why would anyone ever want a double prong instead of a single prong setting? Double prongs covers up more of the stone. I see lots of jewelers work with both on varying sizes of stones (sometimes smaller stones can have double prong while some larger stones have single prong). Is double prong ever considered more desirable? If so, under what conditions?
double prong:
1) more material = more cost
2) twice as many prongs to fit = more cost
3) hides more of the stone = less performance?
So yes, Im playing devils advocate because I don't understand most likely due to my lack of experience. So please teach me a thing or 2.
