Working on an oval 5-stone ring, very low set, as streamlined as possible. Had initially asked for shared prong and was thinking tapered claw but open to considering most things.
First CAD has come back - have already decided to change to open baskets rather than closed. Aart from that I'm happy with all aspects except just not sure what prongs like this look like IRL! They don't look quite like the usual split prong?
Jeweller chose these because he reckons "they look better" but is happy to change to whatever I want. I'm not opposed to the ones in the CAD, just haven't seen real-life examples before. They look tiny and unobtrusive in the drawings which I know will be even more so when the ring is made, and the edges won't be square as they appear when the ring is finished and polished. He knows I want everything curved and streamlined.
