Hi, I have a few questions. What is a euroshank band and can any setting be designed this way? Can an old ring be adjusted to have a euroshank band? What is it called when the prongs have two little prongs at each corner...for example, on a princess stone, there would be 8 prongs in all sometimes the two at each corner appearing welded together? Are there any websites that show these? What is Mike Morell''s website? I just love the beautiful MM ring that was bumped up! Thank you! |

Are there any websites that show these? Here's one by Vatche (www.dvatche.com). I'd call them 'double prongs' - although some slightly different versions are called the same (e.g. with the tip of the prong as a double claw). On Pricescope such double prongs with the tips united are sometimes called 'heart prongs' because from the top the tips of the prong lool like minuscule hearts.  Mark Morell did those on a ring too: 'Euroshank' describes those rings with the back of the band flattened. They say these are more stable onthe finger, so a high solitaire setting doesn't tip over so much. How effective this is I can't tell. These rings are somewhat harder to resize because of their shape. The euroshankmodification does not show at all when the ring is worn. Here's one euroshank ring by Mark Morell, since you mentioned: Would you mind sharing the details of the project ... what diamond, design details... you know. Is Mark going to do it ?

Thank you! Those are the prongs I was talking about, especially when paired with a U-prong. I like the idea of the euroshank, too, but would be wary of buying one without knowing how comfortable and/or effective it would be. I love Mark's work. It appears absolutely seamless. I'm not sure where I will end up buying my setting, though. My dh bought a princess cut diamond for me but all my setting shopping was causing him angst. He just wanted that thing in a ring already! So, I had it set in a very plain, basic tiffany-type setting. I'm shopping with more leisure now for more of an antique style, something more unique and feminine.Thanks for your response!
