20%? 30%? 40%? 50/50? . My guess 30% would be norm on a $10k ring?. I'm sure it would be < % if you are sporting a $50k+ diamond.

Mine was just the opposite. I picked out the stone and told the jeweler I wanted a plat setting with two baguettes. I paid no attention to the cost or design or even the proportions. My jeweler was fabulous and it was just right. Same with wedding band-it is plat and the same width as my ER.130%ish My setting cost me than my diamond .I was determined to get a platinum wedding wedding ring, so got a ering in platinum to match. The diamond was an afterthought :p
I got you beat. mine cost < 1%. I'm not gonna spent $5k on a PT tension setting since I may upgrade the size in the future. I'm too cheap when it comes to settings. I'd prefer to put the extra $$$ into the stone.3% on the setting for me.
(Bubbalah's) setting is being lent to me by the very gracious and lovely vendor. So the percent of the setting to diamond has yet to be determined since the final setting is yet to be determined.
I like to put all my $$$ into the stone for sure!I got you beat. mine cost < 1%. I'm not gonna spent $5k on a PT tension setting since I may upgrade the size in the future. I'm too cheap when it comes to settings. I'd prefer to put the extra $$$ into the stone.
Hummm, I'm surprised that many of the gals here spent < 10% on their setting. It seems like there are so many fancy PT/diamond settings posted on SMTB threads.
