I think you should go with the princess if it makes your heart sing as you say! You’ve had a round before right? switch it up :smile:

I’ve always had rounds. solitaire, solitaire with side stones on band, 3 stone, round with round halo, round with cushion halo. I guess in a way I want different. But l do want something I won’t tire of too quickly.

I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!! These are my two dream sets. :love::girlsigh::loveeyes::panic:

I have a Tiffany diamond princess cut solitaire and have always wanted the Tiffany princess cut channel set wedding band.

Princess cuts are very sparkly, too. :biggrin: I heard that for the same carat weight, a brilliant cut will look larger than a princess cut. Brilliant cuts are also usually more expensive than princess cuts for the same carat weight.

Good luck deciding! What an exciting choice!

Thank you! I love them both as well, but there’s just something about the princess with princess band!
Saturday my DH sent me to his jeweler to drop off his diamond bracelet to be re rhodiumed and polished and his jeweler just started assaulting me with large stones. I had a feeling my DH set me up (perhaps as a VDay surprise). I sat him down Sunday and explained that if we’re going to spend this type of money on a single stone I want to be involved from start to finish so that I’ll love my ring. I’ve looked at many vendors online and in stores to get a feel for size, and color within our budget. I’ve learned that in round I want no less than H in color and in princess I actually prefer a J or K, but I need VS in either.

HAHA! That is so sweet of your husband.

I agree that there is just "something" about a princess with a princess band! :girlsigh:

Hi Dynasty! We both love the same cuts of diamonds too [emoji5]

I was thinking about changing the sapphires in my ring to asscher cut diamonds. I did find a vintage asscher cut diamond ring at an estate shop not far from my home. I’m still deciding. Next year will be 25 years for us and we will be having a recommitment ceremony, so I will have to decide by then [emoji4] View attachment 3967540

I love emerald cut too and sapphire!!! Haha..
Your wedding set already so beautiful as it is now and I’m sure will look great with Asscher Cut too plus you’ll get fresh new look for your recommitment ceremony :heart:
Would love to know how you decide to do with it :smile:

Well, the princess is brilliant cut and is so pretty and sparkly; it really makes my heart sing! On the other hand, my practical side thinks the round gives me more options.

I’ve always been a round brilliant fan but the princess looks absolutely amazing on you. It’s still a solitaire so you’ll have plenty of options for a band, stacking bands, etc. I say go with emotion on this one!

I’ve been married for a little over 6 months, but just wanted to contribute! My e-ring stone is 1.31 e-ring, the band is around 0.24 (half eternity). My wedding band is 0.37. Both set in WG. The e-ring stone was given to my DH (then fiancé) by his grandmother, which makes it so special to me. I truly love both of them, they are my favorite things to wear daily, and probably my favorite things that I own. Thank you for letting me share! :smile:

Wow, I like your wedding band. Never seen a design like that. Your e-ring is great too!

I always advise going with what makes your heart sing. Practicality is good, but not at the cost of something that is meant to give you joy. Sigh with contentment, not meh.

I agree, but my issue is that I’m very fickle with jewelry. I’ve only had my current set for a year and though I love it I’ve grown bored with it.

I too have always loved rounds. The sparkle on the stone I’m interested in is beyond amazing! The princess also has great sparkle, but nowhere near the fire of the round. The reason I’m going with a plain solitaire (no sides stones) is so I can get multiple bands, wraps etc to switch it up at times. I wish I could buy both, if I step down to 1.2 I probably could get one of each.

Dynasty you are so kind, thank you so much. I’m going to stop by the vintage shop and take pictures of the two rings I’m deciding on, if I don’t change my current ring. The sapphires have really nice color to me, which is why I haven’t changed them out yet. I’ll post them after my visit to the store.
