Agape,
What style did you end up choosing for your engagement ring? Do you have a picture?
I think I'm going nuts looking at these rings.... makes me want to finally be able to call him my forever one and only... I hope he chooses something soon!

She said a diamond that''s set right won''t let the prongs collect ''fuzzies.'' Is that true? It seems I''m forever collecting lent on my other ring with prongs...
From my experience, my new settings always collect fuzz. I think after you wear it awhile it gets better. My new one is presently a good fuzz collector
She also said that the cathederal setting will help me avoid banging my diamond around too much, because the build up of the band on the sides will be able to cushion the blow a little more. Is that true?
As I said before, my new one is cathedral, and I am finding this is true. It is set in such a way there is no way I can bang the stone into anything.
She also said that if I''m concerned with the prongs bending or not holding the diamond well, with relation to the rough treatment I tend to give rings, that it may be best to get not only 6 prongs on the head, but to consider a platinum head on the white gold ring.
Definately go with the 6 prongs, I would not go with anything less, I wanted it as secure as it could be.
As for the platinum part, I have read on here that plat bends if tested and gold breaks. I got gold, because I had as many prongs as possible, it would not really matter, if one broke the others would securely hold the stone.
