treysar Ideal Rock Total Posts: 935 Last Post: 4/29/2009 Member Since: 6/5/2004	Hello! I posted earlier, but now I have added a pic. I am trying to find a setting like this - it is a round brilliant stone set in the shown 4 L shaped prongs, framed in pave set diamonds in a soft square shape (see pic) Can you help me find this? Thanks! *2 one way tickets and a diamond ring, hell it don't matter what the rain might bring...*

oldminer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,964 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/4/2000	When we see this prong design it is Art Deco jewelry for the center diamond. We describe this as a "diamond set in beads inside V prongs". The prongs rise only a little from a flat plate. Actually they are filed in relief from the solid plate or the plate is cast or die struck with these low prongs. The diamond is then fitted, as if it was going to be bead set, but only in the prong tips, and then the setter raises a bead inside each prong top and places it over the diamond and then bright cuts the excess away inside the V prong tip. The result is a diamond set in 4 low prongs which is actually pave' set but only in the prong tips. I know this is a bit technical, but it would work as a description to a bench jeweler..... David S.

I think you should change your name from "oldminer" to "thewiseone" You seriously seem able to answer every question and explain them in ways that we can all understand (and go to jewelers NOT sounding silly by saying "you know, those prongy things that, like, cover the corners on square stones, even though this is a round stone...". Thanks for all the help (even though this isn't my thread or question!)

I still have to check out your formula researcer...I've had such a brain ache...I am working on a very nasty little project at work... I like the look of these prongs too! I once wondered if I should buy a round and have it set to look square. GASP!!! LOL.... UGH, what I wouldn't do for a jubilee...but the supply just isn't there.... ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggon'it, people like me.

researcher Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,440 Last Post: 5/26/2008 Member Since: 4/27/2004	I'm with ya on that! As for the formula, it's easy! Just copy and paste it into the calculator (through the scientific calculator link I attached), enter in the carats for your stone, and hit "compute". Then again, if you're already brain fried, I completely understand your disinterest in working on anything else! TGIF!!!
