Need advise -round center stone with baguettes setting

jykate Rough Rock Total Posts: 14 Last Post: 1/28/2009 Member Since: 1/15/2009	Which setting looks better? I want a round center stone with baguettes. Should it have a basket or just the V shape holding the round center stone. I think I like the V shape without the basket. I am hearing that its looks better with the baguettes and more secure with the basket holding the diamond. What do you guys think?

To me, it wouldn't look right without the basket. The side of the basket is aligned with the sides holding the baguettes. Here is the Vatche setting which belongs to one of our members, asscherisme: ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

I like my baguettes teeny tiny and long. 4) This one is similar to #2, but I like it a little better because it seems to be a little more streamlined and has tiny baguettes. ************************** "In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song." -Muriel Barbary

The setting should be replaced but I'm having trouble finding a setting with the basket that I like so I've always thought the V shape setting was the easier one to find.

Circe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,834 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/26/2007	I vote for the "V" setting - I have a variant of this (I think), and I love how open the setting is. Attaching a pic to make sure we're talking about the same thing ....
