Tapered Baguettes with small rounds before or after the baguettes?

[lingpanda01]

What do you think is better? The rounds coming after the baguettes? Or before the baguettes right next to the center diamond?

Small rounds after the baguette:

And with small rounds next to the center:

Personally I like them after the baguettes. Both are nice though. What type of stone are you planning on using as a centerstone?

I prefer the first one (rounds after the baguettes). The other way around looks like there is a lot going on
up by the head that may distract from your main stone. Or, depending on the size of your main stone may
not even be seen?

I *really* like the look of an emerald with baguettes on the side. But if I do choose this setting, I''m just going to play it safe and get a round diamond.

I like the first setting bettter

If your center is round, the I prefer the small rounds after.

I like the small rounds after the baguettes. Here are three other choices of this design. Please comment if you like any one of them.

The first one is what I prefer most. It has long baguettes followed by three smaller rounds.

This second design has smaller baguettes and one larger size round.

Here is the least expensive design from BN. You can get $100 off with a coupon code.

Hope these additional choices help.

Thanks FancyDiamond. I think I like the last one best. I just need something simple.

And it looks like everybody prefers the round diamonds after the baguettes. The more I look at it, I prefer it, too. Thanks guys. I''m closing in on the final decision of an e-ring!!!

I like the first one with the baguettes and then the 3 rounds down each side. Looks more feminine and distinctive to me!

You mean the small diamonds before the baguettes look cheap? The small diamonds after the baguettes don''t look cheap, right?

I liked the first one FancyDiamond posted. I don''t like the stumpy baguettes in the second. The Blue Nile one is okay except I really dislike the profile view since it''s just plain bars. I like the profile to look like this:

You see how there's a little gap and bar on top of the shank whereas with the Blue Nile one, the baguettes directly sits on the shank.
