"Typical" dimensions of shank w/pave?

I am obsessing about the dimensions of the setting I am having custom made. (Mostly concerned about the DEPTH, not the width) It is meant to be a delicate, split shank with pave. But I feel like there is too much depth in the shank, on the CADs that I was sent. (Pictures showing dimensions attached below) I know that the various stages of pave work, and finishing that will happen between the initial casting and the finished product will shrink these dimensions a bit, but is that going to be by .02mm or 1.0mm?? I want the ring to be relatively low profile but not so delicate it breaks or warps. And most importantly, I want the ratio of visible pave to metal shank to be visually appealing. So,:

What are the "typical" dimensions of settings with pave? Specifically the shank portion.

It looks like the shank is only 2mm deep. You really don't want it any less than that where there is pave or you're risking structural integrity issues.
