Hi everyone! I’m hoping you can share your wisdom with me! I just received my 10 year anniversary upgrade and I am still on cloud 9.
We went with Blue Nile again (#10yearchallenge, eh?) and I am extremely happy with this ring. During the shopping process, hubby and I picked the most basic 14k setting knowing that I would want to upgrade it down the line. Perhaps 3-row pave, perhaps double claw prongs....and for sure Platinum.
Anyways, the ring arrived and I absolutely love the setting style:
- It looks sturdy
- love the tapered knife look that’s not overly sharp (important to me)
- I love the basket and setting height
What I don’t love: the bubble-like prong gripping the stone and that it’s 14k.
I’m on the hunt for an really good dupe of this setting from a jeweler who will understand my wish (and understand the beauty) for pointy claw prongs (I’ve chosen to go with single).
I’ve spoken to local jewelers and they’re set in their ways with, “these rounded ones are sturdy, you wouldn’t want those pointy things...”
Thank you for any leads or help!
