Hello,
My apologies for the long post here....
I have been reading the posts on this website for awhile and I must say that I now check it daily to see new rings. There are so many beautiful ones!
I have been married for about 2 1/2 years, and in that time, I have had 2 kids..they are 16 months and 2 months. Needless to say, we are very busy. Anyway, I am going to be upgrading my princess, but want to make sure that when I do, I get it right bc I won''t be doing this again.
Current ring:
Center stone: .74 F VS1 "good" cut. That is all I know about it.
It is in 18k white gold and has 6 channel set princesses on each side.
The wedding band is all channel set princesses.
I would like to upgrade center to 1.4-1.5 but I would like to know how to shop for it. For example, I will sacrifice in color down to G-H and clarity to SI1, unless I see an SI2 that is good too. What kind of cut is best for princess...Does "ideal" exist or is that only for round?? Also right now I just have prongs with the little points (lol, sorry for the poor vocab) holding it and I would like to change it to v-prong.
Anyway, I have been trying to take a pic with my digital but all come out way too blurry....
I will appreciate any and all advice as I am eager to make the change
.. thanks!
Sophie
