I worried about that when I chose it :-s
Are you hard on jewelry? I think if you aren't doing things like playing tennis, etc. . . it should be ok.
I have a thick band that is more similar to the bottom one w/ sapphires/diamonds. It's thick is why I asked if you tried them on. I wear mine everyday but it feels bulky sometimes.

The designer is estimating that the prong side set will be about 7.3mm and the channel side set will add 1mm more, so about 8.3 in width. Was yours comfortable to wear?

I'm not hard on my ring, but I do get worried losing or breaking a diamond. I would hate to find out that one of the diamonds is suddenly missing. However, the designer said that both design are very secured.

Not sure what mine measures in width, I meant more about the thickness.

If the jeweler is sure about it, I'd personally go w/ the 1st one. I'm sure he'll be willing to make any necessary repairs, although I doubt you'll need them.

I am usually the one to say prong set. I feel like it's less metal and truly let's the stone shine on it's own. But in this case I choose the channel. I'm not sure if it's cause the prong set photo is more profiled and the channel is more of a top view but the prong set is too busy for me. Your going to have 3 layers of stones so I feel the channel is more flush and smooth and not a whole bunch of little prongs. My personal opinion.

I prefer the channel set. I´m usually not a fan, but this one though is amazing. I think it makes the ring very modern and complements the three rows of diamonds, so they will stand out more. Also you can see that it is ONE ring and not think of three rings stacked together.

I prefer prong setting as channel doesn't seem to bring out the diamonds. Once set properly, the prong setting shouldn't give you any problem. My prong diamond half eternity of 7 years which I wore daily never had a problem. I'm so excited to see an action shot of your eternity band.

Here's more pictures of the prong and channel set. Please keep in mind that these are rendered from the designer's cad drawing so they are not the actual ring. The actual ring will be custom made to one of these designs. The channel set is approx 8.3mm wide and the prong set is 1mm less, approx 7.3mm, both will be set in platinum, approx 4ctw, F-VS1:

I stay with my vote - the channel set really stands out to me as super super beautiful and elegant. The prongs in the combination above just look somehow frilly as if there is something missing. Just my opinion.
