Default Diamond studs with an antique look?

I am shopping for my first pair of diamond studs. I will be buying the diamonds from a diamond broker (Canadian diamonds) and I am looking for a setting that has an antique look. I like Art Deco styles and filigree. I'm hoping to find a stud setting that has a bit of that style to it. Has anyone seen something along these lines? Thanks:)

the buttercup setting:








these are actually buttercup snap-tite settings in 14K from stuller. i wanted to cut costs by setting the stones myself (they're old european cut CZs ) but i know stuller does carry the regular buttercup with prongs that will need professional setting, much safer for diamonds.

here's a link to the vintage style earrings on stuller's page. your jeweler should be able to get the mountings for you.

here is a link for all the scroll settings stuller offers. they're kinda filigree-ish.
