New here.....need help choosing my setting

[tammyD]

Hello, I am new here and this is my first post. I have been searching on PS for about a month now and I am down to my final choices for my wedding set. This site landed me at Quest. I am from Maryland so it was just a short drive. I have visited Quest and they have two that I love. I just can''t decide and want to know what others think. My dilema is that we are getting married May 12th so I need something fast. They do have both of these in stock. I like a third at a local store and it is a Kirk Kara. I want something that I will love FOREVER and not go out of style. My number one thing when I started looking was I thought I had to have platinum. The Natalie K is in white gold, the Gottlieb is in Platinum and the Kirk Kara is in white gold. I am looking at a RB from 1.00 - 1.20 carats.

The first is this Natalie K. I feel like this is very classic and I will love it forver but it is in white gold.

The second is the Gottieb and Sons and is in Platinum. They have a matching eternity band.

And the third is the Kirk Kara. I thought that I have always wanted a ring with the intricate design but I am not sure I will LOVE it in 10 years. I also think that with all of the design it takes away from the diamonds.

I love the Kirk Kara. I''m pretty sure I''d love it 10 years from now too. If I could have afforded it, I would have bought Kirk Kara for my upgrade. I went with Beverley K instead, similar look, much less expensive. I love the detail. Maybe you want something plainer?

Welcome! I like #2 the best, I love the double prongs

#2 gets my vote, love it.

 

[sunnyd]

Another vote for #2!

 

[tammyD]

Why #2? Because it is in platinum or the style? I was leaning for #1.

 

[Cachette]

# 2 for me also!!

Love the double claws and the milgrain.

Good luck!

I''m just guessing, but maybe the people are leaning towards #2 b/c of the double prongs. Which I admit I LOVE.

I''m with you though I''d go with #1 I like the surprise diamond and the detail around it.

Now I can''t see the side of #2 but if had a surprise diamond and detailing like #1 it would be the clear winner for me.

Another vote for #2!
Love the double prongs and the pave!

Which ever you chose, you won''t go wrong. They are all beautiful!

I do not like the double prongs so Quest will be removing them. #2 also has diamonds on the side of the head but it sits more down whereas with #1 the diamond would sit higher therefore I think showcasing the center stone more.

Oh! You are SO making me wish I could find a picture of the side of #2. Do you know G&S style number I gave been searching their site and haven''t seen #2 yet.

THe Gottieb and Sons has my vote hands down. Classic and stunning, and really timeless. Congrats!!

You have to love it though. And no the platinum wasn't a strong consideration for me. I just think the Gottieb and Sons is nicer.

Ditto!!!

On the Gottlieb and Sons site I think it is it is style # 27047 but mine had milgrain and in this picture it does not. It also does not sit flush with the band so Quest was going to take away some of the metal at the bottom so it would.

Ooooo! Okay I change my vote! #2 all the way. I love milgrain and if they can make the band sit even more flush....wow.

Gottlieb & Son (#2) all the way!! Like you, I would like a side shot before making a decision, but those double prongs and general appearance from the head-on shot we can see are lovely!

I like the #2 and #3. I bought something similar to the Kirk Kara. It is different than the classic #2, but I don''t see how you would get tired of it in 10 years. I actually got to try on a Kirk Kara ring in a store, and it was so gorgeous, very delicate and antiquey looking. However, the Gottlieb had those cool double prongs. Decisions, decisions.
