Opinions on this setting?

[cectra79]

I''m going for something modern, and I like that the diamond is suspended and visible from avery side. The stone size is 1.8 carat.

What do you think?

I personally don''t care for it because of the prongs. They just look huge and out of place to me. But I like the shank a lot! Sorry.

Don''t be sorry! Thanks for your honest answer! I actually like the prongs. In person they seem to *pop* the center stone. I''m very surprised, but I feel kind of taken by this design. I usually prefer something alot more delicate.

I don''t like the high polish of the top of the prongs, you surely want your diamond to be the center of this ring.

They can do whatever polish I choose. Are there any other designs that are sort of like this one? I would prefer a non-tension setting actually.

Cectra, I always think: how tinier and simple the setting, how gorgeous the diamond.
That''s why for ladies, I prefer the tiffany style setting (or some Leon Mege pieces).
So I won''t hijack your thread and wish you good luck with your purchase!

I also don''t care for the prongs. . . they''re very distracting to me. I automatically focus on them, not the stone.

If you dig that, go for it!!

Thank you everyone who posted! I''ll look more and maybe find the love of my life!

If anyone has an idea, please post!

Thanks!

It''s interesting, but a little bulky... I saw some others like it too. I think I should make me like some other prong designs
I had a Claude Thibaudeau ring before but felt like it covered too much of the diamond. It was a half bezel, his simple cathedral style. I like prongs this time. lol

Thanks for suggestion! You''re most kind today!

Try Niwaka (sp?), they have some beautiful modern fluid designs.
