Recommend Stuller Setting

[mugatu300]

Hello all, went to my jeweler friend for a 6 prong solitaire and they told me to browse Stuller's site (either premade rings or shank/head combo) and let them know my favorite. Looking for something similar to this: https://taylorandhart.com/us/engagement-rings/grace-18k-white-gold-engagement-ring-round-diamond

Problem is, I cannot find anything on Stuller's site that is similar to that. Want prongs that are dainty, low profile, and hug the diamond. Seems most of the stuller prongs are chunky i.e. https://www.stuller.com/products/30...nSource=CategoryBrowse&recommendationIndex=48

Any suggestions?

Is there a reason you can't ask them to get this setting? Looks very close to the Tiffany style, and a good bench jeweler can shape the prongs to make them a bit daintier for you.

I bought a setting from Stuller and had the jeweler make the prongs thinner and daintier. I'm very happy with it.

Do you happen to have a before and after picture? Or at least the original Stuller cat# and what the prongs look like now?

 

[lovedogs]

The jeweler will work with the prongs to make them how you prefer. The stuller pics/video are generated and arent exactly how the prongs will look once set

I dont think you are going to get the look you want with the links you posted. I think if you are going with Stuller you need to stick
with the Soltice head...like @Kim N posted.

If you are really determined to get that exact look you can go custom (David Klass). It will take probably 4-6 weeks and might
cost somewhere in the $750-$950 range (gold). These are my guesstimates having worked with him before. You'll have to
contact him to get exact specs.

Similar settings that would need to be tweaked to get what you want.

What is it exactly that you like about the setting you posted (trying to figure out what's important to you)?

What I see when I see this setting is
- tiffany style head
- very small donut
- raised shank that connects to head
- shank becomes somewhat knife edge as it reaches head (shank does not go down in overall mm width though)
- rounded or petite ball prong tips holding stone

Is there anything I'm missing?

The tiffany style head is very important to me- thin prongs that really cup the diamond without a lot of extra space. Only thing I would change about the head is baby claw prong tips rather than rounded tips.

The small donut is OK to me.

I would like to decrease the shoulder height a bit. The way it raises up to the head is a bit much for me. Would want a shoulder height that more resembles the Vatche replica: https://www.whiteflash.com/engageme...-solitaire-engagement-ring-by-vatche-1779.htm

A very subtle knife edge may be OK for me or just a classic half round shank. What I do not like is a flat band which the Stuller bombe shank sort of looks like.

2.0-2.2mm band width is also important to me.

My timeline is 4 weeks to proposal tho which is why I was hoping I could find something on Stuller to expedite process.

 

[tyty333]

JA has this one but it's $1100 plus $100 for setting outside stone plus I think another $100 for a stone over 7mm. Unfortunately,
they are not running a 25% off at the moment.

I think if your requirements are this strict, going custom makes much more sense. DK makes amazing tiffany style settings

Here is another option. It’s offered in multiple metals and 4 or 6 prongs. You can order just the setting but a fee does apply.

I found a Stuller setting I like minus the slightly tall shoulders and thick band width:

My question is, what head would you say that is? Ideally, I'd like to place that head on a thinner shank.

Do you think it is either of the heads used below? Both are solstice heads but they have dramatically different looks if you scroll over to the video view in each link. Option A has a solstice shank head, but there is a lot of open space between the prong tips and the body of the diamond. Option B has a solstice peg head and does a much better job of cupping the diamond tight which I like (similar to head above)

You'd want the low height Solstice 6 prong peg head, I believe. In the smallest size the jeweler can cram your stone into. The prongs tend to start curving into bent fingers if the head is too tall or too roomy. You want them spread out and straight and angular.
I don't know what shank would fit flush against the head the same way that the Tiffany is shaped. There is a knife edge Solstice shank but i dont think it'll do what you want.

Wink Jones used to have a New York solitaire in his line. Of whats been shown here, i think that Adimor setting is perfection for a 7.5mm RB stone.

That first setting is too wide for my taste (3.7mm). I think they do have the ability to do adjustments like if you tell them you want
that setting but with a 2.2mm shank. Not sure what it would cost though.

This is really pretty. Do you know @rosepetals if adiamor sets outside stones? I don't know off hand.

I’m not sure if they set outside stones but I do know they will sell just the setting (a fee does apply). I thought he could order the setting and have his local jeweler set the stone.

That's a great idea if it fits in his timeline!

I think I am just going to go with Stuller as it will be easiest and not risky for my timeline. That said, I have a few questions. If anyone could answer some or all it would be super, super helpful

1) Does anyone know the head and shank used in either of the two below? Most of their engagement rings show the head and shank components but these two dont.

2) Do you think there is any difference between a solstice shank setting and a solstice peg setting head? They look about the same (minus the peg), but if you compare the videos, it seems like the ring with peg head (2nd link) holds the diamond much more closely with less open space.

www.stuller.com

3) Does a solstice head have to go into a solstice shank? For instance, in ring below it has solstice head with solstice shank. Can that head instead be used in a non-solstice shank like the 2nd link below?

The ring below is confirmed a modification of a Stuller stock setting. Any idea how to recreate this look?

https://www.goodoldgold.com/Good-Old-Gold-Engagement-Rings/STUCAM-JSHA/4580080/EN

It looks like a solstice head on a non solstice shank. Just like a regular half round 2.0mm shank. Any ideas?
