Dear all experts,
I have recently purchased an E color 0.82st SI1 Solasfera from GOG and I''m planning on setting it in Mark Morrell Solitaire. I need some help from experts here before going ahead with the decision.
1) I measured an existing ring that my GF has which is a size I in Australia. I need the equivalent sizes in USA size. The confusion arose because some conversion chart converts it as 4.5 and some 4.25. Which one is the accurate one?
2) I was told by my best friend who is in the jewellery trade in Singapore NOT to get platinum ring. This is because there are very few platinumsmith in Singapore willing to work with platinum and it will be very costly to have it resize or polish in the future. Also Mark Morrell uses 90% Platinum and 10% Iridium which is not the common 950 Platinum. Will this really cause me major problems in the future?
3) My GF liked a thin shank and I''m just wondering how thin is thin since this is my first time buying a ring. The diamond width is about 6.09mm and her finger size is about 4.5, would 2mm be too thin or I should go slightly thicker like 2.2mm or 2.5mm?
Thank you.
Aaron
