Well it's far easier to give advice than to actually do it. You got on with it Sarah and its a beautiful ring. Dennis.

[Patstone]

Yes it is beautiful Sarah. Well done. Did you do it in two pieces after all.?

[Wallace]

great achievement, well done Sarah.

Thank you Dennis, it really is lovely having you around for advice.

Thanks Pat and Wallace !
Pat, I didn't in the end, I was going to and then for some reason I decided to see how easily it would bend around and it actually went round really nicely so I went with that.
I used the 18ct rolled down to about 0.25 in the end as I had some of that here.
I was terrified the whole time the stone would chip on the ends as I was setting it though as Ive chipped an oval Alexandrite before just with finger pressure against a bezel! I did have a spare one just in case lol

Why not take pictures and write notes about the stones that you like instead? Saves you a fair bit of money and heart ache if you can't get the piece set in the right way that you want! Especially if you're going to reset antique jewellery, it's a good idea to hold off until you can actually guarantee the work can be done otherwise you might get quite disappointed in the end.

Im not sure what you are talking about Andrew?
I do commissions not antique repairs?
No money loss or heartache here thanks
