I ordered a stone from WF that should be coming in next week. I had not yet made my decision with a setting but I needed to order the stone right away because two other people wanted it also(so I hope it''s a good one!).
I want it set in a classical tiffany-type setting, preferably 6-prong. I read the last few threads on 4-prong vs 6-prong and it seemed like most everyone that replied to the thread liked the 4-prong because it didn''t cover as much of the diamond as the 6. But I seem to still like the way the 6 looks. I know in the end, it''s all about selecting what I think she will love the most, but I just want some reassurance that some of you out there love your 6-prong tiff settings.
Oh yeah, the stone is a .807 ACA G, SI1. I don''t know if that affects your guys'' opinion.
One more thing, I''ve seen most of the tiffany settings to be about 2.7 mm, or some that are a 3.2mm that tapers to a 2.3. Is it possible for a platinum smith to make a classical tiffany setting that''s about 2mm thick all the way around? Or is that too thin? I don''t know much about settings...I''ve only looked at a ton of them to see what I liked. That''s why I need to go w/ platinum, cuz it''s stronger and I figured it could be possible to do a 2mm thick band...
Please help....
