Hello all!
I've spent the better part of my day scouring the internet for the perfect setting. It took a while to narrow down what exactly I was looking for, what precisely about certain rings I was inexplicably drawn to. I've found that I love narrow shanks (1.8 to 2.2 mm), even thickness of the shank all 'round the ring, little metal showing, 7 o clock to 5 o clock pave on the band, and a simple four prong head.
I came across this thread on the forum:

and fell in love. The price points were perfect, the pave and prongs spot on. I was in heaven!

Through more research on this forum, however, it seems that this ring has a problem with diamonds on the band falling out, which is why GOG and IDJ no longer carry the setting. I was crushed to come so close to what I was looking for in a seemingly perfect package.
I took a look at BGD's Fishtail Pave with Truth Head but wasn't keen on the way the head joined the band. The Novela came close, but the donut at the base felt a little too bulky. I'm really into clean and smooth lines, lol.
In a similar vein, how durable is a head that is attached to the shank the way the Gabriel ring is versus the Novela? I'd think that the Novela head would be more sturdy as it's integrated into the band, where the Gabriel seems to be perched atop the ring. But, I defer to the wisdom of PSers!
Short of going a custom route, is there another similar setting out there?
Thank you!
