solitaire or clusters of small diamonds?

Question

when it comes to wedding rings which would you think cost the most solitaire or little diamonds that appear to be bigger than a solitaire but actually they sit high in between the wedding band giving the affect that its huge

Answer 1

Solitaires are more expensive than clusters of diamonds and in my opinion much more elegant. But, if $$$ is an issue there are very nice cluster rings. I have a cluster but hoping one day for the perfect solitaire.

Answer 2

Solitaire. Small diamonds tend to have more imperfections and are not worth as much. Of course you can always get a solitaire with small diamonds surrounding it :-)

Answer 3

Depends on the quality of the stone. Most likely the solitaire would be more expensive, but if it was a very low quality stone and the small stones were very high quality, it could be the other way around.

Answer 4

A solitaire would cost the most, but it will also hold its value. The smaller diamonds will not.

Answer 5

solitaire cost more. If you have a carat solitaire and a carat cluster the solitaire will most definitely cost more.

Answer 6

Solitaire since large stones are more rare than small stones and therefore more expensive.

Answer 7

Definately the solitare. The cluster type rings all look cheap (in my part of the country they are very popular among a certain group of people). I loved (divorced) my solitare it was small by todays standard 1/2 caret. but it still had a classy elegant look to it. It's not the size of the diamond or the # of diamonds, its the love behind it. If he picked it out by himself, more power to him, he's really wants to please you.
