First of all, THANK YOU AMAZING DIAMOND PEOPLE !
I lurk here a couple hours a day and am constantly impressed with everyone's knowledge and most of all their willingness to spend so much time and effort helping others ! Sometimes I want to slap people on your behalf's: "Dude, she is giving you amazing advice and trying to save you thousands and you're not even LISTENING ! " LOL
Anyway, two yrs into my marriage last fall, I suddenly became obsessed with diamonds. No clue what triggered it but it does not seem like it is abating.
I read everything I could get my hands on, mostly here, and armed with a ridiculously small amount of money set out on E-bay to get the most diamond ring for my buck. The e-ring was custom made for the original owner and just along the lines of what I would have had made for myself money allowed. Because it was so delicate ( .47 center) and Hey, 2 yrs of marriage, I should get TWO rings, lol, I decided a five stone would be my best bet for a wedding ring to get the wall of bling look. I asked a lot of questions, got a lot of pics, and while the e-ring is only EGL, all the diamonds on both rings have a lot of fire and sparkle so I got lucky ( and knew what to look for thanks again to you guys.) I mentioned it before and though it's embarrassing compared to the figures mentioned here, I'm also proud I managed to do so well and get lots of compliments. The total was $680: $380 for the e-ring, $300 for the five stone. I'm as happy as any diamond obsessed person on a budget can be 
Ok, on to the question finally. I really don't know what sort of setting/prongs I have ! My limited knowledge tells me that the e-ing center is in a V prong and I THINK the six side stones are in a high bezel ? I LOVE the scalloped look of many 5 stones, but mines setting makes it look square which works with the princess cut, but wouldn't have been my first choice. I prioritized sparkle over setting in this case.
How would you describe the rings style ( if they even have one) ?
Thanks so much, I've been curious and since I can't shop for more yet, might as well learn more ( and get a chance to talk about !) my lovely little diamonds that I DO have !
