Hi!
I really wish this could be a happy post in smtb about my new ring, but I simply do not love the prongs. The center stone is 1 ct and I have been obsessively looking in the under 1ct thread to understand if four prong settings in this size always look this chunky? I have seen settings with four prongs before IRL, but with smaller RB diamonds, and I think the prongs looked smaller.
In the jewelers defense, I said I wanted a durable ring and that I was worried about only four prongs (I have only had 6 prong settings before, with nice tiny prongs, but smaller diamonds...). Also, he did say "since it is a cushion we have to have it made by hand". I guess this is all my fault for not understanding what that meant correctly. When I mentioned the prongs now that I got the ring I was told they have to be this big.
Maybe four prong settings simply don't work for me? Or maybe it is a matter of getting used to it? Please say I will get used to it. I see a reset in the future.... Eight tiny prongs?!
Any thoughts?
I am sorry I haven't got any more pictures, I had to give the ring back for sizing.
(I am also not liking how one of the prongs is just ever so slightly larger than the others.. hand made heh? oh well)
