A few days ago I asked in this forum if it''s better to present a plain diamond or set it in a temporary setting, present it to her, and then pick the final setting together.
I appreciate all the help I''ve gotten..
But talking to the jewler yesterday, there''s a twist to the "plot" that I need some advise on.
Since the diamond is a princess cut diamond, the jeweler says he doesn''t have any temporary princess settings.. and that making one takes many hours..
What he is offering to do is to set the diamond in a RB setting (4 prong) and then present it, and bring it back. The way it will be set is the prongs will not hold the corners of the diamond, but rather the 4 sides!!! He told me that the diamond will never fall out, but since the corners are exposed, the ring can only be worn temporarly for show, and not in an everyday scenario for a week before coming back to him.
So the question is, should I have him set it, or play it safe and just present the diamond in a special box, or ???
Thanks.
