First post, but I have spent a ton of time here! I am upgrading my diamond and I am searching for the perfect ring setting. My front runner is a round diamond ring with pear side stones. My biggest fear is that the V prongs will “poke” my neighboring fingers and be uncomfortable. Does anyone have any opinions on this? Even though the “pinched” shank looks beautiful with this style of ring, I know I will have to get a flatter shank (asprey I believe), just to be safe.
The biggest reason I want a new setting is that my current setting is very uncomfortable. It has pave diamond detailing on the sides of the shank and the tiny prongs are like sandpaper on the inside of my neighboring fingers. I don’t want to make this mistake again!
I have quotes from both Leon Mege and Steven Kirsch for this particularly design and I am hoping to travel to NY to meet with both of them in a few weeks, as well as pick out a diamond probably from ERD.
The other setting I am highly intrigued by is a Steven Kirsch design – “True Love”, but I am not sure if I would like the thinner shoulder/shank. I like my rings to be a little thicker as I don’t wear a wedding band. Any thoughts?

I should mention, I am looking for a 3.2 - 3.6 carat round diamond.
Thanks for your help! I have learned so much from this forum!
