Which is better for a promise ring?

The IceCarats open heart ring suits a promise ring better. It is slim, stacks with other bands and costs $159 at Distritech as of November 3.

Which has the better diamond?

The Brian Gavin ring. Its heart-cut lab grown stone is graded F/G color and VS clarity, while the IceCarats accent is G-H-I color and I1 clarity.

Is the Brian Gavin ring worth the extra money?

Yes if you want a heart-cut center stone with high color and clarity grades and engraving. No if you want a light, stackable band at a low price.

Both are solid 14K gold, so wear depends on care. The IceCarats band is thinner at 2 mm and its prong-set accent is more exposed; the Brian Gavin setting is taller at 7.16 mm and can catch on clothing.

Can I resize either ring?

The Brian Gavin ring comes in sizes 4.0-9.0 with larger sizes on request. The IceCarats ring is described as fitting most fingers without resizing.

Do they come in other gold colors?

The IceCarats ring is yellow gold and the Brian Gavin ring is white gold as listed. Neither page shows other metal colors.
