 6.5 radiant... I want to make it a three stone ring. I need to find out what size will go well with it, but with baguettes it might be more forgiving.
I think DK can probably work in your budget. It’s just what parameters you want to work in. Also lab diamond suggestion is a good one. He did some awesome looking lab diamonds in a halo for @whitewave not that long ago.
I think if you are willing to wait around for awhile for something to pop up-you might get a second hand ‘deal’. But remember - most LT sales don’t have return period if you don’t like them, or don’t like the proportions to your centerstone.
I also think contacting this seller -as a shot in the dark- to ask what she may have?

Yes, the lab melee for the halo on my yellow sapphire ring are gorgeous!
To be honest, you might be happier just letting DK source your sides. You have a significant stone, sides will not make a major difference for a budget for the ring as a whole and that way DK can suggest you a couple of options so that you can choose what looks most pleasing for your eye
Yes I think that might be the best route. I had asked around how much and they wanted to charge a very high rate. Perhaps because it’s a big stone... they said 5k-7k, but I thought it ridiculous. But why would I pay that amount just for the setting alone...
Thank you so much for sharing with me. Your ring is beautifully made.
