Is this considered "KNIFE EDGE" ???

[BSS]

When looking at this ring... would you call the outer finish on the ring "knife edge" ???

I dont think it is......

So if it isnt a "knife edge" what would you call it???


thanks

What do you mean? Knife edge can be seen from the top view only, so we have no idea if this is knife edge.

Not sure what part you are trying to identify in this picture, can you explain more?

I doubt that ring is knife edge because it appears to have stones set in the shank near the top. A knife edge band is not rounded, it comes up to a point (ridge) in the center.

Look at the lower setting in the picture:

In this picture, look where the arrows are pointing. The "edge" of the ring. I want a 90 degree angle, but more of
a rounded 90 degree.....the there IS NOT a sharp edge.

That is not a knife edge at all. Look at the link I showed you to see what "knife edge" means in regard to a setting.

The setting you have pictured looks like a Tiffany replica, but it is not the knife edge setting. It looks like it is supposed to look. Are you just using that as an example to ask about the edges or do you want a Tiffany replica set?

I am looking to have the Tiffany ring copied.
And need to tell the jeweler how to finish the edge.
Not sure if he can deliniate from the picture, what the finish is.

Are you having stones in the shank? You can''t have both..

Yes, which tiffany do you want to replicate? The setting you posted is not knife edge but a channel set band

knife edge or channel set

That setting you posted is from exceldiamonds.com, they make the best tiffany replica's IMHO....if anyone is going to make you a tiff replica I would call them

 

[Imdanny]

No.

Thank you. Now it makes sense.

You are very much welcome...I knew that would clear that right on up for you

I always thought knife edge is when it meets like a point - kind of like the roof of a house.

Why don''t you just print out those pics and take it to the jeweller

Easier than trying to explain a feature of a setting you are not really sure about. Good luck
