Basically, square cuts in a channel band with a 4-pronged, round center. Not sure how I feel about the cathedral-ish part of the band. My loose is about 7.2 mm.

Thanks in advance for your expert opinion.

love everything except the blocky prongs!

Yeah, I see that. Do you think the square and round go well together, especially since the round has 4 and not 6 prongs?

That's actually my very favorite Tiffany setting, and the only one I've ever seriously considered! I love the ribbon/tab prongs - I think they balance out the proportions of the band nicely. And I adore the slight graduation as you get closer to the stone .... mm, nummy.

Love it with a re-do on the prongs!

I think it's beautiful as it is. And I don't even like rounds!

Very beautiful design, but the prongs are too chunky for me. My OEC ring has a round center stone set with four prongs with square side stones and I really like that look. Hospatogi's ring https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/avc-meets-steven-kirsch-my-ring-is-here.161350/ by Stephen Kirsch is really similar to the ring you posted. I'd contact Stephen or Leon Mege for a ring made in that style. Good luck!

I agree that the prongs are bulky and I think milgrain on the rails would look beautiful! As for rounds with squares I love this look especially with the tapering up as you reach the center stone. I understand the concern with the profile but it doesn't look too high to worry too much about knocking it around and the head really flows nicely into the the shoulders of thing ring. tsavvy had a great suggestion when she recommended Leon Mege and Stephen Kirsch. You might check out the French cuts collection for more looks similar to this ring. Also to take into account the brand name markup that comes with Tiffany pieces.

I like it - it's a nice clean, contemporary look. I do think the prongs would overwhelm a smaller stone though.

I think it's perfect as is! The ribbon prongs add to the design IMO.
