I currently have a 1.07 carat princess cut engagement ring in a tiffany style setting (thin band w/4 prongs). I am interested in getting a cathedral style setting bc I like the look of a thicker band. I was just wondering how long changing a setting usually takes and if I can do this with the size of the diamond. Any help would be great!

The head, which is the prongs, is your setting. Any setting can go on any ring. Whether it looks good or not is up to the style you choose. The whole process take a few hours, depending on how fast and good your jeweler is*. For the diamond I would suggest a band that is 1/2 the size of your stone so it doesn't look off balance.
*If you go to a store like Kay Jewelers it will take them a lot longer to do. If you go to a privately owned store it can take a few hours to a couple days because they have less projects to work on so they can focus on yours more.

You can change the setting. I had to have mine reset because the prongs were to thing an 2 broke so the diamond fell out :( It took like 2 weeks for them to fix it, but they said that it would have taken less time, if we had gone to the original store where it was purchased. (But the store is 4 hours away).

as long as you're on a similar web site with your fiance and his emotions are not harm, bypass forward. human beings exchange their settings each and all the time, customarily to enhance and upload stones after various years jointly. it does not make you shallow, it particularly is different from you're soliciting for an even bigger diamond, you merely desire a distinctive placing. the diamond is particularly worth an awful lot extra effective than the placing in the long-term, the steel isn't the substantial ingredient of the hoop. it particularly is why they say diamonds are continuously, no longer white gold is often! or platinum or maybe though! you're able to get the placing and wedding ceremony band you like superb and don't experience undesirable.

Go to a good jeweler and ask him/her.
