Hi guys, as you might know from old posts, Im going to have my 4 c. princess reset into a more delicate setting.
I have been to 4 master jewellers who all seem to have very nice stock, high standards & most importantly.....good quality diamonds that are cut well.
But, no one has anything for me to try on to get a feel for how the end result will look. Im a bit nervous to get my ring reset and find out too late that it is sitting too high, or the proportions look wrong etc etc.
I am also getting many different truths!!!!!
One jeweller tells me that I cant have the diamond directly on an eternity band because my diamond is too heavy and it will have a tendancy to flip to the side. ie have shoulders !!! Another jeweller tells me its no problem to have this setting???
One tells me that if I have a shared prong eb, the er will eat the prongs on the eb but who cares as you get sick of rings anyway after 5 years!!!!!!!. Another tells me that the eb will eat the prongs on the er and to not have shared prong at all.
One jeweller tells me that I should have 2 pointers on the er and eb to keep it totally delicate. Another tells me that this is way too thin to hold my diamond and to look good next to my diamond. This other jeweller tells me to have 5 pointers in the er and 9 pointers next to my stone.
Then there is the issue of me knowing that I have no design skills to tell them what to do. eg tapered shank, knife edge, flat........and I dont know a thing about how an eb sits next to the er!!!!
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Ive tried to look at as many pictures here as possible, but nothing beats trying on irl!!!!!!
And I really cant afford to make a mistake this time......so I am not rushing.
ps. my pictures are in past posts and I dont know how to transfer them.
