WF ACA or SP Facets for five-stone ring?

[jo_c]

About 1 ctw. I dont have a price from SP yet with the G-H VS stone quality (trying to get it near $2K) .. how long does that take anyway!

, ***versus**** Whiteflash''s ACA 1 ctw five band shared prong ring? Their site doesnt give specifics on the stones, its just a listing. Im guessing the WF ring will be a smidge more, $200 maybe.

Heres pics of the settings...

So, assuming there isnt a big difference in the stone clarity and color...which cut is better? Im guessing WF, but Whiteflash return policy is certainly not as friendly. Is a poor schmuck like me really gonna notice the difference, especially with the smaller stones? I think the return policy would help me sleep at night

Thanks!

Hrmmm unless I am much mistaken WF has a 10 day return policy from when you get your parcel it is not 30 days but I would not say it was terrible

From the pictures I would prefer the WF one

But it really depends on what you like

Jo -- Sorry but I think that both of those choices are lovely. I know that that doesn''t help you out decision wise... At least you know that maybe, either way you go, it will be a good decision?

The WF ring has ACA, F/G, VS diamonds. Since it would be around the same price, I'd go with the WF one. I also prefer the WF ring from looking at the pictures. I'm sure you'd be able to return the ring during the 10-day trial period if you don't love it. Please come back with pictures. We would love to see what you end up getting!

They are both lovely. I prefer the SP one, have seen these in real life, the photos dont do it justice. However, again, both are lovely, and it is a matter of price and the type ofs stones you want.
good luck

both are really nice and either would be great and there are many pricescopers who have purchased bands from both companies and been very happy. you really can''t go wrong with either. don''t know if it matters or not but signedpieces used to have an upgrade policy on their eternity bands so if you decided down the road you wanted bigger stones they''d take the one you bought back on a trade

Well...

I ordered the WF ACA five stone 1 ctw today. I seriously cannot wait. My anniversary is in March which was the intended purpose for getting the ring, but if hubby makes me wait, I will literally

. Theres actually a good chance it will be here before Christmas even...WOW! Very very excited!

Several things made me choose WF...

Jamie at Whiteflash was so great answering all my constant questions...Im sure you can imagine

The same ring (pretty much) on SP was $400 more and I was trying to work it down by compromising color and clarity.
This ring should ship in 5-7 days versus SP three-four weeks.
Its the tcw that I tried on locally, and I know I love.
Plus, no response from SP yet anyway.

Decision DONE.

Merry Christmas to me...

merry christmas to me... la de da

Thanks so much for all your help!!!

Mrssalvo--That cute dog with the santa hat just makes me grin ear to ear every time I see it. If thats your "puppy", give him an ear scratch for me.

Thanks again everyone!
