hmmm...well, I thought the first one was to thick of a band until I saw it on the girl''s finger.


I don''t really like #2 as much, but I might if I saw it on a finger....

i would have to say that I really like the pink, and round look of #1

I like #1 the best, probably because I prefer rounds to ovals. 

I like the first one better, the second one has too big of a gap in the airline halo??  Maybe it''s just the pic???

I prefer #2 (the oval) with a pink halo instead of yellow.  I''d have to see it on a hand too to be 100% sure.

I like #2, but think it would be prettier with a pink halo.  Also, the airline looks a little big (per Kaleigh), but maybe it''s the angle the picture was taken...?  Since it looks like the whole thing will have to be custom made for the center stone, I''m sure you can clarify that you want a less obvious airline.

I''m partial to the pink.. very classic.

~~Thanks for the replies!! I like the first one too, but then I saw a pic of the second one in InStyle Weddings, and I like the uniqueness of it... I''m starting to like ovals now too!!

They are both gorgeous.....so I vote for one of each!!!

I love the pink, though.........and the oval..............

I like the first one best, too.  I''ve also seen it in person, and it''s very pretty.  Those pink diamonds are to die for. 

Also, I''ve seen a variation on the first style, except that it had baguettes going down the center on the shank instead of the princess cuts.  Very pretty!

I like the first one best ... but how would it look with a wedding band? It''s gonna start to get pretty metal heavy on one widdle finger ...

Don''t like the 2nd AT ALL. Too big an airline, the yellow looks too strong & photoshopped, not like the true canary/fancy diamond color. Not fond of ovals generally either -- IMO if you''re going round-ish, get the ideal cut & optic advantages of RB. Or go with the more romantic "cushion" shape or romantic OEC, OMC.

Hey BD -- I like the first one! The rose gold and the way the band looks like it''s 3 stacked rings is really cool. The second is nice too but I don''t like that huuuuge airline space.

~~The more I look at it, the less I like the second one. I really like the first one still...maybe the oval is what caught my eye.

Hi BD ~

I don't know if anyone else had noticed this ... but doesn't the girls fingers look really "spacious"???

I don't have that much fingerage where I would wear my ring ... 9-10 mm would be really pushing it!

I do love the first ring, MMMMmmm Partial to pink diamonds! I would have it be all white metal though.

I like the second ring, love the oval , it would have to be a pink diamond halo, and also have the space "Airline" not be so big. Love the kite  shape down the shoulder shank too! MMMmmm!

I second the motion to have one of each!!!

Have a happy day!

~~BTW, I was staring at the first ring, and it looks like there are diamonds on the outer rim of the band...so I guess you wouldn''t wear a band with it. Would wearing a band damage those tiny diamonds??

Those are inset into the band. If I had it, I''d wear a plain band. It IS gorgeous, isn''t it? LOL

I''m with Sophie, I didn''t like it until I saw that 2nd photo with the ring on her finger then I went WOOOO...
i am also partial to pink so that might''ve added to it but I really like the look of the first ring on her finger.

I had also found a Simon G setting I really liked -- love the bling they radiate but the bf prefers cleaner and simpler *sigh*.

I love, love, love the first ring- and it''s at the top of my list of favorites.
I have studied it and it gives the appearance of a halo e-ring with diamond bands stacked & soldered on each side of the e-ring.

So- I don''t think it would look right with a wedding band.  I''d wear it alone, and just get a simple plain gold band to wear when you leave the SimonG in the jewelry box.

My hubby looked over my shoulder and saw SimonG and, surprisingly he liked this one.  I think it''s the bulk.  BAsically he likes masculine stuff and I like feminine stuff.  He tells me now that I should have insisted on a frilly feminine ring when we shopped.  He says he was giving his opinions just be involved, but I should always ignore his opinions when they don''t suit me.  hee hee  I''ll remember that! 

One more opinion here, I agree that the pink is really prettier.
But I have tried on rings with the gold /yellow diamond accents and they look really good if you also wear some yellow gold jewelry.

So, for me, a ring like #2 (after adjusting the airway) might actually fit into my existing jewelry collection better than ring #1.  I have some yellow gold things that I love and will never stop wearing.

the first one is gorgeous in every way...  you couldn''t go wrong with that..  And I think if you would want a bigger looking stone,  alot of time a oval  can face up bigger then a round of the same size.  But they both are wonderful.  I don''t think you could go wrong with either. 

At first I liked the first one but the 2nd could be interesting since it''s more unique and I like the yellow.

I like the first one better but I like the oval diamond better.  I think ovals are very classy and I would have requested it for my ering but I was afraid it''d have a big bowtie or something.........in other words.......didn''t trust him to pick an oval LOL.  I went with round because it''s easier to pick by the numbers.

I choose #1 since that is the same head I have on my ring except my halo has white diamonds....

Well I wouldn''t turn either down. But guess I would vote for #1.

I also thought the first ring was too bulky-looking until seeing it on a hand. I like that better since I like the halo shape. I might like the oval too with pink diamonds instead of yellow.

#1 - absolutely.

Sorry I''m waaayyy late to this thread, but I just had to say I LOVE #1!!!!
