So first of all everyone who suggested the Emerald Cut Solitaire in my $25,000 thread wins!!! Thanks to all who played! I took your suggestions seriously.
And we went to New York last weekend and got ideas but no ring. And then I was playing around in better colors on a vendor’s site a few of you had suggested and lo and behold…I found her!!!
She is $7,000 over budget but guess who happens to have a big tax refund sitting around? Yep. This lady!!!
So I texted him, “I love it! May I PLEASE pay the difference???” & he who previously was sure I would find love in the original price range replied, “Ok! It’s Beautiful!!!”
So She is a 2 carat E Emerald Cut VS1. Vendor says she is eye clean. LW ratio is 1.36. Dimensions are about 8.6x6.3. I am being slightly vague because she is on hold for the weekend and I don’t want to get scooped before we pay. Not sure if that ever happens. I think these people are ethical but New York was a journey of all kinds of high pressure sales so who knows???
Now I come humbly to request ideas so I can get her set for the holidays!!! Trying to stay either traditional solitaire or bezel because every dollar over budget is my dollar. Also she is going to be magnificent and I hope she can hold her own without the need for more bling. As soon as we mail the checks, I’ll provide all the deets.
So now the question is: what simple platinum setting would you do???
I was hard over on a bezel before but some double claw prongs are mighty seductive.
SandyK’s Maytal Hanna ring is lovely (below) but the modernness of the squared off shank is not me.
How would this look with a rounder band? Or a knife edge?
How slender a band can I get away with with?
Please feel free to post ideas (especially if you have experience with ECs)
