Hi all,
So I'm on the market for a new 5 stone diamond band to celebrate my 5 year wedding anniversary with DH. I would love to replace my current ering as over the years I've fallen out of love with it and now that I have 2 young daughters (one of whom is still a baby) I find that a solitaire with quite pronounced prongs is terribly impractical for family life. (Additionally, I bought the diamond before I found Pricescope and its an understatement to say that the one I chose does not have the best cut!)
As I'm not currently working, I do have a limited budget. I have found two 5 stone rings that I really like and can afford. The first is the 5 stone shared prong diamond band from Whiteflash with 1.00 tcw and the second is the 5 stone shared prong diamond band with airline from IDJ with 1.25 tcw. Now here is my dilemma: which choice makes more sense? Go with WF and experience the ACA melee that everyone is talking about or go with IDJ and get a larger total carat weight which will look substantially bigger on my 4.75 finger?
If it were up to you - what would you do? Now I have been reassured that the diamonds in the ring to be provided by IDJ will be of ideal/excellent cut quality (yes, I did ask for 'Pricescope quality' ideal stones!) But even so, I'm not convinced that the larger total carat weight size can compete with the benefit of having ACA melee stones. Also, does anyone know if the settings from Whiteflash are better than the Unique Settings of NY that IDJ uses?
Help! I'm going mad. I've changed my mind about 10 times and DH looks like he wants to leave the room every time I ask him about it. I just can't make a decision.
But I''m sure this may have happened to a few of you before. Please weigh in with opinions so maybe it will help me make a final decision tomorrow!
