Question on setting size for a regent

Would a 1 carat regent work with a 1 carat round brilliant Lucida setting? Thanks Kari

While this cut is symmetrical, the diagonals are longer that the widths. I suppose a Lucida cut head of the same approximate carat weight size will probably be a close fit for the Regent. What you need is a head formed to a squarish shape, rather than round. The undergallery should not be highly visible when the diamond is set. If the setting was for a round stone, then more of the underwires might show and not look so nice. David S. Atlas GG(GIA), ASG, Sr. Mbr. NAJA www.datlas.com
