Can I pls get your thoughts on my new ring?

I'm sending this off to Victor!

I was about to write something very similar !

It seems obvious that VC introduced an uncommon version of the common V-prong usually holding the tips of pears. The V-tip tries to make itself dissapear from view, by having slight, narrow V branches extending somewhat further upward along the girdle (AOP variant); the VC v-notched balls are simply trying to be cutely rounded & natural extensions of the shank ... which does appear in profile, but not in top-down view.

I'd vote for smaller V-notched balls - i.e. a refinement of the VC design, rather than defaulting on the common V-tip ... which never looked subtle to me. [on bullets - yes ... since the V's arms are a natural parallel to the V-shaped tip of the stones, & a natural end-point at the corners where these facets end, while the pear's contour offers no such features]

Ohhh, you are the BOMB, @ILikeShiny !! Thank you so much for your help - I'm sending this off to Victor!

Great! Glad it helped

BTW.

But, pears can also be set with only claw prongs ? Or only seven caraters ? WWW

I think that ring is so beautiful. The flow on it just feels right.

Here is the pear with the three stone. I think the tip is a little more distinctive. I can clearly see the outline of the V of the metal. The way he made yours is more rounded. This makes my eye focus more on the stones, the three stones, which seem suspended between the metal sides. Is this what you prefer?

Is this closer to what you want?

Hi @LLJsmom That's the ring I used to describe to him what I don't want - just in that I don't want any sharp edges or angles, and I'm not looking for that very angular step-down.

On the other hand - YES - re the round with pears you linked. That's much closer to what I want. Victor said he's going to shave down the tips. I hope this works; there won't be anything left to modify if I dislike it at that point!
