Has anyone here ever seen fishtail prongs on a large (3+ carat) round brilliant? I'm fortunate to be receiving a 3-4 carat heirloom stone, but I feel fancy shapes are more flattering on my hand and am looking to reset to make it appear less round. I am not interested in a halo or bezel-type setting.
I understand fishtail prongs are usually part of an illusion setting designed to make a stone appear larger, which would NOT be my goal here. If anything I want to make it more wearable and appear less "honking!"
A similar effect might be achieved with double claw prongs, if spaced sufficiently apart, but I am looking for something more.
Any thoughts?
