Which out of these 2?

Hi Everyone,

I'd really appreciate your help to choose between 2 diamonds and 2 settings.

Diamonds
So after all the great advice on here, it's looking likely that I will buy the engagement ring from Brian Gavin.

The 2 signature diamonds within my $8.5k budget that have been recommended to me as being eye-clean SI1 diamonds are below:

1.024 H, SI1, $7,436

1.010 G, SI1, $7,523

Settings
One is a Brian Gavin setting and the other is a setting I have found in a UK jeweller than Brian Gavin could replicate.

Tiffany style half round platinum (probably the safe option)

Solitaire twist (slightly more unique)

As always, any thoughts / views / opinions etc. very welcome and appreciated!!

Thanks,

Ryan

Of those 2 diamonds, definitely the H. The cloud in the G was so much more obvious in the center.

I liked the unique twist setting better.
