I am putting a 2.5 round carat diamond in the center and was wondering if anyone knew what the width of the (shank) setting/band was. I have been heargin between 2.5-3mm. Do you think that will look good and what will look better with the 2.5 carat center stone--either 2.5 mm or 3mm. Also, my ring size is a 5. Thanks in advance for your hlep! Julie

Pearlmans has pretty good detailed descriptions of michael b on their site so might want to check there too. I think a 2.5 carat round would be stunning in that setting no matter which width of the band.. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

One is called has the word "Petit" in it and it is the thinner version of the regular 3 sided setting. I have the Petite version with a 1.20 carat radiant and it looks great. I remember when I got my ring that I did notice a difference from the "regular" 3 sided that I tried on versus the "petit" version that I actually got. I think there are some guidelines from Michael B as to which size stones go in which version. Your 2.5 carat will look fabulous in either setting. From Pearlman's website: Item: 48P1 - This petite platinum 3-sided princess pave ring with diamond prongs and tips is designed by Michael B. This elegant ring is set with 171 diamonds at 1.20cts. and is 2.2mm wide. Item: 42P1 - Platinum Michael B 3 sided pave with diamond prongs for square diamonds. The 2.5mm width is set with 153 diamonds weighing 1.44ct

Your total width for both rings then would be 4.4 or 5 depending on whether you go with the petit or regular princess version. That would be something to think about. There were a lot of posts awhile back about 2 3--sided pave rings rubbing against each other. I haven't had any problems yet but you might want to go back and read some of those posts or ask your jeweler about it.
