BN vs JA settings

[kitguyy]

I'm trying to narrow down the setting for my ring, and I'm choosing between James Allen and Blue Nile. Which one would you guys recommend? I was able to find comparable diamonds on both sites, so it's down to the setting now .

Is 1.6-1.7mm too thin?

Thanks

love the last one from james allen
the fact they have 25% off right now makes me think thats the best bet (maybe you can bump up to platinum now?)

Definitely James Allen because they have more info on the diamonds. The sale on settings is nice, too! Please post your diamond picks before ordering, though, and let people here give their advice!

Another vote for the JA setting.

Personally I prefer the BN pave. I was looking at one that's almost identical. JA does seem to have better prices on the settings though (especially with the sale).

I prefer the one I posted, as I don't love the cut on this h

This one is a fair price you could maybe afford to get that handmade ja soli in platinum at this price. And the color is good for platinum
