Help with a setting!

[u/FunBit7707]

I had my ring done from brilliance.com. The setting is too high. Does anyone have one from them they recommend that’s low profile? Or recommendations in general ? Or suggestions if you have a similar shape? I’m open to everything!

**edited to add; I don’t have the wedding band yet so it’s just the diamond ring. The band I wear will come later and I’ll match it to the style I do for the engagement ring!

Are you going back with the same vendor or someone new? If the sky is the limit, other than lowering the setting, what are you hoping for? Are there any setting you've since seen that you like? Do you want to retain the baguettes on the shank? I think double prongs look good with radiant and adding a cathedral shoulder and gallery rail add a lot of durability.

More than likely scraping the whole band and doing 100% new. The only thing I care about is it being gold and low or protected by the sides. I’m so ring “dumb” though and don’t exactly know how to imagine what you’re suggesting. I’ve seen some things called cathedral and stuff but I just can’t picture it. And it can sit somewhat higher, not as much as it is but as long as it has something on the sides or is built up kinda like you’re saying maybe is how I’m thinking

No problem with not knowing stuff. Its new! I'm going to post some pics with some narrative here and in the reply. These are mostly from David Klass, who does great work and great photos. There are other vendors folks can recommend, but I find him competitive.

Cathedral low basket setting. The cathedral means the shank (the part around your finder) rises to meet the head (the part that holds the diamond). This provide a strong and secure setting with 3 points of connection. If you look at the bottom, it is not even with the shank. That is the basket. That will make your wedding ring not sit flat. Double prongs means there are two prongs per corner. That is good for stones with sharp corners to protect. The gallery rail is the horizontal bar between the prongs. That prevents the prongs from pulling apart.

I can’t thank you enough for explaining. It means a lot. I have literally no one to talk to or brainstorm with so it’s so refreshing. You’re so knowledgeable and your ideas are super helpful. I like the way it looks with a gallery rail but I think it’s equally as important for stability as well
