I have recently purchased a BGD e-ring for my SO. I am worried that she will not like the ring. I was hoping for pricescopers opinion.
We have gone to Kays and Jareds in the past to just browse for fun, and I could see what she likes. Her favorite ring by far that she saw is this neil lane ring:

I was not impressed by the main diamond on the ring at all. It looked dull to me. I asked her about this, and she said she thought the halo diamonds made up for the sparkle. She is really into the sparkle and the larger size the halo gives the ring. I asked her what diamond cut she liked best. All she said was that she liked square cuts better than round.
I wanted a higher quality diamond and ring in general, so I started searching for a similar halo. I had a hard time at first but luckily found pricescope and than BGD. I love the princess of hearts diamond so settled on a similar quadex stone with the michelle setting in platinum.
The stone is a .79 ct J VS1 and the ring setting is supposed to be around .6 carat. Pictures below are from BGD. I will be getting the ring tomorrow so I can take more if requested.

The ring cost $4900 dollars compared to the $4700 the neil lane ring cost. I am hoping I got a much higher quality ring for about the same price. I am a little worried the J stone will look yellow in the setting surrounded by the F/G color melee. The carats are similar with the neil lane having more overall carat by a little(1.5 vs 1.4). Im worried that since the halo is larger on the neil lane ring that the BGD ring will appear smaller. What do you pricescopers think?
