Hi everyone,
Brian has made a wax of a ring which he thinks will be pleasing to me, he said it sits lower than the u prong I initially had and will wrap around my fingers better.
I've decided to keep the .40 stones, and wanted a setting in which the stones curved better around the fingers, and I also liked the scalloped look of the stones in Sox's and Bliss's 5 stone setting.
Anyways! Thoughts on the below, please, and thank you!!!
I spoke to Brian - and we will decide what to do with the ring once it is returned back to him.
However, he did stress to me that a 5 stone ring in a shared prong setting may not be as secure and offer as much protection as other settings. Soxfan, and for those who have the 5 stone in a shared prong, do you feel that the stones are very secure, especially concerning the girdle?
Thanks Simone. Your opinion means a lot! Do you think the setting will give me that scalloped look that I like? Anything I should ask him to change or specify before I give him the all clear to proceed with the ring?!
Thanks, Sox, but what do you mean about pinched in prongs and how do I describe it to Brian! Do you think the wax setting he has made resembles yours?
And not to sound like a total novice, but can someone please explain to me while having a lower setting would help for the stones to wrap around the finger better?

Here is a photo of the top of the ring.
Thoughts?!
Thank you for the advice.
Simone, you have been so helpful in all of this.... would you keep it as 3mm or reduce to 2.8 or 2.5?
I think that looks lovely from the top and is noticeably tighter/more curved to your finger than the first iterations. But you don’t sound happy? Is it just the thinness at the back that’s bothering you, or is the knife-edge uncomfortable? The band at the back looks deep enough to compensate for being fairly thin in width.
