I''m in love with pave, but i just found this
http://www.greenlakejewelry.com/gallery/newimgs/final/flush.jpg
i had been thinking of a 3 mm half round band with pave, but now i''m wondering if it''s possible to do the same with teeny flush set diamonds? i would want the diamonds to be more crowded together than the image above(and of slightly varying sizes maybe)...that is, i''d like it to have that encrusted look of pave-just without the spikey beads that come along with it. Is this even possible? is flush setting more or less safe than bead setting (and more or less work for the jeweler, meaning more or less cost to me)
has anyone had this done? thanks in advance for any insights!
