Dilemma! Please help!

Hi there. My bf and I have been ring shopping and I have it narrowed down to two:

I''m sorry I don''t know how to embed pictures, but here are the links:

Simon G (I like that it does not have a halo, to really showcase the stone. The band is SO MUCH more sparkly in person:

Tacor 2620 (I like the lacy-ness of the band and that it looks a little antiquey. Perhaps less trendy than the pave band on the Simon G? But the halo is my only concern. It makes the round stone almost squarish and may detract from the diamond)

I love them both. I want something timeless, but also sparkly and bright. Hmmm... Thoughts, please!!!!

Hm. I''m a halo lover, but I''m actually going to pick the first one as my favorite. I agree, I don''t like how the halo makes the diamond a weird shape on the second setting. And the diamond will really pop on the first one. Just my opinion though

Thank you so much for replying!!! I am just so torn! :/

Hi Bijou,

The first ring gets my vote.

Happy shopping!
