I''m looking at solitaire settings like the tiffany replicas or stuller solstice, but am not "feeling the love" when it comes to the ring shanks.
I would like to have something that tapers in a bit toward the stone. The tiffany replicas I''ve seen are beautiful but the knife edges seem to sharp or harsh for me. The solstice with the peg head looks nice from the side but a bit bulky and industrial from the top.
I''m also finding that pictures only are a hard way to judge the settings. I''ve gone into several local stores and looked at settings, but my quest for the small details seems to leave them shaking their heads.
I guess I''d like to find a setting that is softer around the finger but pinches into a knife edge where the head joins it. Have I gone over the edge?
