Need advice on side stones!

[stepcutgirl]

I have CAD''s...not sure if I want 3 prong martini sides or 4 prong like shown. It''s kind of a big deal to ask for CAD''s showing martini set sides because the entire ring would have to be changed. I just can''t make up my mind! Help!

Picture of martini set sides.

I like the martini sides, because they just seem to flow into the shape of the band and highlight the gorgeous center stone.

Martini prongs if you have the band taper in toward the head like the one shown, but 4-prongs if your band is the same width throughout.

Martini!

Yeah, i''m going martini on this too, although I prematurely voted for 4 prong - didn''t realize how much i would love the martini setting

Martini too

Certainly martini for me, unless you prefer to go for the ''squarish'' symmetrical feel.

^I agree.

Thanks everyone! I did end up asking for martini sides last night. I do have a tapered band with it.

My vote is late but I voted the martinis too because it flows better and goes well with the tapered shank.

I should clarify that I asked to see CAD''s so I could directly compare styles side by side. I haven''t made a 100% decision on it.

 

[violet3]

ooooh, i can''t wait to see your new CADs

 

[Stone Hunter]

WOW that''s going to be just drool worthy!! Tapered band = martini sides. Please show us the cads when you get them!

 

[stepcutgirl]

Thanks! I can''t wait to see them myself!

That''s so exciting stepcutgirl!
