Can you look at this petite cathedral solitaire setting?

[Christa H]

Hello!

I’m looking at this setting and I’m curious if the the part I’ve marked yellow (which doesn’t connect to anything) is a problem? Anyone with a setting like this have issues with that part getting caught on anything or in your hair? Appreciate your thoughts. It will hold a 1.10 carat round.

Thanks!

I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s supposed to be. I have two rings like this. They’re called “peg heads.” So, when you get a bigger diamond (gasp!!) you can just pop in a new head. Shouldn’t catch hair, etc., as the space is wider than a hair.

No, it is not supposed to connect to anything, nor does it snag/catch.

Like others have said, it shouldn’t catch on anything. I like it when those arms connect to something so I’m just going to throw this one out there for you but feel free to ignore: https://www.bluenile.com/build-your...aire-ring-platinum_7836?diamondSku=LD17268143

Here’s a similar version at JA and they do nicer prong work, especially if you ask for petite claw prongs.

The smooth lines of this setting create a stunning silhouette for the center diamond or gemstone of your choice. The width allows her to create a stunning wedding set that showcases her personal style.

I also prefer when the "arms" attach to the basket.

However, if you are looking for a peg-head so you can upgrade in size "attached arms" wont work. So I guess it depends on what
your priorities are.

I think it’s much more attractive and practical when the arms connect to something.
