I'm sad to be letting this mount go
It originally held a 2.7ct ct center (~9mm), 0.43ct sides (~0.5mm), 0.24ct sides (~4mm), and 0.2ct sides (~3.6mm)
18k palladium WG (unplated - it's a naturally very "white" alloy of WG).
DBL's uber bench chose to hand-forge the trellis portion for strength and delicacy and cast the shank for fluid graduation in width and depth.
Currently size 4.25, reasonably sizable.
The workmanship on this piece is... exemplary
The stones were unset by a local jeweller with an eye to future re-set of other stones. The prongs will need some re-shaping/buildup as a result of unsetting the older stones, but they benefit from having been hand-forged - the wires, though delicate, are far stronger and more resilient than a cast trellis! The milgrain on the sidestone baskets has been worn down in two areas and would benefit from re-application.

$1095, asking price is firm. This is easily 25-30% of what this setting would currently cost to have manufactured in this fashion (hand-forging the trellis portion is the expensive part!
)
Shipping within the US is included in the asking price, please contact me to discuss shipping to Canada! I don't ship outside the US/Canada, sorry
