I have been looking at engagement rings with the BF and cannot decide what I want. 

Here is what I do know that I want:
-Round Solitaire
-Pave band

Here is my dilemma:
-I love the look of a halo, however it seems difficult to find settings that are not bezel.  I'm not sure I like the bezel setting.  I THINK I like the prong setting because it puts a little more emphasis on the actual center diamond

-I do like the look of just a simple round solitaire and pave band, however I feel like that is so common and I do want a ring with a little something else, a little different

Any thoughts?!?  I feel like I am thinking about this way too much.  I know I will like whatever I get, I just don't want to wish I had something different when I get it!  Ah, isn't that horrible?

i like the solitaire.  you can always mix and match bands to change it up but with a halo, that's it.  i think you should go with what you know you love and not hope that you will like something else.

best of luck!

I know they make halos with prongs for the center stone. I'm not sure who does it...Maybe check Leon's site or Ritani?

I do agree that in the long run a solitaire is safer and allows you the option to change wedding and anniversary bands.




~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

Knox has a few...

This one appears to be prong set, but it's hard to tell.

This is prong set, but I'm not a big fan of it.

Same thing with this one.

Here's a pretty nice split shank.

This one has a double row of pave...not bad.

They also have some nice settings for a princess stone...split shank, double row pave, classic pave halo, art deco...(edit: but I just read that you want a round stone, so feel free to ignore these)
