Memberbpositive : I actually told the jeweller I don’t want much of a gap so perhaps he will make sure it will sit properly in the basket and I’m worrying for nothing? I was also told the CAD isn’t exact and that when he sets the stone we will further discuss
Hostesslegallyblondebarbie : I wouldn’t put so much faith in your jeweller when the CAD looks like that. IMO that’s what they’re showing you, that’s probably what you’re going to get. Raise any concerns with them before they set the stone.

My diamond is set high and I like it that way. Most people dont like it but I do. I like it because it is different then other rings and my band sits flush. I cam always have it lowered If one day I decide I hate it.
MemberI think a setting that high witha 1.4 ct will look tacky. Whenever I see a big gap between the bottom of the stone and the setting I think the designer was just trying to compensate for a small stone or too lazy to make the prongs fit the stone. Plus it’ll be very vulnerable to catching on things.
MemberI have a question…if there is space between the bottom of the diamond and the setting, can a jeweler simply lower it in the same head/prongs or do they have to change out the whole thing?
Memberscigirm222 : Thank you for posting this pic! It is so beautiful! Exactly what I want. May I ask how many carats your diamond is?
baileybagels : I actually told them I don’t want much of a gap. They told me the CAD isn’t exact and they will make the gap smaller
louisianagirl : I wonder the same thing! If it can still be easily changed I would be a lot less anxious lol
Memberlegallyblondebarbie : My diamond 1.26 ct. It can be set lower at any time. Mine is also just a head on a band so may be different. My old head was low set and I felt like it always looked squatty and common. I like the floating diamond look but that is me. Honestly, no one in real life will ever question your diamond hieght. Sometimes I have jewelers ask me why it is so high and I say I like it and that is all.
