As some of you already know, my DH bought me an emerald ring during our summer vacation in Slovenia. I am ecstatic with the emerald but the setting was not up to my standards and the side stones looked hazy to me.
So the moment we returned home from the vacation, I went to see my jeweler and discuss resetting (DH couldn't understand what was wrong with the original setting, hehehe!!!).
I decided that I wanted to have a yellow gold setting made with pear side stones. The side diamonds are .40 each, VVS1, D color.
Initially I wanted a shiny finish on the gold but as my jeweler is proceeding with the construction of the ring and I'm observing it through the different stages, now I think that I would prefer a brushed/matte finish.
He doesn't want to give me his opinion, because he doesn't want to influence my judgement on the matter.
I would like my dear PS friends to give me their honest opinions, because this ring is very important to me and I need to get it right!
