Since all of you are way more obsessed about stones and settings than my friends/family, I was hoping to get some feedback.
I lost my anniversary ring that had a center stone just shy of half a carat. I miss my ring, and would love to replace with a whiteflash either ACA or expert selection .5-.6 center stone. I'm ok with not having accent diamonds in the ring.
Basically I want to get something that I can wear most the time and rarely take off.
Considering the size of the stone, which of these settings do you prefer?
in white gold

or platinum head, yellow gold band:

I like both. The first because I like semi bezel look and can imagine wearing all the time.
I also like the w-prong, because my wedding band is yellow gold and I'd prefer a setting with a yellow gold band. My last ring had a platinum semi bezel for the stone, on an 18K yellow gold band and I liked the durability/look of that and it would replicate that, plus the design has some interest to it without being overly fussy. Drawbacks is that it is a little more expensive, and I don't know if a half carat stone will be overwhelmed by this setting?
any comments?
