I really love pave baskets, and have incorporated that into my setting. I just got the renderings from the jeweler, and was surprised to see that the basket looks low - like it's going to touch the top of the shank. Thought that might be kinda funny looking. But then, I did a quick PS search, and it looks like other rings - e.g. the Ritani endless love - have a pave basket that sits low like that. So - I'm looking for opinions. Basket sitting higher, or basket sitting lower? I'm attaching visual aids: the renderings from my jeweler, as well as an example of a higher basket (Slammie) and an example of a lower basket (Ritani).

ETA oh, and the trade-of of a higher donut (which is able to accommodate mote melee and is very attractive because it's more visible too) is that it covers more diamond's side than the lower one.

I tend to like lower settings in general. The lower basket 'appears' to be set lower. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you judge people, you have no time to love them ~Mother Teresa
