I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these things and I didn't quite have the spacing right on the 6 prong. This one is better (still not perfect, but better) I think you will see how even more round it is. When set in the real deal I think it will be stunning, and very safe and secure too!
Definitely keep us updated with what you decide!! :-)

I actually like when the prongs are set the way Tiffany sets their classic 6-prong solitaire. The one prong is in the middle of the top part of the diamond. I think it makes it look slightly "larger" that way. Do you know what I mean?

Definitely! My six prong was set that way now that I think about it. I didn't even think to photoshop it that way.
By perfectionist I just meant I needed the spacing between the prongs to be better than the first time I did it. :smile1: I'm sure it would have helped with the roundness had I done it that way too.

No, you did an excellent job! Perfect! I didn't mean to criticize it in that sense :shame:

You don't even notice it. I mean, not unless you're looking for it.
I was looking for settings and I didn't even notice that some of his settings had 5 prongs until I asked if it would be weird if I wanted 5!
Most people don't even ever think about it so it's not really odd.

I might have to go there and really stare at it and see what I think.

I say that like Ill ever get another anything again. If something happens to these I will either go to a store like Harry Winston and overpay and be done or buy a zippy car.

I love odd numbers of prongs. Here's one I might have re-made with a sapphire.
