.8 ct vs 1.0

[Sandy13351]

Planning on gettiing a solitare. Would one notice a big difference in size between a .8 ct round mounted with 6 prongs vs. a 1.0 ct round mounted with 4 prongs? Let''s assume both stones have excellent cut.

Hi Sandy

I can notice a definite difference between the two sizes when set in either style of prong. Some feel 6 prongs make the diamond look larger but its down to personal preference which you choose.
