I am officially a ‘waiting’ bee. I’ve given my BF a not so short shortlist and let him choose as he really wants to surprise me. In the meantime I am keeping myself sane by looking at ring porn!
I have short listed the stone to either an oval or an emerald cut diamond. I love the vintage look.
Just for fun, I’d love your opinion on both cuts. Which one would you prefer? Oval or emerald?

You can’t go wrong with either! I love them both. Have you actually tried some rings on with these shapes? That could make a huge difference. I thought I liked emeralds, but then I hated them on my finger when we went just to look.

mrsblueeyes : I know! I’d be happy with either. I tried on both styles and I’ve not got a preference. Weirdly it was more about the setting for me. With an oval I liked a dainty setting but with an emerald I thought I could get away with a chunkier setting. Either way, I know I’ll be delighted.

I vote oval because…sparkle, but I have also taken more of a liking to emeralds as of late (I used to hate them).

I love both, but if it were me I would go with an emerald cut. It is my favorite!

I have a very simple emerald with two baguettes. I love it and I think it really suits me. My little sister got engaged a few months after I did and she got an oval with a diamond band, which really suits her!

Love both but I am not a fan of emerald cuts in halos. If you go halo go oval.

havenspartyof2 : I think your Galois one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I also love the knife edge band, this is the first time I have seen this done with a halo.
