I was right about the 50/50 thing...it looks like the set it the other way, and I actually LOVE it!  You're right...I think it pops!  Is it me, or does it now look like it's N/S???

Before the final setting

Ommigosh! Now I know how you feel ... my eyes are crossing and every time I look at it it seems different! Sometimes I think it's N/S .. sometimes I think it's E/W.... it DOES POP though, so -- guess it doesn't even matter.

It's like a Nancy Drew mystery now though .. combined with an Inkblot test Which IS it???

Oooooh -- you get it tomorrow??? Whoopie! Hand PIX!!!

Thanks all!  Well, it's set now anyway, and I am not going to have it reset even if I decide I don't like it.  But I do like it as of now...a lot!

I totally know what you mean about the cross eyes.  And I'm squinting on top of that.  My boyfriend is going to come home and say "I knew you were asian...but your eyes look particularly small today..."

My BF is going to the appraiser tomorrow...I will have him have the appraiser measure it.  That will tell me for sure if it was set n/s or not. Of course, it could be the first pic was n/s too, but I doubt it.  I've stared at the loose diamond photo for weeks now, and the first profile is one that I am very familiar with, so I believe it was east/west.

But this surprise was very fun!

It DOES look set N/S now, rather than E/W before setting.  So weird!!!  It looks awesome!!

You are all very sweet.  I am very happy so far, and will post the ring (as well as my mom's when I get it) in the SMTR thread.  I feel confident after all your help these couple of months that I have made the right choice for me.

Just for kicks, I found the Jeff Cooper stock photo from their website that I had awhile back.  I still don't see what WF was worried about...the angle view that they took looks just like JC's sample photo to me...
