Hi all,
I'm trying to educate myself on baskets. At some point, I plan to upgrade my center stone to something in the 2.5-3.5 ct range (round). I haven't decided if I want a solitaire setting or something with diamonds around the band yet.
I've noticed different style of baskets and I'm trying to figure out what I like best, what will be most durable, what will support the stone best etc.
Some pics of bands I've seen online. I'm just looking at the different basket styles here (not the 4 vs 6 prong part--like how the basket attaches to the band). Not sure of the correct terminology. Any help is appreciated, TIA.
