Am posting this in case some of you collectors may have something stashed away that you'd consider allowing to go to a new home. (Will continue to check ebay, but would rather buy from a PSer if someone just happens to have something stashed away.)
I'd like an OMC .75-1 ct. (could be larger, but I doubt that's available in my budget). Am not too picky about color or clarity as long as the diamond is eye clean. Don't mind a little wonk, like a medium to large culet. Setting can be either typical vintage solitaire with small sidestones or something art deco-ish, but not too wide, tall, or elaborate. A simple fishtail setting would work, too, like the inexpensive ones that used to be available on DB.
This (photos below) was available on ebay for a short while, but seemed overpriced at $2500. Before I could make an offer (which I'm pretty sure the seller would have refused), the ring sold. This setting isn't my usual style, but I love this one. I like that the setting is fairly low and that the shoulders are concave. I like that the design is smooth rather than milgrain/bumpy. The head is not a bezel but has that look and the head flares from bottom to top so a low band would fit against it.
I wear a size 8 (might be able to squeeze into a 7.75, 8.25 is comfy). Prefer platinum, but white gold is fine. Might even consider yellow gold.
If you have something, or know of a similar setting from a setting supplier, please post. I can probably find a diamond if no one has one that needs a new home but the setting will be more challenging.
Thanks,
liz
P.S. Love the GOG OMC that's on LT or DB but the diamond alone is out of budget so it's not an option.

, but is very close to your budget.
