Which is better as an engagement ring?

The Pompeii. A 2 ct marquise solitaire on a prong setting is built as an engagement ring, and it can be resized. The Sorel is a wide unisex band, better as a statement or anniversary ring.

Which is better for everyday wear?

The Sorel's flush-set stone snags less, but its 13 mm band is heavy and wide. The Pompeii is lighter, though its tall prongs catch on knitwear and hair.

Is the Sorel's diamond too small?

It is a 3 mm, 0.18 ct stone, so it reads as a geometric accent, not a center stone. If you want the diamond to dominate, the Pompeii's 2 ct marquise does that.

Is 18k white gold better than 14k?

18k has more gold and a warmer white tone but scratches more easily. 14k is harder and holds up better in daily wear, which suits the Pompeii's engagement role.

Is the Pompeii worth stepping up to?

If a large center diamond matters, yes. You get 2 ct against 0.18 ct, plus resizing and a US-made warranty. If you want a sculptural band, the Sorel is the better fit.

Can the Sorel be resized?

It is made to your chosen US size at order, and Capucinne takes custom requests. Resizing a 13 mm slotted band afterward is difficult, so order the right size.
