Is a 2.7mm 4 prong eternity setting too thick for .75 center stone?

kris30 Rough Rock Total Posts: 27 Last Post: 12/29/2006 Member Since: 12/9/2006	I loved the setting I tried on. Its .37 carat 4 prong half eternity and it sparkled like crazy. My only concern is that its 2.7mm wide and my center stone will only be .75 carat. Will the thickness and diamonds on the side take away from the center diamond? Do I need a thinner band to pull this off? I do have long fingers so the thinness of the ritani settings get lost on my finger. oh and the center stone will be set in a 6 prong sort of high setting if that makes a difference. tia!

If you like it that's what counts. Some people prefer really thin bands to high light the stone and others prefer thicker ones for a more blingy look.

I can picture a 3/4 carat diamond on it easily. .75 carat is not tiny you know. I would try to try on similarily sized settings with 3/4 carat diamonds in them to be sure you will like it
