Which setting do you like best?

[autumngems]

I am getting a 3.02 ct round and am torn between the three settings below which would you choose?

I voted for the Julia because I love that from the top down it looks like a classic solitare but from the side it is a little bling surprize that is subtle but still blinging.

Make that 2 for the Julia. It's a very elegant setting with a twist. Love it!
Cannot wait to see your ring Autumn! So happy you found the diamond you wanted!!

For a modern round brilliant, I'd choose the classic Cartier basket. But for an OEC, I'd choose either of the other two. Makes a difference what kind of diamond it is for me.

#3 for Julia, I love that setting, but you three carat will be stunninging any of the three.

+1 (but also on the fence, as all three are lovely)

Plus I pick up my Julia next week (so I'm biased there too)

Julia hands down!

I do love the Julia, but the only issue for me would be 8 prongs--my choice would have to lean towards the classic Cartier--you can't go wrong with that choice, the shank is so elegant.

Julia with 6 prongs.

 

[PinkyPie]

Julia with 6 prongs.

PERFECTION

The Julia is one of my all time favorite settings, so this is super easy for me....JULIA! My second choice would be Vatche U113 or Caroline.

Julia hands down!

Another for the Julia!!!

 

[babs23r]

Julia all the way! What a gorgeous setting!!!!!!!

Julia! Julia! Julia! If I EVER get a solitaire! It will be the JULIA! GO FOR IT!

Juuuulia

I am leaning towards the julia as well. I like the number of prongs for security. I see 8 prongs, did someone say 6 prongs?

 

[Enerchi]

JULIA!!! Its just breathtaking and so soft, flowy and feminine. It just takes my breath away!! I love the pave on the basket and the curlicues... ah... sigh... drool!!

Awesome news about getting a honking new diamond!! Congrats on that!! I would guess, no matter which you finally decide on, it will be STUNNING!

 

[ecf8503]

Julia! But then I'm biased as I love mine.

 

[momhappy]

I prefer the Julia too. I'm not a fan of the Sophie due to the heart shapes (I don't care for heart jewelry on adults) and the final setting is pretty & classic, but a 3 carat round is special and your setting should be too

 

[woofmama]

Julia If I ever get a round that's my setting

I did! I'd ask if they could do 6 prongs instead of 8!

 

[VRBeauty]

I like the Julia - I think that setting provides nice balance for the large stone.

 

[autumngems]

Hmm I will have to see if they have pics with 6 prongs

 

[junebug17]

The modified Julia (no pave) has 6 prongs

I would think you could get the pave version with 6.

Julia...I love the 8 prongs...although the sophie in rose gold with pave shank is also a fav. of mine.
