Well,
I did it.
I finally plucked up the courage and tried on some rings. I tried to use the advice I was given on my previous thread and I have to say it worked a treat! Thank you!
I am starting off in a small way though! I only did one shop and tried on 2 rings. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. The sales assistant was very pleasant (I would love to say knowledgeable but that would be a lie ) and was more than willing to let me play "diamonds."
I decided to give RB's a whirl today because it was March when I put mine in for consignment. As much as I truly L VE L VE L VE my AVC, I have to say it gave me an absolute thrill to slip on a 1.51 and a 1.79 RB.
Now, they were not particularly well cut. Nor certified, other than by the store, the 1.51 was an I/SI2 and the 1.79 was a J/SI1.
However, my purpose was really just to see size and shape against my eternity ring. Now whilst my ring is not to everyones taste due to its size, I really love it and I have no intention of changing it. So when I do go for a more permanent, but still upgradeable stone, it must compliment my eternity ring.
If I am being really honest the RB, in these sizes, looked better with it than the AVC. For no reason other than size. I agree with previous posters who stated it looked a bit lost next to my eternity band. However, if I[ could break the 2 carat mark maybe it might work!
This kind of disappoints me but excites me at the same time. I will miss my AVC when I do have to trade her in but I am very excited as to how big the 1.79 looked on my 4.5 ring finger.
Also, for the first time ever, the eternity ring, whilst still big and sparkly, it didn't take centre stage, the solitaire did!
So it really did give me something to think about! I will keep you all posted on my next ring trying on trip, when I will attempt to find better cut diamonds for comparison purposes.
Thank you again for your help!
If anyone else had an interesting jewellery experiences this weekend I would love to hear about it!
