Hello everyone,

What style does she like?

 

[evilin]

i guess all rings i showed r in her style and taste. She loves sidestones, no solitaire and no halo.

 

[Elmorton]

Gotta be honest...they''re all beautiful. Some are more delicate or modern looking than others, so that''s really your call - would she be comfortable with a thinner band or a slightly thicker? How many prongs? I''m a 4-prong gal myself because I like to see as little as possible on the stone, but there are some really beautiful 6-prong choices. How high should it sit? Again, depending on her job and hobbies, she might want lower, but a higher setting does show off the stone more. Also, I''d double check and look at the color/clarity/cut of the melee that each vendor uses.

I think what I would do in your situation is narrow it down by answering some of the above ?s and then decide simply which vendor you''d prefer to work with.

 

[evilin]

4 prongs, did i add any link with 6?

I talked with her before a lil about rings and only thing she knows is that she wants something pretty with sidestones. Something that take her (and her friends

) breath away and will be not too expensive. I am sure she has no idea how high she wants her diamond etc, it just has to be beautiful and sparkling.

My absolute favorite is the Willow by Artcarved. But you can''t go wrong with ANY of these settings!

 

[evilin]

thanks! anyone wanna add his/her vote?

 

[Elmorton]

I have the willow band, so I can attest to that one. It''s beautiful and well made - the diamonds are like little disco balls.

 

[evilin]

another vote for willow! anyone else?

 

[Upgradable]

I like the second setting from Knox. What amazing detail!

 

[evilin]

2:1 still f willow

 

[anne_h]

A.

 

[evilin]

I am a lil suprised cause i thought most of votes will be for ritani endless love setting.

 

[AprilBaby]

#3, the Willow

 

[laurel25]

I like either the Milano from Knox or the Willow.

 

[evilin]

thank u very much for help!

 

[chel180]

Ritani endless love
I just think its so classic & sparkly no-one could not love it!
Best of luck

 

[somehowcollide]

I love the basket detailing on the Firenze setting #6
Next I would pick the willow, it also has some nice detailing #3

 

[UCLABelle]

I love the first link, and the last one! Although, all are very similar!

 

[Gypsy]

artcarved willow!

 

[Tuckins1]

I personally like the ones that have the cathedral type setting.

 

[js_diamond]

They''re all quite similiar and I love your choices. I love a thin band w/sidestones--very elegant. I love the Ritani and the williow the best, though.

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

I''m going to be different here...

I like the Knox Milano (#1 in post), the one from Firenze (#6), and the one from engagementringsdirect (#9). I think my favorite is the one from engagementringsdirect, but I also prefer fluid lines more than stark solitaires that sit up really tall and look like a weapon.

 

[evilin]

Thank you very much, your opinion helps me a lot
