I popped into a Sholdt retailer - Hamilton Hill - today to just have my ring & prongs checked out since we were in the area. She said my diamond was the cleanest she’s ever seen a customer come in with which my hubs chuckled at because he knows how fanatical I am about it.
In addition to ogling their other Sholdt pieces, my eye went immediately to the neighboring case with several items made by Schaffrath, which I believe they said was a German designer. Never heard of them before, but I really loved their modern vibe. Specifically, this Calla setting, featuring a ~3/4ct diamond (specs unknown/didn’t ask), but I was amazed at how much bigger the diamond appeared in that setting, likely due to the mirror finish inside the tension mounting vs the brushed finish on the rest of the shank.
There were a few more pieces they had that I loved, including a sort of modern bypass style with two pear shaped diamonds (I’ve seen similar versions of the same style, but the quality of this piece was substantially better), but didn’t want to make hubby wait around too long while I snapped pics of other items that caught my eye.

Anyone have pieces by this designer to share?
