That is a very pretty ring.  I like it a lot!  Includsions are a personal thing, but for me that is the perfect type of inclusion.  I don't do well with the black carbon spots, but imperfections like this blend away and are so much harder to see.

I love th color of this stone as well.

Funny enough I usd to waffle between a 3 stone much like this and a halo, so I think going from a halo to this isn't much of a stretch.  Each gives more finger coverage and is a very classic look.

I can understand getting for different this time around, but at the same time of shows you have kept constant in your tastes.

That said I do absolutely love the new ring you linked to and probably better than the first. The lines are just stunning on it.

I had you on being indecisive though I am so bad at that myself.  It took me a half to decide how to set my stone.

OK....We can work this out.  First off...is there any way that you like this one?

GIAGirl- UHMMM This was my honest reaction when gazing upon that ring.......  !!  How in the world did I miss that big beauty when I was looking at the others. What a huge oversight on my part. Great, now you've managed to make this an even more difficult decision for me haha. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you  . I know what an ingrate right.  Let's add that one to the mix and see what our friends think. I also love the size of that center stone as well. You caught me I'm a size queen. I love a nice big 2ct. center stone. What a pretty color as well. All joking aside thank you so much for taking the time to post.

               You're all so helpful on here.
  Love me some DBL Forum!!

Clg- I tend to lean towards the second, like you, as well. It's the sparkle that just draws me in but then again that third choice has both sparkle and color. Not too much color but just enough. Oh decisions, decisions. What's a girl to do??

The fact that you can add some stackers to your ring is another huge draw to that style. I love the versatility that comes with it. You could buy a couple more rings and have so many options. I totally dig that aspect!

Size HO's stick together! 

Kris after wearing a ring with a gap between the wedding band and the ring had me realize I really wanted a ring that allowed for a wedding band to sit flush with it.  I think that is what ultimately killed the idea of a 3 stone for me.  In order to get that, the ring would have had to be too high off the finger so I nixed it.

You need to pick which one makes your heart sing.  The first one is a nice color really.  It's deep in color but not too much and that brown helps it have more of a golden color IMO.  Are you okay with the clarity?  That's the big one for me with the first one you should decide on.

The 2nd one is very beautiful, but is the price too much?  Is it worth it to get a larger stone where the coverage will be even greater?  Due to the cut of the 2nd it will have noticably more finger coverage from the main stone a lone IMO.  You are also getting platinum vs white gold.  Which do you like?

If you are okay with the price then I'd consider the Daussi as well.  At that point I would ask David for side by side photos and some more videos to see which I would pick.

That's what I would do if I really had to decide. 

Of course I would also rather win the lottery and buy all three

Webmisstress that emerald is stunning.  So unique and beautiful.

Also,  can we get two? 

We could get the first one and then this one...

Well, you all lucked-out. I wrote a really long response awhile back, and then erased it all by mistake before posting. Basically, I wrote that there is not a bad choice in the bunch. I mean, really, you can't go wrong with ANY of the rings mentioned; each is beautiful and well-crafted.

Kris, are you able to prioritize your wants... ie, which comes first – ring style, diamond color, size, clarity, and etc.? Try to put the ring/diamond characteristics in order of most important to lease important. Then, apply what you know to the choices at hand. Be ruthless.

Why did you mention the halo and then step away to the three-stone style? Did you initially want a halo? Or, did you just desire something different? If you don't get something different, or follow your first inclination, will the "need" still be there after your purchase of something else?

Open your virtual jewelry box and imagine, one at a time, each ring contender sitting between the jewelry that you already have. Which piece will make you smile? Which will you not be able to resist? Which piece will you MISS MOST if you do not buy it?

Then you can have a necklace made with this one for a wedding pressy!

My head is spinning haha. I'm so confused as to what to do. I keep going back and forth on the clarity issue. It doesn't have any black carbon spots which would have been a total deal breaker for me, so Idk. I keep going back and looking at the first ring and I really do love it. Then I look at the second and those side stones are to die for. Overall it's a beautifully crafted ring but like we have said it's a lot more expensive than the first. Then there is the third, the daussi is really everything all in one but it's more expensive than the second. My money tree has unfortunately been depleted. Three little girls will do it to you every time, am I right!?

I have thought for the last year that I would end up with a halo style setting. I still think that's where my heart is to an extent but it's not like this is the last ring I will ever purchase. I'm starting to get on my own nerves with this whole thing  I have to call David this week to check on my girlfriends ER and see how it's coming along. So, I think I will chat with him about the first ring and to be honest if he says it's gorgeous and that the clarity really isn't an issue then I think I might go for it. I just love the color of that center stone and the price...I mean really? The price is unbelievable in my opinion.

I soooo appreciate all of you taking the time to help me out and comment. Your all so sweet to invest time into people that you have never met. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ALL!!

Lovecolor- I thought of that exact same thing. Hopefully by the time I'm ready for another I'll be able to afford to keep it and add to my collection! I will let everyone know what The big guy has to say. Thanks LC
