I vote without. Reason being is that it never turns out as delicate as the cads show. If it was being done by a master that might
make it a harder decision but since its Stuller...definitely without.
I too prefer it without. Sometimes too much just looks crusty to me - too many prongs. It also makes it very difficult to wear a band with and the potential loss of stones would drive me batty!
I feel like 6 prong keeps the circular look with the 2ct stone though
No I like the six prong too! When I said too many prongs, I am talking about all the little prongs in the prongs of the Ering being too many. The six prong setting looks great though!
What are your thoughts on standard vs claw prongs?
I love it with just the top section only. As an FYI with Stuller, verify quality of the melee they are using. Their standard basic one is not good based on my experience. You can upgrade the color and clarity. I don’t know if they offer H&A/ideal cut melee - definitely ask!!!
Definitely makes sense. Should I be concerned that it’s Stuller?
No...I trust Rhino to ensure that it is a quality piece. But something like putting pave on small prongs really takes a master IMO.
I prefer claw prongs. They are a look that not all jewelers can do nicely so when they are done right its impressive (another IMO).
However, some folks prefer one over the other (there is no wrong answer).
