I actually already posted this in the jewelry forum but I thought you gemstone lovers might be of better assistance. I just bought an AMAZING mahenge spinel and need to find the perfect setting.

Here's the stone (6.5x8.8mm and 4.7 deep)


and here is an idea of the kind of setting I want

I'm bumping this thread because though the one Poppy suggested is nice . . . I think it's lacking the bling factor that I want. I don't know if it's the size of the diamonds or what, but I need a bigger look!
Any other suggestions or do I have to go custom (again . . . gulp!)

Update . . . I had Amcor Design make my custom ring for the mahenge garnet. I got pictures last night from Laurie and it looks just like I was hoping. The inner halo has 5 pt diamonds and the outer halo has 7 pointers! smile

Will post better pics when I get it on my hand, but here's the ones from Amcor.
