Do YOU think eternity settings or tiffany setting makes a large center stone pop the most?

Just a taste test...

Tiffany, no diamonds to take away from the center stone!

I''m a simple "no side stone" girl, so if I had to choose, Tiffany. However, Tiffany is TOO plain for me too...Basically I like uniquely shaped rings with no side stones.

I like a plain shank with a solitaire. It does allow the diamond to be the star, IMO. I do love diamonds on the wedding band, though!

I love both the shared prong settings and the classic solitaire!!! I really wish I could have one of each!!! My BF must think I''m nuts.

I think a plain solitare paired with either a plain or diamond wedding band makes a diamond look bigger!

Yea, I got to go to Tiffany this weekend and try on different sizes and it was so much better than I expected. The classic solitaire paired with the 3 pointer eternity band was GORGEOUS!!!

I tried on a 2.38 and the saleslady (after being asked) actually told me that it looked too big! Is that weird?

I think a solitaire makes the stone look bigger.

What size is your finger? I vote the plain soli. You can have so much fun mixing it up with different bands. I really love the look of a plain soli and a plain band, also the plain soli with the diamond band. It''s good to have choices!

My finger size is a 4.5. Okay, the 2.38 definately looked substantial but I really thought it looked GREAT!

And I agree....I LOVE the idea of switching up the wedding bands! That could keep me from getting bored! hehe

even if im a halo girl...

between these two options i would go with the tiffany style, it does make the stone pop like crazy. unless the side stones in the eternity are melee then i would say the eternity style.

definitely the tiffany setting. I think that it definitely makes the centre stone pop more.

I used to think that a solitaire made the diamond pop the most, which is why I chose mine. But, now I think that subtle sidestones really help make more of an impact. My current favorite setting is BlingItOn''s, with microset sidestones.

I think a thin shank (under 2 mm) and a delicate crown makes the center stone pop the most.

I think a Tiff setting would be more flattering.

I think both. It depends on the size of the stones in the eternity setting. Lynn B''s ring is a good example of a round that pops beautifully amongst eternity side stones.

...and the solitaire will pop for sure.

Rings like this one http://international.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?cid=0&Sku=GRP00099&search_params=s+5-p+1-c+288152-r+301323340+301323351-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t&selectedSku=16029289&selEmailSku=16029289
look great.
But the fact the diamonds protrude and touch the base of the setting on the ring next to it does make the center "pop".

It will hack thru the setting and pop the diamond right out.
