More diamond, less metal.

I am destroyer of all things nice, so I got a bezel set to keep it safe. If I had to choose, I would go with what @oliviaoblivia: has to keep it as safe and secure as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668633 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:51:36 +0000 dolphin 1668633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668599 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:41:42 +0000 Alivoo01 1668599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a round cut, 6!

I am glad my metal is platinum though since that's harder than gold and I'm clumsy. I hardly wear my e ring these days though bc I feel like I'll scratch the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668524 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:15:02 +0000 Smurfette 1668524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Thanks for posting this. It made me look down at my ring and I noticed one of my prongs is bent a little. The diamond is still secure. But looks like I will be taking it to get fixed. I just need to find a place local.</p> <p>I have a 6. Our jeweler wouldn't put my stone in a 4, said 6 is more secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668520 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:13:34 +0000 SweetiePie 1668520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer 4 no matter the stone! I have an emerald cut so obviously it's 4. But if I had a round or anything else Id still want 4. I feel like 4 prongs let the diamond stand out more...less metal or something? Simpler?<br /> But I have heard 6 is safer to protect the stone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668518 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:12:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1668518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: hahah same here... when I saw 4 prong vs 6 prong I was thinking forks? she wants to know what type of fork you prefer? I saw it in the beauty/style board though... soooo.... what?</p> <p>Never even considered it and had to look at my ring - I have a 4 prong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668515 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:12:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1668515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you need 6 if your diamond is a certain size. Mine's not thaaat big of a rock (round) so 4 is fine! I don't like all those nubs sticking out and taking away from my diamond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668512 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:10:59 +0000 kjpugs 1668512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have and prefer the look of a 4 prong, but I think a 6 would be more secure? Never thought about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668511 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:10:49 +0000 Greentea 1668511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer 4, you see more of the stone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668499 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:08:50 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1668499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an emerald (instead of a diamond) with 4, but I've knocked out the stone before and wish it had 6 because I feel like it would be a bit more secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-prong-vs-6-prong#post-1668480 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:04:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1668480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6.
