What setting looks best? Rose gold graduated halo or yellow gold with 3 side diamonds on each side? Maintenance is not an issue for me. Thank you!

im not a a halo girl so i love the side stones
 
Flattering in what sense? Like…for fingers? Or flattering as in style?

To be honest, the graduated halo is a very trendy look and I think already looks a little dated. Sorry, this is my personal preference.

I think the other setting is much more elegant and will stand the test of time far better. I like it a lot more overall and it highlights the center stone more

The only graduated halo I’ve seen that I think is really elegant is this one from Erika Winters

 
I love the side stones version - to my eye it is flattering to both the center diamond and the finger. It is a timeless design that looks elegant and sparkle-fest-y. I would love it even more in rose gold vs. yellow gold.
 
I definitely prefer the side stone one
 
I personally think the oval gets lost in the halo. With the other setting, the side stones complement the oval shape while still letting the oval be the star.
 
Side stone version
 
I’m coming to the conclusion that I can’t stand anything which doesn’t cover my finger from side to side. Am just about to have a ring re-shanked to twist it east west because I find the stone going down the middle of my finger just makes my fingers look chubby.
 
What shape is the center stone?
 
Side
 
I personally think the oval gets lost in the halo. With the other setting, the side stones complement the oval shape while still letting the oval be the star.

Ditto this
 
I'm a sidestone kid, but it really is whatever you prefer. It's your ring!
What do you love?
 
I really like it with the side stones - makes a beautiful presentation. The halo changes the shape of the ring to be more marquise - I feel like the shape of the oval gets lost in it.
 
Halo, although even more graduation would be pretty.
 
I like the side stone setting. However, I like the way the rose gold looks with your skin tone. Perhaps doing the side stone setting in rose gold would be pretty?
 
A agree about the rose gold looking more complimentary with your complexion! Also the halo does not look oval in shape.
 
Would you mind sharing who is the maker of the rings?
