hi,
I have finally picked a diamond and I can''t decide if I want the Vatche x prong or the royal crown. I went into the city today and saw both in person and they are both so nice. Please help me choose!

Hi Kayla,

I've been debating the same thing. Both look great to me although I haven't seen them in person. Does the Royal Crown hold the stone higher than the X Prong?

yes, the royal crown is higher. The store I am purchasing from recommends the x prong. When I saw both, I felt that the x prong is sturdier, with stronger prongs, while the rc is more delicate and thinner. Also, the prongs on the rc that I was shown were not spaced well, almost misaligned. Until I saw both, I had my mind made up on the rc, but now I am not sure. When I was at the store, I asked a woman which one looked nicer and she picked the rc. It's so hard to decide!
