Ladies I need some help.
My lovely boyfriend let me choose my engagement ring. A couple of years ago, I tried on a half-rubover (or half halo) setting which looked great on my finger, however when I later tried on a similar setting, I didn''t like the look of it and thought I went off this ring type. Since then, I decided to go for a simple, modern four claw setting, and my boyfriend and I went to a couple of jeweller''s to discuss the design and get some quotes.
The first jeweller also brought out a ring similar to the original, half-halo setting I first fell in love in, and when I put my stone into it, it looked great. However, I brushed this aside as we were there to look at a different style. To cut the long story short, the second jeweller we met was a great guy to work with, offered us a fantastic price and has a great reputation, so we comissioned the four-claw modern ring. It''s going to be ready on Monday.
The problem is, I can''t get that other ring out of my head! I am referring to the half-halo. The four-claw ring is really nice from the profile, as the whole of the diamond is on display, but makes the diamond look quite squarish as the claws are very square; the second ring somehow looks more feminine.
We haven''t paid a deposit, however I really liked the second jeweller, and would hope to work with him in the future, and as such, feel obliged to stay loyal to the deal. On the other hand, I will wear this ring every day for the rest of my life...Both designs are nice, it''s just that I think I love the round a little bit more...
Do you think I have any options or should I just forget about the other ring? Had the first jeweller not brought it out, I wouldn''t remember the original setting I loved.
Apologies for the slightly complicated story and sorry if this sounds pathetic...I am attaching pics of rings that are *similar* to the designs I am talking about.
