Which engagement ring?

[Tiffanysmum]

Hey lovely MN ladies,

My lovely BIL has narrowed down 2 engagement ring choices for his gf.
She wants white gold/halo or pave or both. He's shown me the styles she likes and he's on the right tracks!
Which one in your opinion do you prefer? (there is a video of each ring under the pic if that helps).

ps ignore the cut/clarity as this will be changed it's just about the style.

thank you so much x

Second.

And I like that they are all conflict free. Not sure about the mining situation though, that's not clear.

Eek, I don't like either tbh, I think the first one is slightly better. Don't listen to me though, what will SHE like? Won't she like to choose her own?

Definitely the first one! Very pretty. There's nothing wrong with the second one, I just prefer the shape of the first.

I love the second one, the pear cut is lovely! But as PP said it's what she will like x

First one.

I prefer the first one definitely, but that’s mostly because I don’t like “pointy” shaped diamonds (clearly have no clue about jewellery 😂)

I would prefer the second one but this one is much classier I think:

Neither.

I second asking what bride to be likes. Propose with a haribo jelly ring or a toy ring. I never wear my engagement ring as while DH put loads of thought and love and money into it, it's not me.

Second by a mile

The first one

That store is great! Had amazing ones from there before. I like the second.

if you don't like either rings why comment?
I don't think a haribo ring would go down well. As stated he knows her style and these are the two to choose from. God some people are miserable!

Thank you everyone with positive/constructive feedback.

Both to blingy for me, but if it's what she likes, the second is nicer.

@Assistanttotheregionalmanager fabulous, thank you!🙂

Prefer the second one.

Why is he not taking her to a jeweller to choose her own? It’s an exciting thing to do!
For example I thought I wanted a cluster but ended up with a three stone diamonds on platinum because it suited my hand better.
A substitute fun ring for the proposal & than, ta da, a visit to local jeweller.
Tell him that 2nd hand, vintage rings are VAT free , if there’s a decent vintage jeweller locally.

Not that keen on either but definitely think the bride to be should be the one choosing. I prefer the one linked by @Tryhard40

Neither, first if I had to choose.

I vote for cheap ring for proposal & her to choose. She will be the one wearing it !

Second for me (though agree with pps that it needs to be which you/he thinks she'd prefer rather than which we like)

@Giveitall he has!
Like i said he knows her style but he is choosing.
Wow 😮why is there so much negativity or reading way too much into choosing a ring😅

Honestly cant praise them enough. Once ordered they send you regular updates of where they are in the making process and estimated deliveries etc. Their customer service also get back to you almost instantly with any queries.
