I agree that it looks a bit higher than is typical. But some people do like it that way. I am having the opposite problem. I got a new diamond and head for my existing engagement ring and it was set too low so waiting for that to be re-done.
Not sure if I should start a new thread but I was hoping someone could speak to the Legato head.
Do the points on the swoop, curve, w etc. sit flush to the diamond? Or is there a gap between?
I have looked at about every picture I can find and I think it does sit flush but I wanted to confirm. I love the look of the Legato but I’m not sure if it will bother me if the points don’t sit flush....
Way too high for my own preference, however, I am not the one who would be wearing it.

I agree! I switched to the Legato head which I think is very pretty. I’m now just doubting if it’s too fancy for me? I’m very simple in my jewelry.

Hi @WDWDiamond - I have the legato setting. I switched to a six prong setting when I upgraded again. It’s just sitting in my jewelry box empty. The legato is simple and beautiful. It’s not “too fancy”. I honestly can’t remember though if the curved part was flushed against the Diamond but I remember no issues with keeping the diamond clean. Hope this helps. Congrats, btw.
@sledge yes, this does make a lot of sense. Thank you for sketching that up. I’m guessing that there will probably be a small gap but it sounds like that is actually beneficial.
It’s me again!
WF asked if we would like the diamond set in the Legato head as low as possible leaving little to no space between the diamond and the head. Is this what y’all would recommend? I literally have no idea.
I think the picture of the Legato head you included in post #13 of this thread shows the diamond being set at an aesthetically pleasing as well as practical height. I would stick with that.
There is such a thing as a diamond being set too low in my opinion. I am waiting for my e-ring reset to be redone because the diamond was set too low. I wanted the culet of the diamond to only be a teeny bit below the top of the shank shoulders so that the diamond doesn't look "shoved" into the shank of the ring itself. Your diamond couldn't be set this low because your shank doesn't have the "thickened" shoulders.
Are these pictures your reset you are waiting on them to fix?
