Hi there, I stumbled across this site and I was hoping to get some help from you all, it seems like there are many knowledgeable people here.
My girlfriend (hopefully soon-to-be fiancée) likes this ring from Topazery:
Link to ring
Now I know enough to know that tourmaline is not hardy enough for an e-ring, so I am planning a similar ring but with a pink sapphire.
I have three questions.
(1) There are some things I think could be better about this ring. Am I crazy for trying to improve on my lady''s choice? (She hardly wears any jewelry, I don''t think she saw more than 20 rings online before she settled on this as "the one"...) Or should I just try to match what she says she likes?
(2) I think the band is too chunky. Has anyone seen any rings that are more-or-less in this style, but have a thinner band, maybe pinched in towards the stone? I can buy the sapphire separately, right? So I am really looking for a setting.
(3) I wonder if it has enough diamonds. There are little surprise diamonds but they''re barely visible. Do you guys think a pink sapphire solitaire can look enough like an e-ring? Or would it be better to have some diamonds on the band to give it more of that look?
Hope to hear what you guys think... thanks a lot.
