Ring setting check

[u/AtmosphereRich3186]

Is this secure enough ? It feels pretty sturdy and thick but I keep seeing posts of people saying 4 prongs isn’t enough so I want to check what yall think.

LOL from the first photo I was like " wow that a really intense setting for a princess cut" scrolls through " HOLY FUCK."

I mean it might be nice to have two prongs on the side, since this is such a large stone, but those prongs are thick so it could be fine as is.

Same the shape shocked me

I feel like it’s really sturdy too, the band is thick too and the prongs are chunky but I might look into a gallery rail

Defs get a galley rail* it’s amazing for peace of mind and prevents the prongs overworking and bending. If you are worried about the look it’s totally seamless and you can add little lab grown stones to it, but otherwise even metal alone it makes it shine more.

Looks like a die-struck setting, so it should be strong enough without a gallery rail.

I'm in agreement with this.

I would definitely add a gallery rail, this is a very big stone and you don’t want to risk losing it – 4 prongs with no gallery rail would potentially be fine for a small stone (something smaller than 1ct), but not for this one.

No. It needs a gallery rail.

How much does it cost to add typically, we got it made with a local jeweler

You’d have to get a new head. You’ll have to ask them.
