Rivière usually have less number of diamonds than line because of the spacing of the setting. I choose rivière because that's the look I prefer for the 8tcw+, but if I was going 4-6tcw I like the line best. Mine will be G/H SI but we did talk about going down to I/J because I'm going yellow gold but the difference in price wasn't that great. I don't think you will see a visual difference between 14 and 18K white gold, especially after it's been plated. I've spoken to jewellers before and they recommend not to set in platinum because of the weight of the metal. :heart:

Are there any pros or cons to getting a riviere vs all the stones the same size? I wonder if one tends to lay better than the other.
Also for a necklace, I would love to know what color/clarity is the best to go for with nice quality but not completely breaking the bank. And I definitely want white gold or platinum. If white gold does 14k vs 18k make a big difference in look? For yellow gold, I always go for 18k or higher as I love the very yellow look but seems like for white gold with rhodium plate that that wouldn't matter.
@Megs please let me know if this is best for a new thread and you just want to see pix in this one. :)xoxo

I keep reading that G/H SI is sparkly and eye clean. I was originally going to do yg but I’m back to wg. I predominantly wear yg but I do prefer diamonds set in platinum or wg.

How many carats are you thinking? I think we can post pics and chat! It’s fun to bounce ideas off each other.

Thanks for the info! I was first thinking riviere but now I think I'm going to do the line style as I feel it looks a bit more casual. I want to be able to wear it all the time vs special occasions. For that reason I think I'll go about 5 carats...I'm leaning toward a 16" but would like a one inch extender for some flexibility. :)

Just some input here, the necklace looks beautiful, however I might go smaller if I want a casual every day wear.
** I’m so happy you started this thread, I’m about to make the same purchase and was on the fence about three or four prong as well

@GucciGirl what specs are you thinking? Do you feel 5tcw is a more appropriate size for everyday? Or smaller? Thanks for input

Oh, BTW that G and SI is exactly what my jeweler recommended (for high quality but not breaking the bank) so nice to have a consensus!
