Tacori is likely getting my diamond today or tomorrow, and starting on my ring (Tacori 2578.) My dilemma is which prongs to go with!! I've attached 2 photo's on the 2578, and they seem to have different type prongs. The "arrow" style prongs in the top picture are the stock prongs. The bottom picture I just came across today on Tacori's facebook page. The prongs seem to have a "triangle" type shape.

When you are looking at the ring in person, it's probably the last thing a person notice's, but I'm just trying to get everything perfect!! Does anyone have an opinion as to which they like better?? THANKS EVERYONE! :D

I do think they are a bit bulky, I would pick the second version.
 
second option
 
I like the second as well! Only catch.....EXTRA $500 if I modify the prongs. (even if it's less metal, or less detail)
 
I'm not a fan of the first ring's prongs they are so boxy and large

Wow! That is a steep charge! So, if you want to go with option #2, it will cost you $500 more? :confused:
 
For that price, I might just consider a whole new ring altogether! Have you considered that?

I was thinking the same thing

I definitely want this ring (the 2578), but just wasn't fond of the arrow prongs. (And yes $500 for any time Tacori changes prong style....wierd!)

I've seen this ring in person, and anyone will barely even notices the prong. (even the jeweler had to double-take because he never knew)
So the prongs aren't a deal-breaker....but I'm just so picky about things.

(I know my soon-to-be-fiance' will care less lol)
 
I'd show them that 2nd picture and say you want them like that. I seriously doubt someone paid $500 extra for those prongs. That looks like a Tacori photo so I would think those prongs should be an option. You aren't trying to change them to something they haven't done before.
 
For $500, I'd ask for claw prongs. Both photos show rather bulky prongs. If you have to pay for a change, why not get something delicate but durable??

I second this thought. Delicate claw prongs would be amazing on that setting! $500 seems pricey for prongs - am I out of touch or is that normal?
 
agree, for that amount of money I would not want my diamond to be covered up with bulky prongs
 
I like the second prongs better but for that ridiculous price, I would ask for claw prongs, as the others have suggested.
 
It was a stock photo on Tacori's facebook page, but Tacori told my jeweler that was custom for someone. (and that any changes from original prongs are $500) The arrow prongs actually don't look bulky in person....but I do favor something different. What type of claw type prongs do you recommend? Any Pics??
 
I have this engagement ring and I have the first prongs. It does not look bulk in person, at all. The second prongs, actually look bulky...I have seen them in person as well. I can attach a picture of mine if you'd like. Also, I think it depends on carat size too. My center stone would look ridiculous in prongs other than what they are in now...
 
 
Hi Enerchi,
I personally prefer the arrow, or leaf-shapped prongs with this setting. If they are noticible, I think they match the delicate/vintage styling of the ring better. The triangle prongs may be better suited to match a more contemporary/simple setting. If they aren't noticible and cost significantly more, I would go with the standard ones. =)
 
I think the first prongs match the style of the ring better. Also, if you have seen it in person and you liked it...I see no reason to spend an extra $500.
