Okay gals, I need your help please.
Here is the story. We are ordering the stone from Whiteflash on Tuesday, so it would more than likely get here on Wednesday. My BF, tells me just a couple of hours ago, he was watching a golf tournament on tv in Vegas, so he got the itch. We were going to go to Vegas last week, but did not. We go often. Well then he says "lets go this weekend", I said "are you serious, you want to go" and he says "yes". Well we were supposed to go to the jewelry mart in LA, to look at settings. (i"ve been there twice last week). So I remind him that we were so supposed to do this, and he says, "oh well then I guess we won''t." and I said "oh yeah, like if there''s a choice, vegas, or settings) I''d take Vegas, it''s OUR place. He then says, "well if I get out early then we can go on Thursday and take care of it then". So we can leave for Vegas Friday morning.
Okay . I was shocked! I thought oh, well, I guess we''ll look when we get back....I wasn''t going to give up Vegas..to look at settings..I''m already thrilled that the diamond is going to come in this week. Yay! So the fact that he had wanted to take care of it before we went to Vegas kind of baffled me. Proposal in Vegas..I don''t know....I almost wish he had not said that, because I might just be getting my hopes up..UGH!!!
Sorry I''m trying to get to the point, because I''m really excited. So here''s my dilemma. It''s trying to find or pick a setting. I keep going back and forth. I''m obsessed and literally losing sleep over this. The stone is a 1.98RB SI 1, I color. 8.10 x 8.14 x 4.95. GIA excellent. Pol. vg. symm vg. with arrows! Well I don''t know how to set it. I originally thought solitaire setting and do a nice chunky eternity band. Then i tried the halos, something I though I would not like. I love certain halos, and in the jewelry mart they had 1000"s of them. I found 3 that can be contenders. Although they are beautiful, I feet that this stone will get lost, and not get noticed, for lack of a better word. I feel that I could have gone 1.25-1.50 and have gotten that same look, due to the WOW of the setting. So then I went to an eternity band setting with 8 pointers all around with same matching eternity WB. Well it''s very, very, nice and a lot to look at, again I''m afraid it''s going to take away from the center stone. So then I thought very thin eternitiy, but too thin, might just be that..too thin. So now I''m back to a cathedral Tiffany solitaire. I tried one on this morning on a 1.50 center. and I thought it was very nice and elegant. I though yay, I think I found it! but I keep going back and forth. BTW. My finger is a size 4. I want the "oohh, wow" look. Sorry to be so vain...so please ladies help steer me in the right direction, since I think I have until Thursday. Unless to prolong it and do it when we get back.....which means I may posibbly,,postpone a proposal..if that''s what he has in mind this weekend...who knows...I think he''s tired of my obsession with the stone and the setting! Help me ladies....
