Which Prongs do you prefer

[Gypsy]

Irina did these two mock ups of the setting I''m getting. Which prongs do you like better for a 6 x 6 asscher.
A) Single Talon Prongs (ala Turtle''s setting)

Or
B) Split prongs

 

[justjulia]

Split.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I love split prongs!

 

[Gypsy]

I couldn''t get the poll to work. I''m not very ept.

 

[BigDiamonds]

Another vote for split! I love that look with the steps.

 

[ladyciel]

Split

 

[Love in Bloom]

Another one for the splitsies

 

[risingsun]

Gypsy...what do you prefer?

 

[Gypsy]

I''m not sure. John likes the split prongs... and I think I may too, but I''m 100% sure.

Hmmmm. I actually dislike the split prongs in the context of that design. Harry Winston solitare: yes. Leon three stone: yes. That one: no.

Maybe it''s because the side bezels form "boxes" ... and I feel like the center stone should maintain it''s own "box" ... and NOT add unnecessary distracting busyness to the corners. The single clawish prongs seem more tranquil ... fluid ... boxy ... deco.

Split prongs but only if they are really tiny.

Ditto!!

 

[neatfreak]

I actually like the regular prongs, esp. if the asscher is only 6x6.

 

[aljdewey]

Split.

BUT.....you''re the one wearing it, so it''s really important what moves you.

 

[surfgirl]

I''d still like to see it with either a flat prong, or a flat prong with a pointed tip...

split... but I have a Q - what is the in person transition like at the edge of the last stone where it meets the shank? Is it curved or does it just drop off?

I actually agree with Deco. I love split prongs..those are my fave, but somehow the other ones work better for me with that design.

 

[Gypsy]

That''s why I need to see it in person Cehra... I don''t know the answer to that question yet.

 

[E B]

I like the regular. They match the overall design more.

 

[door knob solitaire]

Oh poo...I thought this post I could answer with one word...sorry.

There was talk about your desire or Irina had commented on removing the miligrain...Before I answer my one word reply.....can you provide your plan for the miligrain detail...to leave it or to remove it?

DKS

oh I''m sorry - for some reason I thought you''d seen it, I must not have read closely in my excitement for you LOL

 

[Madam Bijoux]

I like the split prongs for that ring.

 

[chrono]

Gypsy, just to make your life more exciting, have you considered a ribbon/flat prong?

I''m with team single claw..

 

[Lorelei]

I have a thing for split so they get my vote!

 

[Dee*Jay]

I prefer the single talon prongs.

 

[Ellen]

If it were my ring, I''d want whatever accentuates the clipped corners the best.

Out of Gypsy''s two, the split does that best imo.


However, I would definitely consider (and like to see photoshopped, hint, hint) the ribbon prongs Chrono posted.

 

[pricescope]

If you go with single prong it''s better be very... hmmm "triangle" tips - there is absolutely nothing "rounded" in this ring, everything is squarish so i would make sure prong tips are the same.

 

[pricescope]

Here Ellen, i was made in hangout''s thread and i don'' think Gypsy is still considering this.

Did anybody see a smaller asscher set with doubles but both of them NOT inside the cut-out but right OUTSIDE?

I don't care for these...they remind me of "hanging chads". (Remember the 2000 elections? LOL)

That's interesting! I'd love to see some real-life pictures of this....
