Can a 6 prong setting be changed to a 4 prong setting?

Anyone know or has anyone done this? TIA!

They might be able to solder a new head on the ring, but I think it depends. But IDK.

pricescope.com has good ring forums to ask this type of question. But they will likely need more specifics.

I would go talk to a reputable jeweler in your town. It can most likely be done but it depends on the way your head of your ring sits.

I would assume this depends on your specific ring. I agree with PPs and would bring the ring to a local jeweler or the jewelry store it was purchased at to find out for sure.

I think so. It would involve putting a new head on the ring. Why don't you love the 6 prong? Mine is 6 prong and I love it. A jeweler told us that if you're going over 1 ct. that you should have 6 prongs. Mine is only 3/4, but I love the setting. I do have a very low plain wedding band though because that's what will sit flat.

They should be able to. I love my 6 prong, though and it's definitely more secure, especially if the stone is on the larger side as mentioned by posters above. My FH used Harry Winston-type claws on my custom setting--secure yet they are minimal and do not catch on stuff
