U-Prong or Shared Prong Eternity?

[scarlet16]

It's been a LONG time since I posted on Pricescope, but always lurk. With all the GORGEOUS eternity bands I've seen on here in the past year (i.e., LALove, Bliss), I knew that's exactly what I wanted to get for my 30th birthday.

I've been working with Tami at ID Jewelry (who has been such a doll) and I've decided on .20 stones for sure. But I tried both a u-prong and the shared prong on today and am a little stumped. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the u-prong looks, but is there a reason why most people have the shared prong? Is it more durable? Does anyone have the u-prong from IDJ? If you do have the u-prong, how high do you have the stones set/how high is the setting? I'm stuck between comfort and having it look as big as possible such a Pricescoper)!

If it helps any, I don't work with my hands per se, but I do use a computer pretty much all day.

Thanks in advance!

I have a uprong, which I definatly prefer over the shared prong. I like the curviness of it. It is very low profile and I love how much you can see the side of the stones.

Hope that helps

Great post! I wonder about the same thing too. I love how the U prong looks but I want to know why people prefer the shared prongs over the U prongs.

Scarlet - Are you considering a full eternity or half?

It will be a full eternity!

I ordered a u-prong today (medium height). It should be ready in about 2 weeks! Will keep you all updated!

And woohoo Miss Bliss, I think I just missed you this morning! I would have LOVED to have seen the inspiration for my new eternity in person!!!
