Tiffany 6-prong setting information please?

[lil_jay78]

Hey guys,

I need a little more help on some Tiffany settings. I''m planning to walk into a few B&M''s today to get some different styles of 6 prong heads. But can you guru''s tell me the different types of heads you can get for a 6-prong classical tiffany? I like Jade''s, but I don''t know what any of the heads are called...I kinda want to know all the different styles of heads before I can make my selection.

I really like this one cuz the band is smooth all the way around...but I''m not sure exactly what the head looks like...

I dunno, but here is my fav 6-prong setting:

I did not see any baskets nearly as nice as this one or the one you posted at my local B&M.

most six prongs are variations on the classic Tiffany style (other than the Royal Crown, and six prong basket.) some are improvements on the Tiffany. it just takes a good smith to make a nice product. the chances of having a graceful look seems to go up with the size of the stone.
