Re: She wanted an X but I got her a Y instead
I have seen that here from time to time, and I always think that those marriages have a bad strike against them at the outset. Part of having a successful marriage is to be sensitive to the needs and desires of the other. It does not bode well at all for a guy to be so self-absorbed that he ignores ... |

Re: 6 reasons upgrading your Ering is bad for your marriage!
Reading through the comments is pretty enlightening. I think it is wonderful if someone loves their ring and has no desire for another. Lucky them! I still have my original ring and will give it to a daughter or granddaughter. But the fact is, there came a day that my husband wanted to get me a nice... |

Re: Help – My Version of J Lawrence’s Drop Earrings
To answer your other question, I might consider a white topaz or sapphire in the middle with a diamond halo to get closer to the look. I'm a bit biased though, I think these are stunning! http://jewelsbyericagrace.smugmug.com/Jewelry/Earrings/Aquamarine-Halo-Dangle/22309668_qVKhkW#!i=1782623713&... |

Re: Help – My Version of J Lawrence’s Drop Earrings
I don't think moving the outer halo and causing a gap will really move you closer to your inspiration pictures. Have you considered doing the center with a large white topaz or sapphire and then making them more like the inspiration pair? I realize and understand that my design will not resemble th... |

Re: Talk me off the ledge - nervous about custom design
One more question: do the double prongs tend to make a round look more squarish or cushiony? If the prongs are delicate, they have zero effect on the look of the shape of the stone. Unless they are fishtail prongs, as far as I am concerned, a round diamond looks round no matter what! But, I will sa... |

Re: Whiteflash Diamond - Need Advice :)
I'll have to say, VS2 is my personal limit as well. Great that they were totally upfront on the clarity. I like WF for being honest! |

Re: Whiteflash Diamond - Need Advice :)
I have never heard of WF checking color. I think you'd have to see the stone yourself to determine whether the color and clarity will meet your expectations since SI can be iffy in a 3 ct stone. Or you might could have an independent appraiser check color. I know David Atlas has done this before (an... |

Re: Euroshank or not?
My Vatche Tiffany knife edge repro goes with every kind of wedding band! Seriously, I vastly prefer it over any other solitaire that I have had. So I would say that it depends on the particular setting you are looking at. Knife edge is referring to the top of the shank and comfort-fit refers to the ... |

Re: Talk me off the ledge - nervous about custom design
My honest personal opinion is that I like what you have designed best of all the options. Seriously. We all doubt these decisions because there is always more than one good option. But I really like what you chose. |

Love your new set, allie!! You can never go wrong with a timeless classic! And getting different bands is a great way to have change over time without changing the whole set!

Re: Going crazy! GOG Emerald Cut 1.7 H/SI1 -- Phantom Inclus
You know they will call in some stones for you, right? That way they can find 2 or 3 that might better meet your specs and budget. I think it would be very hard to find a good SI1 in an emerald cut. I think VS2 would be about the minimum and V1+ even better. |

Re: Should I sell my ring to fund a new one? HELP!
I know your opinion is the only one that counts :)) , but I want to say that I like your stone in the current halo about 100,000 times better than I like the image of the ring without a halo. I really like cushions in a halo for some reason. I think it compliments them to have a sparkly border aroun... |

Re: Cushion cut - solitaire
I would say that cushions are often placed in halos because it just enhances shape of the stone and there is a nice contrast between the round melee and the cushion. I don't love the idea tapered baguettes with a modern cushion, but I would say to do whatever you think you will like best! The side b... |
