Six prong yellow gold solitaire advice

[Andrew Buchan]

Howdy. I'm having a hard time finding the ring that I am looking for for a 1.3 carat stone - which is:

- 18k yellow gold band
- white gold or platinum prongs that at delicate and don't overwhelm the stone
- narrow band (1.5-1.8 mm)
- flush with the wedding band if possible

Something like these but with a narrower band..

Any ideas??

May I suggest CvB Jovyn solitare? I think it has everything you're looking for and Caysie is extremely flexible.

JA prices are amazing with the sale. The width you mention is pretty arbitrary - have you tried them on at various widths?

Stuller crown solitaire is on the narrow side if you like that style.

Please don't get a shank less than 1.8mm, and I'd strongly recommend 2mm. Gold wears away over time, and you don't want to start out too thin. My original ring was gold and thin, and it was only about a millimeter at the base of the shank by the time I ended up getting a new ring after 25 or so years.

Where is the stone? Do you already have it or is it at James Allen?

If you're looking for a Tiffany-like setting, Vatché u113 is a good one. But that CVB setting is really nice, good suggestion @BFftw
@diamondseeker2006 is right about shank width. I had a gold shank on a ring that tapered at the bottom, and it just snapped as I was going down the stairs. This was after roughly 20 years of wear and it had become really thin.
