slammerkin Ashaholic Registered: 04/02/12 Posts: 232	Originally Posted By: roogirl I've had a round and an asscher tulip head solitaire... it's shank is around 2mm maybe even just a little over ..... it's the perfect width for the head... ... the tulip head itself isn't really bulky at all... it's more of a smooth sculpted design that looks like flower petals from the side.... a very feminine and even really delicate ring.... I've looked at pics of your asscher in the tulip setting! (Been hunting down all the tulip pics I can find!) I never would have guessed the shank was only 2mm, but that makes me feel better because I think yours looks lovely. I was just worried about the base of the head being wider than the shank and maybe looking...unbalanced? Thanks for the info.

roogirl BTD Crown Jewel Registered: 04/06/06 Posts: 16928 Loc: Sparklieville USA	Your welcome... it really is a gorgeous setting... but yes.. I would say it's just a little over the 2mm... 2.2 or 2.3 .. .... you'll love it... _________________________ ~~ Got Sparkle ~~

jen4relient Smitten Registered: 04/03/12 Posts: 29	i had some questions about this too, and the live chat on moiss co wasn't especially helpful because they didn't have measurements, they said you had to email the sales dept for that. i wanted a very thin band (1.8mm) and really wanted a different prong setting, but since i got mixed advice i decided to go with standard prongs. i think the tulip head is soooo beautiful though, but i do think you'd need a wider band.

That does look a bit thicker than I would like, but roogirl's looks just about right.

I tried the live chat on AD got the same response - to email sales. I did send an email so I'll report back on what they say!

jen4relient Smitten Registered: 04/03/12 Posts: 29	sounds good!! i ended up ordering my setting with standard prongs since i couldn't find any pictures of anyone with different prongs (i really liked solstice and tulip) and was really nervous about ordering it. i'm so excited to get mine in.........

slammerkin Ashaholic Registered: 04/02/12 Posts: 232	Well AD got back to me and said the base of the tulip head is 2.5-3mm. I think the 2.5mm band will be ok. Now to get my husband on board, lol. But first, vacation in Mexico starting tomorrow!
