Oh....My....GAWD!!!!

I am sooo fricken biased, though, because I have a princess e-ring. I''m glad you didn''t change the setting, it looks really lovely with the new stone.

So, whatcha gonna do w/the original center stone? Pendant? RHR? It''s too pretty to just hide in a jewelry box, ya know

I used the original stone towards the trade in on the new one. Even though the original stone wasn''t from them, they allowed me to trade it in towards the new one.

The very first (this is stone #4 (one cracked! not my fault, so 3 changes) I was engaged with was a 0.33 princess cut. Although I don''t still have it, I think one of these days I will buy one and set it into a pendant.

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments!

Everyone seems to like that I kept the setting... I am also! This was the plan all along. It was kind of a weird way to do it. I got the setting first (because it wasn''t cheap (it''s platinum)) and I know I wanted a large princess cut center stone... so saved up for it after I had the setting to put it in. I didn''t want them to stop carrying the setting or something, because when I saw it I knew it was "the one"!

VERY cool of the jeweler to do the trade up even without it being originally theirs. of course, the other was also a very beautiful specimen, so I''m sure they had noooo problem taking the trade!!

The new one is really quite stunning. I keep coming back to stare at the one pic on the edge of the red box (the outdoor shot). I mean...wow.

Yeah the red box picture is one of the few I didn''t catch my reflection in, so it shows the true color of the diamond!

Glad everyone is liking the photos!

Thanks! The bands aren''t super thick (like 2-2.5mm, not sure) so I think that helps the center stone stand out!
