Best Radiant/Princess out of these

[Promise123]

My gf wants a square diamond. So, im between a square radiant and princess cut. I spoke with someone at WF at length this morning and we took a long look at this one: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut-loose-diamond-373349.htm

how do you think that compares to the rest of these from blue nile? Which would you pick?

If it helps it will either be on a tiffany novo type setting ( http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-engagement-ring-white-gold_20311 ) OR this one ( http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/legato-sleek-line-pave-diamond-engagement-ring-422.htm )


Thanks for your help and advice in advance!

out of these options...the WF definitely because you have the images.

I like the WF too, again you have the pics and their service, quality and reputation is fantastic. They also have already evaluated the stone, Blue Nile, unless they order it in for you, has only the same information about the stone as you do. I would make sure to get pics and an ASET if you decide to continue looking with them. It's going to be a beautiful ring!

Yup, the clear choice is the WF one because you have far more information about it than any of the BN stones, and it looks fantastic. Great ASET, great spread, nice color/clarity combination if it's eye-clean, and you're avoiding the price premium of going over 1 ct. The price, by the way, is excellent. I'm not sure why it's that low, but you can't get an ideal-cut princess for the same size, color, and clarity at WF, the only difference between them being that the princess would have corners and the square radiant (formerly branded as "X-factor" by WF) does not. It's an excellent choice.

Unless you're getting the diamond from Blue Nile, I don't think you can get one of their settings.

Yep, thats last I heard...besides it would be easier to stick with WF for your setting.

 

[slg47]

yeah you can't just get a setting from BN. plus if you get the setting/stone at same vendor, the stone will be covered during the setting process and you would avoid shipping/insurance/mounting fees.

WF has this setting that is similar to the BN...you could ask them to customize the head so it is more integrated?

[Promise123]

good to know! i did not even think about that at all.

Well, at least that type setting is available at a lot of places.

What do you all think? You like the Legato or the Tiffany Novo style better?

My concern is that the Legato might be a bit thick further down and she wants thin band. however, the lady i spoke with at WF said it is pretty delicate.

Thoughts?

Thanks again everyone!!!

I like the legato but prefer it without pave:

But if you guys want diamonds in the band, the sleek line pave is a nice choice. The general consensus around here is that the Legato head is much more elegant and fluid than the typical 4-prong head. So you could see if they'll put the Legato head on the Petite band, or you could look into this one, which seems like a combination of the two:
