Help me pick one from the two rings (hopefully the last one)

Which ring would you choose?

  • A two-tone eternity band. It has diamond pavé infinity (G-I/I1 .25ct tw). Can change YG part into RG

  • U-Prong Seven-Stone Diamond from Bluenile. (I/SI2 .50ct tw). -$960


Results are only viewable after voting.
I personally have the second ring in platinum as a wedding band. (I think even the 14k version cost more than $1000. Is your price after discount?) I enjoy this ring bit don't recommend stacking because it'll scratch other rings. Which finger will you be wearing it?

I do think this ring is more like a wedding band though, and not the most comfortable to wear (I got used to it) because of the u prong setting. Part of the diamonds are exposed and you can feel the edges on other fingers. Maybe the 5 stone version fits better.

You can always order it and try it out. I know bluenile had very good return policy. Good luck!

Thanks! That's what kind of thought about, too. If I end up getting married, what will I do with this??

I replied to your PM, and added a few links to rings that while they look still slightly weddingbandy are made with better quality diamonds for around the same price point. You're concerned with the quality of these stones and with rightful cause, you don't know what you're getting. I don't think they'll use horrendous quality necessarily in the blue nile rings, but for that price point, I feel you should have more control over knowing that and at the very least, better clarity melee.

Obviously, I was seeing your PMs before I read this... Thanks for helping me, Ame!!
 
I think #1 is more unique, but it is a shame about the lower quality of diamonds.

The thing about #2 is that when you do end up getting married, if you're gravitating towards this style now, there's a good chance that you'll end up with a half eternity or full eternity as your wedding band, or at least in your wedding set. And that will likely be larger, nicer diamonds. Do you think that in the long run, you'll actually wear this for years to come? It's nice, but it's quite similar to what most people around here are getting for their wedding bands/anniversary bands, so it's not as special to me.

True. I was also wondering what will happen to this, if I ever get married.

If they can make option #1 with better melee it would be worth maybe looking into. Jewelers can source better than I1, and get premium melee. And its not that much more expensive, so make sure that they know you know that, and that you've priced that elsewhere, and can get it with better melee elsewhere for about the same price. It might be a negotiating tactic but see if it works.

I just called the jeweler and they will get back to me on Monday. The one I saw at the store was pretty but not that sparkly...even under that jeweler's lighting.
