Help me choose between these 2 settings!

[ChrisH86]

I thought I was all set, I paid for the diamond and setting and was now just waiting to receive the ring. Since whiteflash wont be shipping the ring until later this month Ive had time to question my selection lol. I originally chose thier"amphora" setting but am now thinking thier "selene" setting may be a better choice. I think my future fiance may prefer the simplistic "selene". Both settings would use ACA diamond melee fyi.

Which of these two settings would you choose?

Thank you so much for your feedback!

I love the Selene. Granted I am biased as my own setting is a plain shank halo. It gives me so many wedding band options. And it gives me boost without the worry of melee in my shank being harmed through wear.

I don't know why this isn't listed on WF, as they carry Ritani, but this is the setting I prefer to the Amphora if you do want melee in the shank: http://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/french-set-halo-diamond-band-engagement-ring-in-14kt-white-gold/6115

I love the Ritani setting Gypsy recommends, love it!

Thank you for your insight and opinions. I ended up going with the "Selene" setting. I really like the contrast between the shank and halo as well as it being a double halo. Also, no need to upgrade the melee diamonds since the "Selene" comes with the ACA melee. The difference in price allowed me to go with platinum as well!

Hey Chris - I am also considering between the Ritani halo and the Selene settings from WF. Some time has elapsed so I was wondering if you had already pulled the trigger. If so do you have any feedback that you can share?

Thanks in advance!

I have these two pictures that I took at the Whiteflash store in Houston. The selene has a .91cz in it. The set was super comfy.
I am sorry the picture of the amphora set is not so good but hopefully will give you an idea. My finger is 5.75.

Both are beautiful, but I prefer the Selene.

 

[ChrisH86]

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of both! That is the first actual photo I have seen of either setting not on WF site. I ended up choosing the "Selene" setting and I am glad I did based off the pictures posted. WF is will be shipping my ring later this month and I will be proposing early next month!

Given the two choices, I prefer the Selene myself as I prefer the cleaner lines of a plain shank.

Hi,

Glad the pictures helped. I must say the Selene was my favourite too.

Good luck with the proposal and don't forget to post some real life pictures!

Great choice. It's a gorgeous ring. And let me tell you once it is paired with a pave wedding band it will REALLY show it's beauty.
