I’ve been posting recently about having DK make me a new Tiffany style solitaire. I’m on my 2nd CAD for the new design (I requested the stone higher, as it was low)
My main two changes for the new ring from my current Tiffany style ring are:
1. the stone set a little higher since my current one was set quite low (along with a slightly more delicate head / prongs)
2. I also requested more shank thickness/depth (not width) so that it would stick out more, to meet up or extend beyond the eternity band he’s also making, or other future bands
My questions are:
1. Do I want the stone even higher? There isn’t a huge difference between the height of my current ring (6.94mm) and the new design (7.12mm). **I can see that my donut is wider and higher than the ones in photos of actual Tiffany solitaires and other repros, so I’m pretty sure that’s part of the reason why - the prongs on mine start out wide at the base vs narrower so it will automatically sit lower, right?
Should I request again to shrink the donut height and/or width to get the stone set higher in the head? Or is this bit of difference enough of a change for going from a low to medium height?
I’m partly nervous about a big difference as I have mostly loved my low-set ring, but on the other hand, I’m having a brand new ring made - specifically so that it will be a different setting height, and then it should pair better with bands (which has been an issue)
2. The thickness (not width) shows 2mm deep at the bottom of the shank on the new ring, while my current one is 1.6mm. Not sure what the changes are like at the sides between the fingers, the measurements aren’t provided. I asked for them and he did say the measurements will change/go down after polishing. But if it doesn’t change much after polishing is that difference in the depth/thickness going to be too uncomfortable, too much of a change from my original ring?
Greatly appreciate any help and expertise!!
Here’s the scan he got of my current ring when I sent it in (not the original cad)
And here’s the cad for the new design
This is a comparison of my donut size with one of a Tiffany (with a similar size stone)
Here’s a photo showing why I requested more depth /thickness for the shank, to meet better with the depth of bands
Finally here’s a photo of my low set current ring vs a Tiffany with similar size diamond
