Calling all WF Classic setting owners with shaved down prongs!! I know there are some of you out there.
Hi everyone! WF is currently working on my setting for a 0.8ct stone. I (like so many other PS with great taste
) have gone for the Classic Tiff replica from WF. For some reason the prongs are still bothering me. There seems to be a lot of metal underneath the diamond between the band. I have requested to have the prongs shaved down, but I am wondering how this is done and where the metal is shaved down from. I have emailed Lesley and I know she will be right onto it (brilliant woman, paitence of a saint!), but I wanted to get some idea from you guys.
When the prongs are shaved down, is the metal taken from the prongs outside the head, or inside the head, underneath the diamond? It''''s like I want to get a spoon and scoop out some metal from inside, shorten the prongs and plop the diamond down deeped into the head?! The ''''original'''' on the Tiff''''s website seems to have a lot less metal underneath the diamond, and it''''s sits so low the bottom of the diamond almost touches the donut thingy. I would love to post a pic to help my explanation, but I am not sure how that will go
Any opinions? Ideas?
