I''ve been lurking for a while and decided to finally post!
I was engaged in November with a 0.33 G SI diamond in a simple white gold tapered solitare setting. We had talked upgrading at a later date because I wasn''t able to pick a setting I was entirely in love with when we began to look at engagement rings. I had decided that I loved the look of a three stone with channel set diamonds down the band or a paved band, but couldn''t find one that had all the qualities I liked.
I went into our local jeweler yesterday to have my ring cleaned while I was out as well as look for a mother''s day gift and I ended up asking to look at a few settings (I can''t help it!). They placed a diamond similar to the one I have now in this setting and I didn''t want to take it off! I took it home to show it to my fiance and wore it around the house last night to see if I wanted to keep it or take it back. I love it and my heart pretty much stopped when I put it on, but I think I''ll miss my old setting too much! I''m looking for advice.
I''ll post pictures of my current setting and the new setting. The new setting hasn''t been sized yet (I''m a 4.5) and I haven''t had the diamond reset in it yet, either. I''m new at this, so they might have turned out a little fuzzy.
