Which ring?

[ErickandCrystal]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to decide which three stone ring is a better?

OR...

These are both three stone, trellis settings, in platinum. I would love to find palladium but I have a hard time matching the setting and quality diamonds I want. Any help or alternative suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know if BN diamonds have hearts and arrows?

Thanks,
Crys

What about G SI2 diamonds? I''ve been reading that you can''t really tell the difference and they''re cheaper.

Hi ErickandCrystal,

We need the angles for at least the centre diamonds if possible to be able to judge the cut, can you get that info?

SI2 - ( GIA or AGS graded) can be extremely eyeclean in some cases, always check with the vendor who can physically see the diamond that it meets your expectations concerning this.

lol...I have no idea what an angle is. Where can I find that?

This page explains about crown and pavilion angles, these are the angles you see on a diamond which slope upwards and downwards when viewing the diamond - see the diagram. http://diamonds.pricescope.com/crn_pav.asp

I take it the diamonds you listed have GIA reports for the centre stones? You can find the crown and pavilion angles on the grading report on the diamond diagram to the right of the report.
