Hi all,
I'm dreaming up setting ideas, and I like the look of a fairly wide split shank (on an oval in particular). But I like it to look open from the sides (with skin showing) rather than seeing the metal of the basket.
I saw the CAD in this thread which explains roughly what I want (no basket showing when looking at the shanks from the side):

Is this type of structure less stable than a proper basket? E.g.

Are rings more comfortable or less comfortable with a basket? (Comfort probably varies a lot on preferences, but I think I'd still benefit with some views on this).
Not being a ring wearer, I can't imagine whether the ring will be structurally stable or whether it moves around too much if I don't have a basket, or how it feels when it's a split shank with the support looking like two bars across the top of the finger.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
