Durable 5 stone setting?

[QueenofDiamonds33]

I'm looking at 5 stone rings for an upcoming anniversary and was hoping for opinions on a durable setting. I LOVE the Whiteflash trellis setting, but worry that I would have to baby it. My wedding set is beautiful, but delicate with pave. With 2 little ones, I find myself not wearing it as much now (plus, working from home). The 5 stone would be worn alone on a separate hand, if that matters. I really want something that I don't necessarily have to take on and off.

Any thoughts would be appreciated! I'm open to options on where to purchase, but have had excellent experience with Whiteflash in the past so leaning that way at the moment. Thank you!

Here is a fairly low 5 stone basket setting. I would probably ask them to soften the area where the shank meets the stones. Make
it more of a smoother transition vs an angled transition (but thats just me).

Hi,

I am deciding between the following 3 ring settings for a 5 stone ring (5x0.4ct) - open basket - u prong - trellis I have originally have my mind set on the classic open basket setting, because it seems that the stones are well protected and still accessible for clearning. However after...

Beside the above three, there are the following 2 settings I have also considered:
CVB Norah type of 6 prong setting:

My CVB 10 stone 3/4 eternity band

Would you consider bezel set stones? No prongs to catch on anything and can be low set so easy to wear.

I have a HPD LOW SET trellis 5 stone ring set in platinum with CBIs. I got it this fall. I worked with Layla of HPD on it. it is perfect and I don’t really baby it. IMO - if the diamonds are set low and the prongs are done right it is a perfect every day ring.

@QueenofDiamonds33, I am waiting/hoping for the 5 diamonds of my desired spec to be available. So I still have time to decide. For me it is between open basket vs u prong. Some day, I am certain I want the open basket setting, the next day, I am thinking maybe u prong, so easy to clean, and side profile is so clean and beautiful.

Let us know what you decide on!
