I am still trying to decide how to reset my 1.63ct diamond into a rhr. I''m leaning towards a 3 stone with my sapphire studs as side stones and am almost ready to commit to the project.
I don''t like white gold because I don''t like having to replate it and my body chemistry changes its color quickly.
Platinum is more than I want to spend now.
I like the idea of palladium for the white color and that it won''t change color but am wondering if the prongs are fragile?
Would palladim prongs hold a diamond less secure than platinum?
I remember from my first engagment diamond years ago we got gold and the jeweler insisted on a platinum head because he said it was stronger than gold and that gold could snap of or wear over time.
What about palladium for the head? Secure? As secure as platinum?
Could a palladium setting last a lifetime if well made? I''ve always been under the assumption that platinum could last a lifetime so I am wondering if palladium would hold up well over time.
And is sizing a palladium ring harder than sizing a platinum ring?
Thoughts please
