Thanks for everyone’s help with my stud request recently. I will post the results when I have them!
In the meantime – I’ve been talking to Luann at IDJ about a 9 stone, 12 point ring size 6. (I’m having my first baby this year so I decided it’s time to get things I’ve always wanted for myself before I have ‘other’ things to have to consider. Last days of thinking of myself first!
).
So I’m really struggling deciding on the setting. In fact I’m driving myself crazy!
I went into a local B&M store to try on styles to check. I was originally going to get a 7 stone with .15points but found the slightly smaller and more stones worked better for me. In store they only had a prong setting (each stone having its own prongs) or a shared prong setting. Both with a little airline under each stone (which IDJ don’t do but they said they could). I quite like this setting and preferred the prong setting with individual prongs. However I’ve not been able to try on a Uprong setting and they just look so gorgeous on here. They sit low which looks great. But I’m worried about either losing or chipping a stone.
I asked Luann and she said that the U prong is pretty and shows more stone. Prong with an airline sits quite high. As I didn’t measure the height in the B&M I don’t know if her idea of ‘high’ is higher than what I tried so it’s not really helping me that much unfortunately.
I honestly don’t know what to do! Any advice about prongs vs uprong would be amazing. How it looks and the durability... I plan to wear the ring on its own or with other bands, so it wouldn’t be with my solitaire.
Thanks lovelies.

Melbournegirl! What is the update? did you end up ordering a 9x .12 point ring from IDJ? I love mine! I'm always so amazed by how it shines in the sun. This ring is probably one of my top 2 rings that I favour the most!!!
