I'm between the .33 and the .57. .33 is 1.9mm in width and the .57 is 2.0 mm in width. My engagement ring is about 2.0, I believe.

here is my engagement ring setting with a .81 Radiant Diamond

Please suggest what you think is best! I've tired on comparable ones in the stores, but found that the employees couldn't tell me the widths of the bands, so I fear choosing the wrong one (and am in a time crunch to get something)

I find 3 pointers to be far sparklier than 1.5 pointers, so I would go for the 0.57ctw band especially since there is only a 0.3mm increase in width in the rings whereas 1.5 to 3 pointers is a 0.5mm difference so you get more diamond with less metal!

Thanks! I never even thought about the difference in the sparkliness of the diamonds!

I would chat with a JA rep and see if you could purchase both with the intention of returning one. This way you can see them both in person and you'll be able to to make the most informed decision.

I have done that, and it is an option..we just aren't quite in a place to put out so much money at one point for buying two, I wish though!

Agreed, get the 3 pointers.
