New diamond - need prong help

[laurenk]

Hello! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. After many years I have found my new love and he has purchased an oval diamond ring. I’m wanting to change the prongs to claws to best expose the diamond and have a more aesthetic feel. I’m still waiting on the cert for the details as I know everyone loves this info! But it’s a circa 2.5 carat oval vs1 and I’ll update once I get the cert! Would love feedback please! This is the ring in my finger but the centre stone is still loose so that’s why it may appear wonky

Hi! Long time no see but you come back with a bang!! Congrats on your engagement and this beautiful ring! The diamond looks huge and I really like the setting with the side diamonds as well. I think delicate claw prongs would go really well with this stone!

Thank you so much! It’s just been to our jeweller and has come back at 3.84 carat oval, vs1 and F colour. I am in love with it. I love the tiny side diamonds too. The jeweller feels claws will simply not be safe enough to keep a stone this size totally secure. It’s loose in the pics above (just resting in the setting) so will probably have to keep the current prongs but might finesse them a little! He has done well!

Congratulations on the engagement and the honker of a ring!! I feel like you could probably swing it with 6 claw prongs, I wouldn’t want just 4 prongs on such a large stone

Wow - it is quite the diamond! I am sure the jeweler will work with you to find something aesthetically pleasing to you while keeping the diamond safe. Would love to see more hand shots when it is complete!

Hi @laurenk, it's good to hear from you and to see this great news! What a big and beautiful diamond! I think the jeweler is right and I'm sure he can shape the prongs in a way that looks nice while keeping the stone secure. Congratulations and please come back with pics once it's set!

Update ! Still not officially “on my finger” but reset! Our jeweller was very nervous about changing the prongs due to the size of the centre stone. I am going to update more detailed specs once I receive them. It truly feels magnificent on my hand! The pic showing some fluroescent - unsure about that, but was taken inside.

It's stunning @laurenk! Looks so beautiful on your hand, please come back with more pics once it's officially yours!
