Hi, I am a newb, but have learned a LOT over the past week and a half of reading PS and DT roughly 8 hrs a day. I swear, it''s like a fulltime job! Made easier because you guys are a great resource - based on my limited knowledge, a jeweler complimented me on being the rare informed customer because I knew some of the lingo and to ask questions. It coulda been hot air, but I''ll take what I can get.
My question pertains to the best platinum setting for a 75pt RB w/ a table of 65, depth 60 (family stone but I get to pick my setting):
1) What setting lets the stone have the most sparkle and fire?
2) What setting best protects the stone?
Are these two mutually exclusive? I am fond of bezel and semi-bezel settings and would prefer not to go with prongs if possible. Tension set is currently out because I would only feel comfortable with a Kretchmer and those are too expensive with not enough selection.
Lastly, do you think its worth getting a Mark Morrell setting for a stone that isn''t ideal cut?
Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions!
