# Choosing the Basket Setting
In this lesson, we will design a curved basket setting for your diamond. RhinoArtisan offers a variety of pre-designed basket models that you can customize to fit your needs. Let's explore the steps involved in selecting and customizing your basket setting.
***
### Step 1: Basket Command
Begin by select the gem and then navigate to the toolbar and select the “Diamonds” tab **(1)**. Select the “Basket” command **(2)**. This will open a library of pre-designed basket models.
### Step 2: Basket Library
From the library, choose the BA002**(1)** basket model. This model is ideal for this tutorial as it allows us to create a curved design, which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Click on the pencil icon **(2)** at the top of the library to open the editing panel. This will allow you to adjust the various parameters of the basket.
Since the half-carat stone has a diameter larger than 5 millimeters, it’s crucial to ensure that the prongs securely hold the diamond.
### **Step 3: Parameters**
* Set the prong **diameter** to **1.20**.
* To enhance the design and add detail, set the **bottom diameter** of the lower part of the basket to **0.90**. This will ensure that the basket is both sturdy and visually appealing.
* Long earrings can affect balance when worn, so it’s important to get the height right. Set the **height** of the basket to **4.3**. This height is optimal for setting the stone securely while leaving enough space for the setting.
* Change the prong mode to **curved** for a more elegant design.
* Set the post support to **Double** to provide additional stability for the setting.
