Thank you! I am just amazed that I ended up with something so beautiful! When I first saw it when it arrived it was under flourescent lighting at work and I thought it was really pretty, but oh man, when I first got to see it under natural light and then yesterday in blazing sun, I was just blown away!!! As for settings I am currently completely stuck between the WF Petite Open Cathedral and the Ritani Classic 1RZ1232CCRP that geckodani was considering. I''ve decided that I like that one better than the Caroline because I absolutely adore double prongs, so if I go the solitaire route it must have double prongs. But I just can''t decide. Almost everyone who I show my terribly photoshopped pictures to of my stone on those settings chooses the Ritani, but there is something about a narrow diamond shank that I love, although I''m not convinced that it''s the best choice for my stone. It''s really hard because there isn''t anywhere near me that has settings even close to either of these (think the worst of the worst maul stores) and to make it worse, settings look so much different with diamonds as the center stone rather than colored stones, so it''s hard to get a good feel. |

Lovely stone! There are quite a few Photoshop talents on this board who could put your stone into a setting to give you an idea of how it would look...just start a thread "photoshop help please'' or something like that: you''ll be amazed at what people here can do for you! It really helps to see the stone in the setting...IMHO LS |

Thanks! I took the plunge this morning and decided on the Ritani. It''s the more classic, timeless of the two and it will allow way more choices when it comes to wedding bands and stacking in the future. Plus EVERYONE I showed pictures to (all the ladies at work, my mom & dad, my FSIL) loved the Ritani. I think that Mr.L likes the Ritani better too, but he refused to tell me which he liked bettwe because he wanted me to pick what I wanted. I love the double prongs, love the tapered band, and love the surprise diamond. I went with the palladium too. Now I just have to wait for 3-4 weeks til I get it.

Oh man, if you only knew how many photoshops I''ve done of this stone on the settings! Mr.L thinks I''m nuts, but I told him that everyone here on PS totally understands! I''ve decided on the Ritani setting though and will be sending out the stone today. So now I have to start posting in the Rings in Waiting thread! |
