Thoughts on this James Allen setting with a princess

[Shoopy]

I''ve been looking at some settings online. I love bow tie settings and was happy to see that James Allen offered the same style. I would like a princess because I love princess diamonds. What are your thoughts on this setting with a princess diamond? Should we pair instead with a rb?

OH...I am afraid I do not know this James Allen. Is he a Master Jeweler? What kind of designs does he do?

I think the setting looks beautiful with a princess. I quite like mixing shapes. My e-ring is a princess solitaire and my wedding ring has RBs. I love the strong shape of the princess cut, and at the same time I love the brilliance and sparkle of the RBs.

Best might be if you could go and have a look into jewellery stores to see if you wouldn''t mind the look of RBs and princess together.

Happy shopping!!! Very exciting!

That is an absolutely beautiful ring! I think it''s fine to mix shapes. My e-ring is a princess center with little round melees in pave. Good luck with your hunt!

My previous ER was a princess with round side stones. I like this setting. If you like the combination then go for it!

I think it''s perfectly fine to mix shapes. If you are interested in a princess stone, I recommend the whiteflash ACA princess. I personally am not a huge fan of princess cuts, particularly because I haven''t seen many great ones - but the ACA princess stones are amazing!!! A friend of mine has one and it is incredibly brilliant!

Good luck!

Very pretty. I think it''s ok to mix stone shapes, my E-ring is an Emerald Cut and the side diamonds and diamond on wedding bands are rounds. Looks good to me.

JA is quite a popular PS vendor for both diamonds and settings.
