I have scoured previous threads to see and learn more about Mark Morrell's settings. They have been extremely helpful. Thank you. I've also communicated with Mark. With all the information I have gathered, I'm now trying to figure out what I should do. I'd ask my GF, but she wants my choice to be a surprise. All she knows is that the ring will be a solitaire. I need help and would appreciate your insights.
My GF wants to wear a straight wedding band in the future. The Sunburst can work with a straight wedding band - the rubbing would be along the doughnut and not the prongs as seen here: http://www.mwmjewelry.com/Straight_13_diamond_Band_for_Petite_SunBurst_/
I am also intrigued by a 4-prong Sunburst, but that's neither here nor there.
So, I think I like the Torchiere (http://www.mwmjewelry.com/T_M_Torchiere/) more and without the accent diamonds. However, the prongs will abrade against a straight wedding band. Not good. Thus, some options include:
1. 6-prong Torchiere with a taller doughnut (like the Sunburst). In other words, get the prongs out of the way. I don't have a picture and limited to only my imagination right now.
2. 4-prong Torchiere. Like a lot of people, I prefer the 6-prong when viewing from top and 4-prong when viewing from the side. I don't have a picture but the head would look like the one in this picture: http://www.mwmjewelry.com/D_J_2-653ct_wed_set/
3. 6-prong Torchiere original with a custom spacer. I feel that wearing a spacer is a personal decision and I should ask my GF about that.
Some relevant background: the diamond is a 7.24 mm RB and the ring size will be 6.5.
What might you do? If you have a Torchiere, what kind of band do you wear with it?
Thanks so much!
