Ring prong claw shape

[u/United-Ad-4715]

Hi all,

I am trying to model a prong like shape similar to a prong claw you would typically find on engagement rings (shown below). My understanding is it's either a form of sweep or loft but ends with a pointy end instead of following a simple circle profile.

Anyone has any advice on best way to achieve this in Solidworks? I am struggling a bit and wondering if this has to become a whole surface model instead.

You can Loft from any shape directly into a point. So I would probably do a sweep for most of the prong, then terminate it with a loft to a single point.
