After too many trials and tribulations, that I saved you all from, my ring was finally to be ready to my specifications today. After getting up the nerve to look in the box, I peered in and the top of the ring looked perfect. I was so hopeful that this would finally be it. The halo sufficiently rounded, thin band and very dainty. But when I looked at the side, the diamond was set too high.
The setting is already high and I''m not sure if it looks good with the diamond sitting high too. Needless to say I was crushed. My FI and I waited an hour while the jeweler tried to set it a little lower, but I knew it wasn''t going to be enough-- I could see that the halo opening was too small for the ring to set in upto the girdle. Too be honest, we had seen the mold and I hadn''t noticed it then, but now it was clear that it wasn''t going to set how I wanted.
After almost bursting into tears (I''ve been waiting 3 month!). He told me to take it home and see if it would grow on me, if not, I could bring it back in and he would make a new setting (again). The only reason I agreed to this arrangement was because I loved (love) everything else about it and he said the diamond will not sparkle as much if he set it in more? Could this be true? I need your advice. Too high vs. loose sparkle...thoughts? I hope you enjoy my almost perfect ering pictures.
Specs: Cushion, 1.71, H, VS1
