Hi everyone,
I need help deciding what to change my setting to...something that is not going to cost us a large sum of money and something that is going to show off my diamond more. I made this decision because I am having trouble finding a wedding band that fits with my current setting. I have decided on getting a plain wedding band for now, but need to change the setting before I buy the wedding band. We would like to stay under $500.00 for both if possible. Both will be 14 K white gold.
I have an X prong setting now, and like it, but as I said am having a hard time getting any wedding bands to fit next to it the way I would like them to. I am also not very pleased that my current setting hides a lot of my diamond and would like to put it into a setting that shows it off more. My diamond is a 1.13 carat, G color, eye clean SI2 Eighternity and my fiance and I feel that the X prong is hiding too much of it. Our only concern is that other settings may not be as protective of the diamond as the X prong is. It is great as far as protecting the diamond, but does not do the diamond justice in our opinion. To give you a better idea of the setting I have, take a look at the X prong on the Whiteflash website. The one that I have actually covers more of the diamond at the girdle, so it is almost a modified bezel setting in my opinion. The only portions of the diamond you see is the top of it, a bit of the girdle, and the culet.
Send me your thoughts and ideas...please! Thanks!
