Hey all, lurking for a while, first post, probably going to get the ring in the next 3-6 months... thanks for all the info. I''ll probably post again when I look for the stone to get the mass opinion around here on that as well.
Anyway, I''ve pretty much settled on one of a few Gelin+Abaci tension styles which I know she likes and I like as well. I know the drawbacks of the tension setting, etc.
Here''s something maybe you guys could help me with. How hard would it be/how much more expensive would it be to slightly modify one of the "stock" settings in their ring line with different stones?
For example, this setting, which I''m fond of (likely w/ .85 or so princess cut, her favorite)

What would be absolutely ideal for me is to replace the side set diamonds in this ring with some sort of colored stone instead of the diamonds that "come with" the setting... How doable is this in your estimation? How much extra would it set me back? I''d probably have to do it through whatever jeweler was acting as middleman between G+A and I, I suspect...
Anyway, it''s something that I think would be very nice if it''s doable please let me know what you think and how much you think it''d really run me if I could (i.e. a mint or a modest amount)
