Pointer #1: Tapering brings the thickness of the band to a thinner point at the top of the ring, making for an elegant and simplistic way to emphasize your center stone and even help it appear larger.
Pointer #2: Flush wedding bands are difficult to accommodate as your center stone increases in size. A cathedral design helps raise the profile of the ring, allowing for a thicker band and more room for a flush wedding band. Keep this in mind before selecting your wedding band.
Pointer #3: Support bars are important in maintaining the structural integrity of your ring, especially for 4 prong designs. With two less prongs to help secure your stone, the support bars provide extra strength and help minimize the risk of bending a prong and loosening your diamond.

    I like the 4-rpong, as it shows more of the diamond, and I love the more delicate, tapered cathedral engagement ring (That's my setting.); it looks like a partial basket was part of the design where the band tapers up to the diamond.

    I've recently fell in love with the 6 prong because of your channel. It does make the diamond look more round and slightly bigger, but I like it because it's different and seems like it is sturdier than the 4 prong. I'm going with a 2.7 ct center stone and I was hoping the band would sit flush, so this video really helped me out. Thanks Bonnie!

    Hi Bonnie, non tulip for me, for sure. The six prong definitely looks more round, it’s not your imagination. Although I love bigger stones, I would have to say there is nothing more classic than a high quality solitaire. I could see the quality and sparkle in these two rings you featured in this video when you showed your hands by your side. Three to three and a half carats is such a nice size, also.

    Thank you for this video on cathedral settings! Cathedral is a MUST for me but I’m not sold on tapered… it’s not as visually pleasing to me for some reason compared to non-tapered.

    My preference has always been a 6 prong vs 4 prong for a round brilliant diamond . I feel just like you , it makes it look more like a full round diamond as opposed to looking like a possible cushion cut diamond ! 6 prongs sparkles less ??? 😂😂😂 that has got to be the newest myth I’ve heard by far ! It all comes down to personal preference I think ! I have a larger diamond and I was not willing to opt for a cathedral setting , my eyes were always drawn to a non cathedral setting . Because of my choice , I will never be able to have a wedding band sit completely flush with my engagement ring but I prefer the space and it’s what worked for me ! Thanks for always sharing such great videos and beautiful diamond rings with us ! 🥰🥰

    Absolutely agree! I thought I would like 4 prongs, but I prefer 6 prongs. It feels like it enhances the round diamond shape. I feel like the 4 prong kinda makes the round diamond look a bit squarish.

    I would LOVE to see an adaptation of the 4 prong cathedral in platinum for a 3 stone cathedral ring --. I love the open V side profile of the 4 prong style. 1.5-2 ct center and 0.75-1.25 ct each side stone. 💖🤩

  • @alisa.maks26

    6 prongs definitely visually round out the stone as they create more balance, but i really love 4 prongs, as long as they are positioned on the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock points, creating a cross - that, to me, makes it look soo sophisticated and classy *chef’s kiss* and if the prongs are super pointy and sharp, that is just orgasmic 😆 what are your thoughts on 5 prongs? Not very common nowadays, more of a vintagey thing, but i’ve been kinda liking them lately.

    I don't like round or oval stones in 4 prongs as it is not aesthetically pleasing , is like a circle in a square. I prefer prongs distributed evenly around the stone or bezel or tension settings.

    White gold may become a bit yellowish over time as the rhodium plating wears off. (It can be plated again though). Whereas the platinum will remain white. Also platinum is harder and more durable. On the other hand white gold is less expensive.

    @@margaritavalcheva also platinum will scratch more easily, although it can be buffed away without losing any metal. it will form a patina over time as well. if gold scratches you lose metal. platinum is also heavier than gold on your finger. platinum doesn’t have much resell value but gold is always increasing in value.

    I know they are both round but the 6 prong really makes it look round without having to take a second look. The 4 prong almost looks like a cushion if you aren’t paying attention.
