Hey Guys! I am looking to get this setting pretty soon. My question is, do you think it would look better with a princess or radiant diamond in it? Do you guys like the setting? What''s the smallest size I could put in it without it looking tiny? Thanks for your help! As always!!!

I like it... I think either princess or radiant would look good but I do believe that you would be able to find a well cut princess easier and faster than than a well cut radiant. I personally think .75 and up would look best in this setting bc the sidestones look a little bigger but a very nice setting none the less

I was thinking the side stones looked a little bigger as well. I like them though, but I was worried that the center diamond would look tiny. I''m looking for a round a 1.14-1.15, so hopefully it will work.

So one vote for princess, any others?

I''m going to see my jeweler in a few weeks to check out some more princesses and radiants. I had originally settled on a princess, but had buyers remorse and felt like I hadn''t check out as many as I should have....
 
I agree with Mrs W - I think it would best (especially with those type of prongs) to have a princess. And ditto to the centerstone size. I think anything below a .8 or so might look a bit overwhelmed by the sidestones.

Very pretty setting profile.
 
I agree with the ladies! Either stone would look good in it but it would be easier to find a princess on-line then a
radiant.
 
Thanks for the support! I hadn''t even thought of the prongs!
 
Stupid question. Is the diamond in the Verragio picture a princess or radiant. I''m guessing princess, but I''m not for sure. Thanks guys!
 
Probably a princess.
 
The stone in the picture looks like a princess to me and personally thats what I would put in it. I agree there''s a lot more consistency to a princess I also just like them better, but thats just my personal opinion. I think you will be totally fine if you''re looking for a stone above a carat. The center stone will not be overwhelmed at all.
 
I prefer the square radiant.
 
Definitely a princess!
 
Hey, so did you ever end up getting this setting? What stone did you go with? Any pics of the actual ring?

noob2010. I''m sorry, I wasn''t ignoring you. For some reason I don''t receive notifications when someone replies. My apologies. I haven''t gotten this ring yet :-( It is at Verragio getting set, but I''m not sure when I''ll be getting it once it''s back to SB anyway. I went with the princess instead of the radiant since I heard (from here) how hard it is to find a quality radiant. I figured my chances were better with a Princess. But I did look at radiants while I was there. They were so pretty, but I was very surprised at how much smaller they looked than princesses. I looked at a 1.20 radiant that looked much smaller that a 1.14 princess right next to it. I will def. post pictures when I get it.

Another strange note is that when I go to Verragio''s website and click on the 7005 now, it has changed. It use to have 6 little diamonds going down the side and now it shows 5 diamonds instead. Same total carat weight though. Very strange. I had the original 7005 pic saved on my computer, and my jeweler assured me that he ordered me the one with 6 smaller diamonds on each side instead of 5 slightly larger diamonds on each side....
 
Can''t wait to see the ring! Hope you got exactly the one you wanted!

Hey amyholder, no worries. The email notification doesn''t work for me either so I can''t keep track of half the posts I reply to.

Anyhow, I ended getting the 7005 also. I was told by the vendor that there would be 6 stones on each side, but wouldn''t mind 5 larger stones either. I''m going to contact verragio to see what they have to say.

Noob- I''m so excited to hear that you are getting the 7005 as well! I searched on-line forever for anyone IRL, and I couldn''t find anyone that has the ring. I was getting worried since it doesn''t seem to be a popular ring. I would love to see pics when you get it. I have a feeling mine is going to be a little while. I would also be interested in what you''re going to do about a WB. I''m torn. I was thinking the matching one from Verragio, a small plain WG band or maybe even a bank with alternating colors with the diamonds (pink or aqua). I tried on both the 5 stone and 6 stone on each side of the Verragio. I liked the 6 stone much better. More dainty.....Glad to see there is someone else out there that likes the ring!!!
 
I would go with the princess. Anything 1 ct or better would be stunning.
 
Amy, did you notice if the stones on the band with 5 were actually larger than the one with 6?

I''ll definitely post pics once I get it... probably won''t be for another month though. When do you plan on getting yours?

As far as the band goes, I''ll let her decide :)

Yes, the 5 stones were larger than the one with 6 stones. That''s why I liked it better. I thought the smaller diamonds on the band were daintier (is that a word) and more feminine than the 5 larger stones. I hope she loves it. I''m not sure when I''m getting mine though. He hasn''t really said other than the fact that SB called and said it was back from Verragio. What diamond did you end up getting? We picked out a princess. I believe it is a 1.15 E colored........
 
Noob and Amy, please post when you get them!

Amy I sense a Christmas or New Years proposal

She was undecided between a radiant, princess and a round. After looking at all three numerous times, she finally decided that she liked the way a round looked best.
 
YAY Verragio!!! I actually saw this ring when I picked out mine and the princess cut that the jeweler had set in it was beautiful!
