That is lovely, just gorgeous. We are stone spec twins, only the clarity is slightly different on mine.
I have to say your hands are far more elegant than mine, so your stone looks way bigger on your than mine does on me.
I am so glad you ''went for it'', a lovely treat for Christmas!

Sadly the diamond shrinkage syndrome will set in soon. These boards are lethal for it. My fiance has made it abudantly clear that there will never be any upgrade to my engagement ring; for sentimental reasons. So I will just have to work on him for RHR''s from now on
1 carat is huge for the UK isn''t it, but I am thinking how much better a 2 - 3 ct would be so much better on my ''man hands''

I really love the Scattered Diamond band from Whiteflash. I will more than likely get that as the band my hubby wants is from WF too. Might as well get a few more diamonds on my finger!Date: 12/3/2007 4:18:39 PM

Hi Maisie,
I had to go looking for your thread. And WOW. I love your choice of stone, the ring looks wonderful. Well done all round.
Regarding the scattered band, I bought it (3mm plat) for our anniversary at the beginning of this month and cannot recommend it highly enough. I admit, at the time I felt it was expensive because it does not have a high ct weight but now it is on my hot little finger I love love love it. It screams quality, is super super comfort fit is very heavy and looks like a million dollars. It really does. In case you are wondering the scatter goes around the band fully and there are no cleaning holes. It looks wonderful on its own and behaves very lady like in the company of other bands or an e-ring.
Let me know if you have any q''s on it. [Ps. When DH first saw it, he called it the Mr Blobby ring, the name has stuck now, but in a nice way!]
nice way!]
Love the J. Enjoy it.

I wish you many pleasant hours staring at it.

Thankyou Steel! I am glad you asked if I have any questions, because I do!
Does the scattered band sit nicely with your e-ring? Also are the diamonds secure in the way they are set? Do you think there is any chance I may lose one if I wasn''t careful enough? I also love the shared prong setting....is that comfy to wear? I am seriously considering changing my setting to the WF tiffany style that you have, is that comfortable too?
Sorry for so many questions!

Yes.
Bear in mind, I have the 6 prong tiff replica, the head of which impacts the shape of the shank quite low; so that if the scattered band were taller it would not sit flush. In fact they would rub on each other. The band is rounded and not flat so this should help it to sit under the head of some e-rings if you understand. I will take pics later.

I worried about this too. Honestly they look snug as a bug in a rug. It looks sturdy too, but I wouldn''t wear it gardening.
I also love the shared prong setting....is that comfy to wear?
My eternity has history, but yes it is very comfortable. The diamonds are amazing little performers, shining their little hearts out.The reflection they give out, say on the dash in the car, or on the train carriage wall is so aaaamazing. They all have sharp little arrows. Honestly the prongs and scalloping is not perfect and is not really symmetrical. But I got over that, it is not machine pumped out jewellery. The prongs do not scuff the finger or feel annoying. But now that I do not wear the eternity all the time, I notice when I do wear it because it is less comfortable than my other bands.

WOW. The knife edge is a DREAM ring.
Let me tell you a story, I am obsessed (in a healthy way
) with Charlotte''s character in S&tC, particularly her 2ct Tiffany. Now my baby is ''only'' 1ct, but I believe it is the twin of her 2ct. When I got the reset, I looked forwards to getting out my box set and pausing on the 2ct. When I did, I was beaming. In my mind it is a twin. I love it. [Caution: If you think I am wrong and another set is better or that I am just deluded, please don''t tell me here. I don''t want to know. Denial isn''t just in Egypt]
Now lets get down to it. What I love about the knife edge ring? The 6 prongs. I feel are super secure, baby is not going anywhere. The 6 prong head is very sleek and sophisticated looking; it looks expensive and cups the stone beautifully. It doesn’t sit low either, I was worried about that. Because it was a 1ct I didn''t want my stone to look smaller. I was very upset that the knife edge wasn''t sharp on the shank. I wanted a very sharp V like the original. But WF couldn''t or wouldn''t do this for me. But I must say, when I got her back I wasn’t disappointed at all. The band is about 3mm when it reaches the head and a wonderfully dainty 2mm at the back. The plat is super shiny. The comfort fit is so sleek it si a dream to wear.
WARNING: This reset will not be cheap, factor in the $450 you will have to spend on the matching knife edge band. Honestly, you CANNOT buy one without the other. Its like going to adopt kittens, you have to be very strong to leave with one and not the other. …
Sorry for so many questions!

Thank you for the quick response Steel!!
I would love a close up shot of the knife edge wedding band and the ering!
I know I definitely want to get a 6 prong setting. I am really worried I will ding my diamond. I think once James is older and I don''t have to push the pushchair, lift him in and out of the car etc, I will worry less about my ring. I love the setting I have but I will have to change it. I don''t want a ring I am worried about wearing. I have it insured of course.
I''m glad you say the shank isn''t very sharp, that was one of my concerns as I think it might irritate my finger.
Oh, and I don''t think you are mad for your SATC obsession!!

I would definitely recommend a J, mine is so well cut that I can''t see any tint in it at all. Well thats how I feel anyway - I know others are more colour sensitive than me.
