GingerKaBluey Omniscient Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 3137 Loc: OC	Hi All!! Can you please help me find rings similar to these styles with descending sized diamonds down the shank? I am thinking of setting my 8mm OEC light pink sapphire from BTD in a similar style setting but I have to figure out what exactly I am wanting before talking to David Klass more about it. Thank you!!! _________________________ My Diamond Bistro Listings - great prices! http://diamondbistro.com/other/2873/seller.html

I picture you liking it with thinner metal on the sides and maybe some milgrain added. Attachments _________________________ Sharp mind, soft belly.

GingerKaBluey Omniscient Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 3137 Loc: OC	Thanks ladies! Thank you for those extra pictures of the ring I posted Pty! I can't remember where I found that ring and didn't have any of those pictures. I think I will use that as a basis for my design, but I will take off the hand engraving on the sides because my e-ring already has that. I also want a different kind of basket and probably claw prongs. I like a cross between antique style and Leon Mege style. Any more ideas from anyone!? I am happy to see more! _________________________ My Diamond Bistro Listings - great prices! http://diamondbistro.com/other/2873/seller.html

GingerKaBluey Omniscient Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 3137 Loc: OC	I was thinking of something like this for the head/undergallery, but a softer more rounded swoop down the sides and then have the metal come together and have one single claw prong instead of two...thoughts???

Hadley Connoisseur Registered: 06/26/11 Posts: 1660 Loc: Minnesota	Originally Posted By: PtyMom WHOAH! Hadley, where did you find that beauty? I love it!! (in my case, just as is!!) JuBe and PtyMom -- It is at moissanitebridal.com. They are a sister company of Moissanite Fine Jewelry, which has some mixed reviews. I personally had a great experience with them a few years ago - super white stone, awesome customer service, all of it. But Less has caught them making unfair advertising claims, using incorrect photographs, etc. So proceed with caution. Ginger -- I'm assuming that you already know the Tacori Crescent? If not, here's a photo of it. Attachments _________________________ Sharp mind, soft belly.

The ring that Pty posted is an antique that was on ebay a while back. It was one of the rings I considered as a starting point for my own ering, and I think it's gorgeous. I'd love to see your version of it - it sounds like you'd make the same sorts of changes I would! If you're curious about proportions and whatnot, here's a screenshot of its stats: I feel like i had some other similar rings saved somewhere... I'll see if I can dig them up!
