I am going to have to redo the prongs on my ring (again), it’s only been a few months since I had them done and one is already cracked (local jeweler said) and they are lifted a little so the stone is moving.
I’m having DK make a wedding band for me so while I have that done, I’m going to have him set my new diamond and redo the prongs. I am going to have the diamond set all the way down in the halo this time.
Would you get platinum or white gold for the prongs? Would platinum make them sturdier? Would double claw prongs be more sturdy or another type of prong? He said we may just be able to fix the existing prongs, but I’m worried that if this happened in 3 months, it will happen again? Please include pictures if you have an idea
My next dilemma is the wedding band. I’m having a bezel eternity band with fine milgrain made. I’ve considered platinum, white gold, and unplated white gold (only concern is it wouldn’t match my e ring) OR I could be super bold and do 18k yellow gold. YG is my favorite metal but I’m not sure about mixing that with my halo e ring! I was thinking that platinum would be better so that the milgrain doesn’t get flattened or messed up if I bump it on something, but I just read about platinum vs white gold and I’m more confused than ever!?
Thank you in advance for your help!!!
This is the wedding band I’m having made except the diamonds are a bit smaller!
