If you were to upgrade your E-ring ...

[Dancing Fire]

What would be the reason(s)?

bigger size? higher clarity? higher color? different shape? better cut?

 

[Tobamovirus]

1. Better cut
2. Higher colour
3. Ct

 

[m-2-b]

Hypothetically speaking, bigger size or different shape would be reasons to upgrade for me!

 

[Cricketcat]

Bigger size, keeping super ideal cut.

 

[Gypsy]

Shape and size and lower clarity.

I'd go for a the largest cushion I could afford. I'd keep the color either colorless (I have an F) or go down to G.. possibly H.

Ideally I'd prefer an oval but DH doesn't like them.

 

[baby monster]

Size. Quite happy with current color, clarity and cut.

 

[woofmama]

Larger size & higher color. I would love a 2ct G-H EC in a simple solitaire.

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

Technically speaking an "upgrade" would be higher color and clarity and half or a third of my current size. I would change back to a RB, D/E/F color and IF--might consider VVS1. No Flouro.

cheers--Sharon

 

[yssie]

Bigger, baby, bigger

I'd go up in size and clarity and happily drop colour a notch or two. My "ideal cut" for RBs is not the same as what most longtime PSers prefer - I love a super steep crown (37+), so... no chance of me purchasing from the usual H&A/Signature lines, sadly; I'd love to buy with the backing of those sorts of generous trade-in/upgrade policies.

 

[CRYSTAL24K]

I would want slightly bigger and a grade better in color.

I have a 1.25 H VS and I would love to go to 1.4-1.5 G VS.

I know the experts will say that it probably doesn't make much sense to pay for little difference up that little in size or to pay for a G when I have an H... but this has always been the dream for me

If it never happens, I won't be sad though. I love my current stone.

If it does happen, well, it would be EPIC!

 

[tyty333]

Different shape (OEC or transitional)
Better faceting (better cut)
Bigger stone

I could down grade on color and clarity!


Is it gonna happen? Probably not!

 

[ame]

1. ct weight
2. Color
3. Different cut style

 

[lovefordiamonds]

I am truly happy with my super recent upgrade but if money wasn't an issue and I could upgrade again, I'd keep everything the same and go up in clarity.

 

[dk168]

My pride and joy is my 1.19ct E VS1 EC that I wear as a RHR that is my 40th birthday present to myself. If I were to upgrade, I would go larger.

However, I cannot afford to go significantly larger in time for my 50th celebration next year, and the stone has significant sentimental value. Hence I am going down the route of having it re-set instead, in a diamond halo with an air line and a plain shank.

[diamondringlover]

lol all of them!

 

[HappyNewLife]

hmm, not gonna happen, but I'd go BIGGER. I'm happy with the diamond though, it's 1.7, G, eye-clean SI1, 60/60 but good light return

maybe I'd get a more traditional ideal cut since mine can go dark in certain lighting.

I think 2.5ct is the biggest I'd go, I have a size 4.5 finger

 

[cflutist]

I have a 3.01 F-SI1 pear e-ring and a 2.21 F-SI1 Crafted by Infinity on the way so I'm pretty happy.
But IF I were to upgrade, I guess it would be to a 3+ ct F-SI1 CBI? I wonder how much that costs?

Me, too. Any color for me, just make it BIG!

 

[-Bella-]

I'd get the biggest i could afford. I am going to upgrade whether i have to pay for it all myself or hubby will help but I'm planning on going to the biggest id like (3-3.5ct) and then thats it.And it'd be a OMC, OEC, or AVC in a warmer colour. Really id just be happy with a bigger e-ring. who knows if it'll ever happen

 

[Mikla]

All of the above!

Seriously, I love everything about my stone, but I could always go bigger.

 

[AprilBaby]

Bigger size! My center is 1.21, would love 2 cts and .75 on each side

 

[cflutist]

What would be the reason(s)?

bigger size? higher clarity? higher color? different shape? better cut?

What about you DF? A 4 ct D-VS2 Octavia ?

[puppyguts]

cut, carat, shape... then colour - but I don't mind a little warmth

If a 2.6ct F/G VS2 was available, and if I had the money then I'll do it, but too many IFs...

Not lunchtime it is bedtime...

 

[lknvrb4]

I would go bigger, I sometimes think of selling my ring and switching to a RB.

 

[secretagentlaura]

For me, it probably would be for a different look, foremost. I have MRBs (including an ACA), and I'd upgrade for an AVC, an OEC, or a really yummy emerald.

 

[NTave]

Bigger. Possibly transitional cut or OEC instead. And I don't have an e ring, but single gals like diamonds too.

 

[kmarla]

Actually just upgraded for cut and shape less than a week ago. Current ring is 2.03 carat GIA H VS2 princess which I still love. I was really missing a RB since I had worn one for 30 years, so I was just spoiled with a 1.21 carat ACA H SI1 RB. I just can't believe how beautiful the cut is.

 

[EvangelineG]

I just recently did this. I upgraded my original e-ring from 20 years ago. I upgraded size and to a better cut, and a different type of cut (AVR). My main motivation for the upgrade was setting style, and relationship changes that caused the old ring not to "feel" right anymore.

At this point I am very happy with my four C's, but I could see myself changing setting style again someday in the far distant future. I won't change centre stones though, since I get sentimental and attached...but that's not to say that my AVR couldn't acquire some friends over the years.
