I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions!

I prefer the 2nd... the french cut would be my 2nd choice

They are all so beautiful - it's difficult to choose! I think I would prefer #1 with a smaller stone, or #3 with a larger stone...but like I said, they are all so gorgeous. I don't think that there is a wrong choice here!

I love #3......

Lovely rings! So hard to choose!

What kind of wedding band do you think you will get?
Figuring out which ring would look best paired-up could help you make your decision.

Rings 1 and 3 have plain or eternity band options

Ring 2 has a matching 3-stone band

I love the french cut pave!

What size is you stone? I like the french cut the best but if you want a little more bling then 1 would be my option.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it! Yes, it is very hard to pick one, since I love these 3 settings!
I’d like the setting to be timeless, something I won’t get tired of. And I also want it to have some “wow factor”, aka bling.

My centre stone is going to be a round cut diamond around 1ct (ring size 6.5)

As for the band, I think I will be wearing the ring without one (for now) on my right hand because I already have a wedding set. This ring is going to be a gift from my hubby for our wedding anniversary (wow, has been almost three years?!)
I still haven't decided if I should wear it on my right hand or alternate with my current engagement ring…

I would have it made to alternate with your current engagement ring since it really is an engagement ring style and not a right hand ring. If you really wanted to wear it on your right hand, you could find a three stone setting or other kind of setting such as a halo that would make it look more like a right hand ring. But I personally don't see anything wrong with having 2 engagement rings! Or if you like the new ring better, just have a pendant made from the old e-ring stone. Lots of possibilities!

I do like all three rings a lot, but I would choose the french cut pave only for an engagement ring. I also like the one with 1 diamond on each side.

 

[natalie_nat]

Thanks diamondseeker2006! I think you’re right, I should alternate with my current engagement ring; it might look weird having two engagement style rings on at the same time. I’ll know for sure when the ring arrives

I like the second one the best!

Just curious why you are not getting a RHR that you can wear all the time with your wedding rings? That would be my first
choice. How large is your current engagement ring? Are you happy with it?

 

[natalie_nat]

I've picked these 3 settings because I really like these styles! Also, I already have several nice RHRs.

Does anyone here own a french cut pave ring? Some of the pave style rings I've tried on before were a tad uncomfortable because the diamonds on the sides were rubbing against my fingers.

Any advice form pave owners out there?

#3 all the way!
