Alright, now that I asked my custom setting questions I'm moving on to my second area of confusion.
Another person on Pricescope posted an image of this ring (thank you!) and I showed my mom's jeweler and he told me no no don't get that made, after a while the ring is going to bend, the way the v-cut of the pave is will eventually cause some stones to fall out

I've already read Leon Mege's description of various pave styles http://www.artofplatinum.com/vault/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=36 but I am still a bit confused as to which one is the sturdiest of the bunch. I am actually leaning towards having millgrain work done on the edges of the metal but would that even still be a pave? or just channeling? I want the pave to come all the way down to the 4 and 8 o'clock around the ring. I don't think I like most teeny tiny micro-pave styles because it reminds a bit of costume jewelry. Is there some kind of graph that shows real life size of each stone?
Also based on your experience which pave style is actually the sturdiest of the bunch?
Thanks again!
