Hi Everyone,
I''ve been lurking here for awhile and now I have a dilemma.
Our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up in July and the plan was always to upgrade my setting but not my diamond. The diamond would be upgraded later. 2-3-5 years from now. I''m in no hurry.
So, I found the perfect setting, I''ve been eyeing it for 6 months. I''ve tried on a ton of settings and I keep going back to this one. It''s a Simon G, I''ll TRY to post a picture, not sure if it''ll work.
The diamond in my e-ring is .74 ct and I don''t know the #''s but it''s a beautiful stone. I''ve loved it since day one, it''s firey, it sparkles, I get compliments on my current ring all the time.
The Simon G setting is meant to have a 1 ct diamond. There are ways to fit my stone into the setting and make it work. But, I don''t want to "fudge things" to make it work. We''ve looked at a handful of diamonds too and after much reading (on this site) and much consideration, we found the perfect stone. I don''t have the details with me. 1.08 ct, VS2, H, with a depth of 61.6% and a table of 58 point something. (1 ct is a fine upgrade with me too, I feel "silly" with HUGE rocks on my finger, it''s just not me).
Our jeweler will give us $$$ for my diamond in trade. And...I was all set to do it. But, it''s been a struggle. I thought I could give my stone up but now I''m not sure I can.
Who has traded their e-ring diamonds for an upgrade? Do people really trade them in or do you all KEEP your first stone?
I always thought I''d keep mine, I always planned to keep mine. But since we''re upgrading to a new stone before I thought we would, trading my e-ring stone in is sort of necessary.
I''m losing SLEEP over this, if you can believe it. I''m thrilled about the new ring. But, I''m struggling with giving up the stone that''s been on my finger and with me EVERYWHERE for the past 11.5 years...thru engagement and marriage.
Ok, going to TRY to post my setting...
Any input? SELL IT cause "it''s just a thing" or try to keep it cause I''ll regret giving it up for the rest of my life? (Dramatic, I know...)
Thanks!
Wendy
