I am getting an engagement ring and visited the exclusive harry winston "salon" on 5th avenue this weekend and saw a pretty setting with 4 tapered double prongs (it had side stones but I prefer a single diamond). what I liked in particular about this was that each "half-prong" was really thin and elegantly shaped -- I''ve looked on the web for photos of other double-pronged seetings and I haven''t seen any that taper the way these did. I was previously trying to decide simply between 4- and 6-pronged standard tiffany solitaire settings, but this one seemed intriguing. if I don''t want to pay a huge premium to mr. winston and co. to buy the ring there, is there any way to copy it or at least come close? the diamond guy I''ve been working with says that the person who will do the setting for me is doing it by hand and can make anything so long as I can give him a photo or accurately describe it. does anyone know what this particular setting is called? is it a "signature" style for harry winston? is it easy/feasible to replicate?
thanks!
