Hello ladies & gents!

Been awhile since i last posted anything but wanted to ask for some input on attached CAD rendering. I couldn't really find any posts in regards to ring/head heights so wasn't sure what's considered low/medium/high. DK has provided CAD's and i asked to increase height to 7.5mm for a 2.6ct MRB stone. Would this be too high? Amy has confirmed it's not but it's been so long since i had my last setting made, couldn't find details on my previous setting.

Will anyone be able to assist/advise? Thanks so much in advance!

I think anything under 8.5-9 is normal/medium for a stone that size. My 2.66 ct is the same height. It will be about perfect!

sorry, another question. I didn't know what to look up but what does the hole in donut do? does that in anyway affect the stone, whether good or bad? recently upgraded my stone to ACA but it's K in color so wasn't sure if that has anything to do with the stone appearing darker/whiter.

If it’s not too much of a hassle, would you be so kind to show a photo of ring profile? I am trying to decide if I should have the height set at 7.5mm vs 8mm and couldn’t find anything on PS when searching.

Sure:) my cluster is 7.3 mm and my 3 stone (avatar) ring (2.66 ct center) is 7 mm. I just measured with my calipers!

My rings are a size 9 / 9.35. Your center will take center stage for sure!

I honestly think 7.5 mm to 8 mm for a solitaire is a sweet spot. 8.5 mm to 9 mm looks tall...

@michelles85 sorry I didn’t tag you above. The star sapphire here is an 8 mm height:) for me the prong angle on my diamond ring was important, I wanted a wide “V”... sorry I cleaned nothing before taking photos...

Thank you so much for sending me all these photos with the measurements! I now have a better idea so guess it's time to decide between 7.5 vs 8mm. Very odd that in CAD's, everything appears so bulky/high so i was a bit concerned since i don't want something too high/low. I really appreciate you taking the time to show me and providing details!

Also I see you bought a K. My K usually looks way whiter, this is awful lighting! Here is another one 5 feet away! Still not cleaned...

Looks beautiful and plenty white! I did buy k! I realize I’m not color sensitive at all and honestly couldn’t tell the difference between my previous I and this k! So I’m happy with my decision on k just wish I can hurry and decide on my setting so I can have my completed ring already! Lol
