Poll - Narrowing down the setting

[BlingBling87]

I am trying to decide between these two settings. Any thoughts on if one is higher quality over the other?.... I will be putting a 1.3 carat round diamond in one of these thanks!

Top one. Like the style of melee. Bottom is too busy.

Do you have a top view of the bottom setting?

I like the Jack Kelege one. I like that type of pave

I would ask for the width of the Jack Kelege setting. Settings under 1.8 mm are generally not advised, especially when they have pave.

You should also know that the side pave is likely to rub up against the wedding ring.

I personally like:

It is around 1.6mm when i saw it in person.

Any thoughts on this stone as well?

Love the Jack Kelege setting much more. It's gorgeous!

1.6 ummm I personally would be very cautious buying a ring that is that thin with pave on it . . . durability could be a potential issue.

the stone:
Very well cut obviously just check check double check for the SI2 to be sure it is eye clean to your standards. I didn't see a copy of the AGS/GIA cert but you also want to make sure that "Clarity grade is based on clouds that are not shown" is NOT present that may diminish light performance in a stone that is SI2
another option if the one from GOG is not eye clean to your standards

I know it's a risk but I really love thin bands. I emailed good old gold to get the stone checked out. I would prefer to not go below H just bc of my own color sensitivity.

I would not buy either.

The Jack K. is way too narrow. It WILL break and have issues.

I think there are nicer ones than number 2 out there.

I'd personally go custom from Victor C.
