6 prong setting with a twist?

[Laila619]

What do you think of this 6 prong setting with a unique twist?

Instead of the usual 6 prong where the prongs are at 12, two, four, six, eight and ten o'clock...these prongs are set differently, at eleven, one, three, five, seven, and nine o'clock. Do you like this version? Or is it too busy and you prefer the traditional version? I think it would make a diamond look even bigger! It's from Knox Jewelers by the way. Thanks for your thoughts!

Here''s a traditional 6 prong to compare.

I REALLY like the prongs on the first pic, but only if there are no sidestones. Otherwise it''s too busy at the shank.

ditto this,

I like the not traditional prong setting of that ring.

I love the first one for a six prong! I wonder if the usual 6 prong looks less busy because we''re used to it...

In this post, Garry states that he prefer to set stones this way, apparently it is safer.

I would like this look with single prongs but not doubles.

I just noticed my ring has prongs like the first picture, but my prongs are single and fairly thin, so it's not very obvious. Interesting!

I like the prongs offset! Its different but not out there.
