My Lovely (Little) E-ring...

Kaylyn Cut Rock Total Posts: 145 Last Post: 8/10/2006 Member Since: 8/21/2005	I've lurked around here for quite some time and noticed how big everyone's rings seem to be! Goodness! I'm a girl who very much enjoys drooling over other people's giant diamonds, but I'm just not that into wearing them. I have one of those lovely fiancees who asked me to marry him and then we picked out a ring together. We're both in college. We don't have much money, at all. And we weren't about to go broke over an engagement ring. What to do, what to do... We went to the regular jewelry stores in town...you know, the Zales, Kay, Helzberg type places, and didn't find anything worth buying, or anything we could afford above an I2 clarity. Finally, we went to a much smaller jewelry store that was selling much nicer jewelry at lower prices. I'll be honest, I hated solitaires on my hand. I thought they looked just absolutely ridiculous. Then, we came across my ring. What a difference some shaping in the band and a cathedral setting can make on a diamond! Nick fell in love with the ring right away, but I wasn't so sure. So, I went back the next day to "visit" my ring again, and decided it was the one for me. Now, my center stone is only .25 carat. However, the clarity is good...I think it's an SI1. It's much better than anything else we found in our price range, anyway. I love my sweet little ring, and I just wanted to share some pictures.

cinnabar Cut Rock Total Posts: 386 Last Post: 6/25/2006 Member Since: 11/29/2004	I think it's absolutely lovely. It looks much more expensive than $800, and the diamond doesn't look small at all to me. I love the unfussy look, and your wedding ring sets it off to perfection. Beautiful.

Congratulations to you both!!

ame Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,452 Last Post: 2/7/2006 Member Since: 7/7/2004	It's beautiful! It looks just right on your hand. And your setting IS classic. I went simple too because I figured Id get sick of something ornate. I think about doing some hand engraving on the band of my solitaire, but then again...I don't want to HATE it later.

jenna_g Rough Rock Total Posts: 31 Last Post: 9/19/2007 Member Since: 8/17/2005	Congratulations! That is a gorgeous set. I never liked solitaires on my hand either, until I tried cathedral settings... To me, the whole thing just looks more balanced that way. I went from totally disliking solitaires to absolutely adoring them! (And much to my delight, owning one! ) I especially like the way cathedral settings look with a diamond band... :)

DiaDiva Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,249 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 10/7/2004	Kaylyn, you have a beautiful and classic set! May I ask why you want to solder the 2 rings together? Won't that mean you lose the flexibility to wear them together or separate?

Kaylyn Cut Rock Total Posts: 145 Last Post: 8/10/2006 Member Since: 8/21/2005	I guess I never considered wearing them separate after we are married. Huh. That's an interesting idea. It will be a clean soldering, though, because even though they were not made as a set, they fit together perfectly. Still time to think about it, though.

HOUMedGal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,350 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2005	Beautiful!!!! I totally agree about not going into debt for the e-ring, especially when you're both starving students. My fiance and I (yes, both starving students) chose not to go into debt as well. Your set is gorgeous and classic and I'm absolutely thrilled to hear how much you love it. That's when you know it's right. :) ~A little more BLING is never a bad thing! :)~

BrightSpot Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,783 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 4/14/2005	Your set is just lovely--classic, but with a bit of a twist. Your band looks beautiful with the cathedral solitaire e-ring. I think you guys made a wise choice. You have a lovely set & didn't go beyond your budget! And, most importantly, congrats on your engagement!!! "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." -William Shakespeare
