Hi guys, I really need your help. The girlfriend and I have gone ring shopping a few times, so I know which types of styles she likes, and have done a lot of research to narrow it down to two rings. I'm just torn on the issue of the setting now and have to make a decision soon to be able to get the ring in time.
Her favorite settings were a thicker channel sets, followed by more delicate split shank pave rings in 2nd place.
They're both going to have a 1.2ct diamond, G/VS2 ideal cut.
My choices are between these two:
Whiteflash cathedral pave

And this split shank from Kwiat

At this stage I want to choose and surprise her but I'm just curious, if you guys had to choose, what would you pick?
I personally think that the kwiat setting is beautiful and unique with great craftsmanship and that even though it's not her favorite style, she would still love it. I feel like I would just be really happy to be able to give her something so beautifully crafted. But this is the first real jewelry purchase I've ever made and I know I might be out to lunch so I'd love to hear the opinions of so you who've seen a lot of rings and jewlery over the years!
