6 prong or 4 prong E Ring?

Realized I don't have many good pics of my reset. Here's before/6 prongs and after/4 double claws.

Can't go wrong either way. I am seriously bummed I did not get to see that bad boy in person or meet up with you!

My God, Swanky, that ring is STUNNING!!! (Understatement of the day!) :worthy:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

Depends on the size of the stone, I find 6 prongs on a smaller diamond overwhelm the diamond. 4 prongs show off more of the stone. 6 prongs on a larger diamond (a carat and a half plus) for a rounder look.

Fabulous ring, both before and after!

Would you mind telling us the stats?

Swanky, there is no justice for your ring without a thread for the reset 4 prong . You must know if tpf'er knew you were posting, we'd be all over it! Your ring deaserves a thread of its own!

Thanks everyone for the input~! It seems like the majority of you lean towards the 6 prong for a 2+ carat ring...

Swanky Mama, your ring is AMAZING~!!! I love it in both 6 prong AND 4...it's a dream ~

Thanks so much for your advice as well and your many contributions to TPF~!

4 prongs for me. I just prefer seeing less metal when looking at the diamond from the top and sides. I like seeing most of the diamond when displayed in it's setting, which is why I still haven't warmed up to Halos yet although Halo settings are still beautiful.

I like 4 prong because I find the 6 prong to have too much metal on the stone

+1

My nicest, largest diamond is in a 3-prong setting. I like living on the edge I guess.

Personally, I love the 6 prong.

I'm with everyone else here on the 6 prongs for 2+ carats... even for 1+ honestly. That story about the diamond falling out - horror! You could definitely lose one prong out of six and the diamond would be totally safe.

I have the Tiffany classic and to me that's just the most gorgeous setting, BUT they really do have subtle prongs - a well made 6 prong shouldn't smother the diamond at all. Then again I was in Cartier yesterday and their 4 prong settings TOOK MY BREATH away! Seriously so beautiful and kind of squared-off looking ... you cannot go wrong though!!
