Honestly I love them both. The Tacori looks very unique, delicate and elegant, the second one is definitely bigger, but also gorgeous.
I think you should pick the one you like more, especially that you'll wear it everyday for years and you should love it and feel confortable wearing it. It should just fit you and your style.
You did a right decision choosing Tacori. You loved it at first and I'm sure the diamond is going to look fabulous in this setting.
Can't wait to see the pics.

Hi Corsetted,
Good choice on the twisted setting, it's amazing.
Question for you: Where do you live that you can't get the actual Tacori? I only wonder because, as one second guesser to another, are you sure the copy will turn out to your satisfaction? I would say that I've never been satisfied with custom made/styled jewelry, but the the eternity band I just had made is perfect. So, new rule: Nothing is ever carved in stone

I'm in Singapore. The e-rings here tend to be in the style of the classic Tiffany six-prong. It's very elegant but I tend to like more ornate jewellery so it's been difficult finding something I like. So we hit upon the idea of of a custom-made ring. This jeweller has made numerous pieces for my future MIL. He even managed to replicate some super-ornate antique Asian jewelry for her, plus, he's ok with remaking the ring if I don't like the final product. So we'll see.
I saw a beautiful ring in another thread yesterday. Maybe for the far future?
It's a Leon Mege 1.24 carat with a micropave floating halo. Let me apologise in advance because I don't remember the name of the poster.

If you're going to worry about the halo style losing its charm after a while then I would go for the single stone. When I got engaged at the end of 2002 the trend was to have one center stone with smaller stones on either side. In the end, we went with a plain solitare. I'm glad we did, because now those types of settings already look dated to me.
It sounds like you picked out a BEAUTIFUL stone.
You shouldn't pick a setting to make it appear larger, you should pick a setting to showcase the beauty of the diamond itself. IMO, a colorless, VVS2 diamond shouldn't be allowed to be LOST in the business of a halo type setting.
I think the Tacori would add just the right amount of added sparkle without taking away from your center diamond.

Ah, your jeweler/designer sounds wonderful and your ring will be beautiful. I agree with you; Leon Mage rings are gorgeous, and when you presented your two choices, of course, I thought of him. However, as I said earlier, I know of at least two situaltions where that setting was problematic. That is, there were major issues with re-sizing and stone loss (from cleaning?) Also, Leon doesn't want his E rings worn with bands. Me, even after 25 years, I want the world to know I made it to the alter.

The tacori setting is gorgeous! I love the twisting on the sides! I'd say that with such a high quality diamond (good choice!) the tacori would probably be better, the other one might detract from your centre stone. And if that's the setting you picked first, then don't let the jeweller tell you otherwise- your first instinct is probably right!
