Hi everyone. I posted last week about my Whiteflash setting not exactly turning out the way it looked on the website photos.
Here's my original post:

Today, they sent me photos of the new setting. What are your thoughts?


Mine are, firstly they made the band thicker, which I was not happy with, especially since I had written them specific instructions NOT to increase the band/shank width since it was already perfect as is. I have already contacted them about this and they said they can easily fix it by tomorrow.
The head/prongs seem to look a bit better, although in my opinion, still not how it is depicted in all of the other diamonds set in the setting on their website.
In my opinion, the prongs seem to "bow out" or curve outward and then back inward. I would've preferred the prongs be straighter like I had seen in all of the online images but they told me since my diamond is bigger (1.5 ct) that the prongs must bow out that way, because of the smaller donut. Otherwise, I would need a bigger donut to have strainer prongs, like in the original ring I was sent. What are your thoughts??
Here is the link to the setting. The closet sized diamond featured in the pics is 1.23 ct and it doesn't have prongs that bow out.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
