0.86 specs - just for more opinions on final decisions

I think either will perform strongly and look great - faint fluor may help lift the colour, too :)

If you are in the position to have enough credit or proper money to get both, you could do that and return the one you prefer less? (Ask about shipping and insurance for returns if you do it!)

Cant get both unfortunately. Placing order in a few hours! Still torn between the 2! Why am I so indecisive?! I liked the G, but then found out it was rectangular so that threw me off. Is it just me or does .86 look more yellow in the images?

It's hard to judge color with videos. I personally like the elongate (and larger size) as it won't be mistaKen for a princess. But, you do you.

Woo-hoo.:clap:.......wait a minute, I don't get a shout out for the claw prong? I can handle the rejection (Just Kidding).

OP, as far as the claw prong, I personally like a single claw not a double at each prong, personally, I would think too much "metal" showing and you don't need that to support the diamond in the setting.
Congrats again, we look forward to hand shots when complete or else we toss you off the forum for life!

I last posted when the .92 wasn't found yet. I think you made the right choice! Echo claw prongs, single, rather than double to keep it delicate.

Congrats!!

Also wanted to point out that on a previous comment, I said 0.92 was more rectangular than the others and I meant 0.90, but it won’t let me edit it now.

Another associate told me that she’s loves the one I went with .92 and that it has some characteristics of a round as far as how it will perform, so I’m excited!

Unfortunately I am not getting the ring. The finance company they go through, bank rather, is not accepting the application. Boyfriend has never had issues with credit before and they wouldn’t even tell him why, said he’d have to wait on the letter in the mail, which would take 7-10 days. Although the guy could see the reason why on his end?

Needless to say I’m disgusted and disappointed.

I’d rather not go through kay, but boyfriend doesn’t want to go through a bank he’s never heard of, and after this incident I can see why.

Before you go “Maul” shopping, wait to see if anyone here can give you solid advice from possible experience, or knowledge, first....
