Hi everyone - need some advice please. I'm thinking about buying my daughter a DBTY bracelet for her Graduation. She already has a Brian Gavin Barbara solitaire pendant and a pair of studs, so I thought the bracelet would complete the set especially as the stones are bezel set and will match her pendant in style.
I'm thinking of either 3 x .15pt OR a single stone approximately .30 to .40 carat.
My question is, with using bigger diamonds, could the culet get damaged with wear?
Also, another question on the culet especially with the bigger stone - does it scratch or prickle seeing as the bezel appears to only go around the girdle not the whole stone?
If yes to either, what do you think about doing the Barbara setting for the solitaire but as a bracelet - would that work do you think?
I would be looking at 18ct white gold and would probably have either Whiteflash or BG make it for me.
Appreciate your thoughts and thank you in advance.
