I am seriously considering sending my diamond back to WF to change the setting..... I had originally decided to keep this stone for a couple of months - then go up to a 1.2 in time for our vow renewal, but now I have my diamond I don''t know if I want to change it. Its just so sparkley.....
I definitely want a 6 prong setting though, and I love yours!

I was thinking about you earlier and what I would do if I were you.
[DH refuses to change my stone. So I will never be in your position. But it is not all bad news for me as he has promised that I can have a 2-3ct pear or 2+ round in a couple of years]
Are you in your 10 days? Are you thinking of sending the setting back and switching for my one? It is not cheap. Will WF be able to amend the head should your diamond grow? Is there a cut off point for such diamond growth before you will need a new setting? ie, They will amend a 1 to a 1.2 or 1.5 but not to a 2ct? What timeframe are you looking at for the upgrades? What is your priority, would you be better getting a cheap 6 prong - even in WG and spending the extra now on the diamond?
About the 6 prong, this is the main reason for my reset. I was so worried I would chip my baby, I often took it off and it sat cold and lonely in my jewellery box. That was no good.

To be honest, I was always aiming for a 1.5. That was the size I felt would be the largest I would go. I absolutely adore this diamond though. Its performs so beautifully in all lighting situations. I had two ACA diamonds before, but this Expert Selection stone is much prettier to me. I was really worried I wouldn''t like this diamond - now my problem is that I may not ever want to upgrade it! My husband is amazed!
I''m not saying that I will never upgrade, but for now I am completely in love with this diamond. I do feel the need to have it reset into a 6 prong and I want that done asap. I am going to let WF get past the Christmas and Valentines mad time before I do it. I don''t want it to be away any longer than is necessary - which is why I am going to avoid their busiest times.
We are looking at a channel set diamond wedding band. I am waiting to hear back from WF about some questions I asked. I''m not in any hurry for that as I don''t need it till September.
My hubby just said... ''well there are other sparkly things you can buy - earrings and stuff'' ....

I had emailed the rep I normally deal with but she wasn''t working. She passed it on to someone else but I don''t expect to hear back for a while. They must be so busy just now. I don''t mind waiting. Vera is fab, she looked after me when customs seized my parcel. I will go to her if I don''t hear anything back from Sheerah. Its funny but whenever I say her name I always think ''Shearer!''........ well I am from Newcastle!! (Not that I follow football but I know his sister so I pretend I think he is a legend!)

Prob. I will use my 2 EWB rings; the pipe cut or the fakey knife edge, rather than the WF knife edge, as it is more expensive and I would prefer it stay scuff free for that kind of cash. (Considering the others are less than half the price even in plat.)

I am incapable of catching the flare from my eternity bands, so I will mix things up a bit and compare the bad bits of my eternity bands instead!
The one on the left, is my WF eternity. The one on the right is from a B&M in the BHX jewellery quarter.
WF:
F-G''s (If I remember correctly)
Shared Prong
No cleaning holes
Wonderfully clean and bright and sparkley and shiny
BHX:
They claimed they were G''s (Pull the other one, its got bells on
)
4 Prong
Cleaning holes
Nice, but could only be ideal cut if craftperson had a blunt rusty blade. Seems to have fish eye. (But was 1st anniversary present and
I LOVE it
)
