You might want to give all the specs and where you got it!

This place has made me quite fond of six prong settings. Previously, I thought I didn't like them.
I am waiting on drawings for a bezel setting and I am worried this has pushed me over the edge towards switching to prongs.
Tell me more about going back to tab from claw. My stone is 1.8, so the size you upgraded from. Do you think it is ultimately personal preference, or do think one makes the stone look smaller over the other? (Upgrading to 2.2 would not be an option for me, but I love your problem-solving skills.)
Do you feel the donut looks more even this time?
Your ring is absolutely stunning! I love it!

Hi there, a bezel would be beautiful! Which setting are you getting? Would love to see the drawings or some inspiration photos
I am a big fan of six prongs (vs four). Something about the symmetry and how the prongs help keep the stone's round look.
Re: switching from claw to tabbed prongs...... To be honest, I'm not sure if they actually did tabbed prongs like I asked? To me, they still look slightly pointed. Maybe someone familiar with Vatche can chime in. I was expecting the prongs on my new ring to be more rounded, but I still love how they look (regardless of whether these are considered tabbed or clawed). I think you are right, that the whole claw vs tab debate probably comes down to personal preference. I don't think either style would have much of an impact on making the stone look smaller. Keep in mind most of the photos we see here on PS are super up-close... so everything is magnified more than real life. I think the only time they would impact the visual size of a stone is if the prongs are too large or blobby.
And re: the donut.... They actually didn't change the donut (just the head), so I can still see that it isn't completely even, but it doesn't bother me since the prongs look more even this time around.
Hope this helps!
