Help with deciding on prong tips for EC 3 stone ring please

[springsparkle]

I am working with David Klass on a platinum three stone ring for my 3.54 GVS2 lab EC. I am happy with the final CAD and now thinking about prong tips for the center stone. Which would look best- single claws, double claws or flat tab prongs tips?

If you don't have a preference, I would ask for David's opinion to see what he prefers esthetically.

I have double claws on my EC. I like the look, and so far I haven't snagged anything with them. I sometimes wish I went with tab prongs though because I like the cleaner look.

Double claws that are sharp and have space between to admire the angle of the corners.

I’m working with DK on an emerald 3 stone ring too (for a lab sapphire) so I totally get you on this question…it’s a tough choice. I decided on double claw prongs for the center. I asked for them to be between the corner facets like the pics below so I could appreciate the shape of the corners.

I like tab prongs a lot. Especially with the style of your cad.

I know claws are integral to a setting, but on diamonds I don't want to feature them. I would go with single claws. Or, if you go with double on the center stone, can you do single on the side stones, or is that a "no-no". I think doubles on the smaller stones are too much.

The baguettes on the sides are bezeled- does that change your opinion? I do like the look of single claw side stones and double claw center when there is no bezeling!

I'm generally a fan of double claw prongs for emerald cuts. However, in this case I think tab prongs will look better with the bezeled side baguettes.

Agreed with @lulu_ma
