B. I like the blinged out look and I can focus on the center better and the center looks crisper and whiter without the halo. And I like the symmetry of the stones in the two bands.
Thanks for posting the additional pics, rollingringqueen!
Are you committed to making your purchase one of this particular vendor's two offerings (I'm guessing both sets are from the same shop)? The reason I ask is because -- if you're leaning towards B -- there are other, 5-stone e-ring possibilities other than the one in B, where the center stone is in a basic peg head that's plonked down on the band. Mall jewelers like that kind of setting because the peg head can be readily swapped out to accommodate a customer who wants a different size, even shape, of center stone, thereby enabling them to make a quick, easy sale. But consequently, B's e-ring looks less expensive to me than the halo & I think it would be nice for you to have a 5-stone that's more gracefully "organic" than this particular one.
Ok everyone! Here's the story: set B is my wedding set and is almost 15 years old. (Good guess from someone saying late 90s style-- you were close!) Although it was my dream set back then, I was hoping to get diamonds reset for my next anniversary. Also, my set is yellow gold-- I have it rhodium plated on occasion to keep it looking like white gold.
So, set A is a Gabriel & Co e-ring that I fell in love with. My 1 Ct diamond can pop right into the halo. The wedding band you see would come from the 9 .10 Ct diamonds from my original band and e ring. Yes, I agree it's probably too big with e-ring but I want to use all my diamonds.
Anyone have any better ideas? I'm open to hearing them!
