I like this one too, it's virtually the same but the center is a radiant cut.

I think I want a combination of the two settings with an August vintage cushion. And the diamonds 3/4 around the band.
Which do you prefer?
I think that they are perfect because the only thing I didn't like about the soleste is the double halo, so I wanted a single but I can't justify paying 25,000 on a 1 carat from HW!
I prefer the first one for sure. Not sure if I would do a halo on something over 2 carats as to not distract from the stone, but the first one is def my fave! I also did 3/4 around the band so that I could resize in the future without messing with the diamonds too much. I will likely do it with my wedding band too.
GOG is closed Sunday and Monday I think?
Marie handles settings and Sarah handles most diamond purchasing.
If u see an august vintage diamond that you like, be sure to put a deposit down because they aren't as readily available as other cuts and people often aren't able to get their desired clarity and color combos. And if u don't see what u like in their inventory, it's very hard to gauge when new shipments will arrive and whether or not the shipment will have what u want.

I think I prefer the halo on the second one. Im going to look into the difference in radiant and cushion cuts. Any opinions? I know that if I go radiant, i'll lose the august vintage diamond.
me too! I stumbled apon the second one today, but I think I prefer how the second halo seems to be more.. set into the setting, like the soleste, and the first one shows more of the diamonds in the halo rather than... I don't know how to explain it? I feel like they stand out more and there for it almost looks a bit cheaper? Not that it looks cheap AT ALL, but its like if you go into a cheaper jewelry store, they use large stones for the halo and it looks almost like a flower? Does that make any sense at all?? lol
I like the halo on the second one as well, it looks a bit more delicate.
my yellow diamond ring is a cushion radiant cut and I love the way it throws light, but I do love the AVC's the pastel coloured fire and cutting is gorgeous!!
GOG is closed Sunday and Monday, and yes Marie is incharge of Settings and Sarah is usually involved with diamond stuff. Jon runs the whole place, does videos and a lot of testing. He occasionally will get involved with stones. I work with him directly usually, but again, I have history there. Sarah is great to work with and no one there will push you out of budget. If you don't get an email back by end of day Tuesday, call there because you might be caught in spam.
The GOG ones are STUNNING! WOW. I actually prefer #2 but would drool over either one forever!!! Let me know what Sherway said... but as far as I know it's really Bloor St. that does the servicing. They did an independent appraisal of my original non-branded ring no problem.
How much are those GOG ones?? They are to die for!!!

I am excited that you are looking at Good Old Gold too. I browse their website all the time. I love all the informational videos. Their diamonds are so perfect.
You would get so much bang for your buck too! More than you would with Tiffany's or even Blue Nile.
Have fun shopping!
