Skinny Flora vs. Skinny Alberta
Two classic round cut rings! Skinny Flora features an open cathedral gallery, while Skinny Alberta shows off a closed cathedral basket. Given their basket styles, you can pair more straight bands that will sit flush with Skinny Flora compared to Skinny Alberta, which will have a slight gap between the band and the engagement ring.
Speaking of bands, while both rings don plain shanks, Skinny Alberta’s band width is the same all the way around, and Skinny Flora features a reversed tapered shank. What does this mean exactly? This means that the band appears “thinner” as it gets closer to the center stone.

Tabitha vs. Toni
The perfect pears! These two rings only have one difference between them, and that is their basket style. Tabitha rocks an open cathedral, while Toni has a peg basket. The similarity between these two is that they both feature diamonds halfway down their shanks!

Marcelle vs. Heidi
Chic cushion stunners! While these two look pretty much the same from the top, taking a glance at them from the side will show their obvious differences. Marcelle is an open cathedral basket while Heidi is a peg style with no cathedral. For the diamonds on the shank, both rings feature them halfway down the band. However, Marcelle’s are in a shared prong style while Heidi’s are set in a pavé fashion.
Marcelle also happens to be rimless, which allows more light into the stone. Bring on the sparkle and shine! Heidi has encrusted pavé diamonds on her rim and basket that will give you that little extra sparkle you desire. Which one will require more maintenance? Cushion rings in general require more frequent stone tightening's, but Heidi here will require more maintenance and mindful wear due to all the stones.

Bridgette vs. Natalia
Bridgette and Natalia are 3 stone heavenly halo rings! Bridgette features a low-set open cathedral, while Natalia has a lifted open cathedral. Another difference between these two engagement rings is that Bridgette’s side stones are inset the halo and Natalia’s are offset. Lastly, the diamonds in Natalia’s halo are a bit smaller than Bridgette’s.

Kubian vs. Kimberly
Two round halo delights! The differences between Kimberly and Kubian all boil down to their basket and shank styles. Kubian features a protective cathedral basket and Kimberly has an open cathedral gallery. When looking at the diamonds on their shanks, Kubian’s diamonds go ½ down the band while Kimberly’s go ¾ down. Maintenance wise, Kubian will require less maintenance compared to Kimberly.

Viola vs. Skylar
For these oval cut rings, the difference comes from how the diamonds are showcased around the center stone. Viola has a hidden halo, or collar halo, that wraps around her prongs. Skylar on the other hand has a diamond rim. A similarity between these rings is that they both have plain, rounded shanks.

Dakota vs Harper
Dakota and Harper may look like your average oval solitaire rings, but one has a little special touch to it! When turned to the side, you will notice that Harper has pavé encrusted diamonds on both her prongs and rim. Both of these rings are peg style and have a plain, rounded shank.
