Hi all,
I have been looking at princess stones on the GOG site, but as I was hunting around I stumbled on the modified brilliants. All of the stones I was looking at on GOG are beautiful anyway, Princesses and modified brilliants, but I have "got used to seeing" the setting I want to buy with a Princess cut in it. I like to look of the squared prongs. It is actuallly on this site, here:

I have found the setting, in platinum, all good so far....
I know that if I went for a modified brilliant (H&A) I would be paying a premium. The dimensions are similar to the princess, even for a lesser weight stone, so physically the stone would be similar, but I would be getting a greater and more uniform fire and brilliance for the extra cost. Unless I can find an exceptional Princess. All basic stuff... (see attached) .91 &. 94 modded brilliants and 1.18 princess.
The thing I can not reconcile is how a modified brilliant would look in a 4 prong setting, the posts would be round and I love the "squareness" of the four prong setting for the princess, I can't seem to find much in the way of pictures of modded brilliants on this site (or elsewhere) and I can not picture it in my mind's eye. I know in my heart that this is a preference thing, but does anyone have any experience of seeing them (modded Brilliants) in a four prong setting, in this type of ring, or perhaps seen any photos about so I can at least make a final desicion.
Then I only have to find the stone of my (our
Thanks
