For my Christmas gift, I chose this:
It is a platinum setting and I am soooo in love with it. I had always wanted a ring like this, but they are always out of my price range, as it is for a right hand ring and I have plenty of those, so I can't justify spending a small fortune on a ring that I will only wear occasionally. Anyhow, this ring was a steal BUT, as you can tell, the center stone is NOT an OEC. It is a .50 I1 I color mrb.
I have a few options. I actually have a .60 OEC that I wear as a pendant, but it is very yellow,so I set it in a yellow gold pendant. I love that pendant and I love my new ring as it is, but I can't help but wonder if I should swap these two stones out.
My concern is that the ring would end up looking different with a yellow diamond, even if the stone would make the ring more original. I suppose that I could always wait until the right OEC comes along, as this mrb blends in well.
I am open to opinions.
ETA: more pictures
