So torn between these 2 rings. I love the darker pink on the left one but the larger diamond on the other. The whole point is the pink but not sure if I'll be happy with the smaller diamond over time. IMG_1477883913.277511.jpgWhich would you pick?

In general, I prefer the one on the right. The larger center stone looks whiter and I like the lighter hue of the pink diamonds.

Your preference is a mix of the two, so I would try and get that. I don't know if they would do something like this, but could you ask if the one on the right can be reset with "darker" pink stones? It's worth a shot to ask. I would assume if the ring was the wrong size, it would need to be reset anyway. Maybe they will do it for you! :biggrin:

Thank you. I did ask but she said it would cost to do that. [emoji19]

The one on the left! I like the more square shape and the size of the diamond, I do think the diamond on the right looks brighter but the one on the left is my favorite.

I think the left one is just as bright as the right in real life. They are both G in the first picture. Maybe it is the slight angle of the left one. Here is the same one on the left with the right new one is an I color. IMG_1477886664.807757.jpg

lol I just needed to put my glasses on, that's what I get for being on here in bed [emoji23] but now that I'm looking I think the right one. The hue of the pink looks more pink and less dark, can't go wrong with either though.

I actually have been going through the same thing ever since I got my engagement ring over 5 years ago. My husband surprised me with a fancy light yellow solitaire diamond and I've been trying to decide for over 5 years now if I would have preferred a more deeply yellow, but smaller stone. When I go see the deeper yellow stones in person, I love them and the color is so gorgeous, but in the end, I'm happy with my larger lighter yellow stone and think my hubby made the right call. Hope this helps! You really can't go wrong though, both rings are gorgeous! Let us know what you decide!

[emoji846] Yes, they are all gorgeous. The first picture I posted is: left .73 G VVS1 $14,400, right .92 G VS1 $16,800. The second picture is: left .73 G VVS1, right .92 I, VVS2 $15,500. This is my right hand ring and I'm going for value. GHI are all near colorless. So on paper I should go for the .92 I color but I like the other two rings more. I need to ask how the upgrade program works I think.

I also got to try on a 2 carat all white D IF ring that costs about $180k!! [emoji846]

Yea, it probably is just the lighting/angle. The left .73 looks darker in both to me too. I'm sure it looks different in person if it's a G.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised they want to charge you for redoing the setting. If I may, how much would that cost?

In the pictures you posted I don't see a difference between the .92 G and I. The price difference is not huge in consideration to the cost of the ring. I would go for the one you love, or ask for more stock to be sent to your store? I've only come across the white soleste in person, but I'm sure the pink one is gorgeous in person!
