Cme Rough Rock Total Posts: 42 Last Post: 10/25/2006 Member Since: 4/5/2006	PLease be honest....I can still return and start over... I would prefer something that kind of hugs /wraps around my marquise, but I can find nothing and I do not like any of the wraps I have found and tried. So I am trying this....(I have alreday had 4 other mountings and did not like them at all) My marquise is 2.15 carats, a chubby one ( as we call it) This is the ring I just recieved......I like it....but am not sure I 'love' it....well I do love it, just not sure its 'me'......I have never had anything this big or sparkly ....it really sparkles soooo much..... It really really sparkles.....under all different lighting..... I just cant get a decent picture...here are a few pictures.... any suggestions on how to get a good picture? your rings all look so pretty in pics... what do you all think?? please be honest :)

Jasmine actually has my favorite setting for a marquise and it's going E/W.. link to jasmine's ring ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

jazmine Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,013 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 7/12/2005	Well, if you do not want a wrap but you want something to "hug" it you may want to set the diamond east west, as my marquise is. I am not sure how much of a change you want to make as this is quite different from what you have now. Our marquises are about the same size so you can get an idea from mine on how it would look. It really looks like you have a gorgous marquise there! It is much easier to fit a wedding band to a e-ring like this. Here is mine

jazmine Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,013 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 7/12/2005	Thanks for posting those pics, Mrssalvo. I don't mind at all, I am flattered CME, that is one gorgous marquise! So white and I don't see any bow tie in those pictures. It is what I think of as a tradional marquise setting. I really love the w-band that you have as well. But for a change or more streamlined or hugged look I don't know what else to suggest other than an east-west setting. Your w-band does appear to sit flush which does not often happen with a north south marquise setting. So sorry to hear of your huge loss. How terrible You really do want a set of rings that you love with no hesitation. So if you haven't found it yet, keep looking. And no way is that diamond too big! Search here on Pricescope for marquise settings. Many will pop up.

mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,856 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	I don't think it's too big at all. the set looks very striking on you. I thinks it's just a matter of personal style and tastes. I really like the bold sparkle of the bands too and I don't think they take anything away from your marquise. But, if YOU don't love it there are plenty of other gorgeous settings to chose from. Here's another Marquise setting I love. it's made by ritani if you like it going N/S link to thread ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

I have found when people make rude comments like "it's gaudy" they are normally just jealous. Enjoy you gorgeous ring and wear it proudly ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	I think your diamond is a beautiful size and shape!!! I get hung up on "how big is too big", too, so I know how you feel. But that is plain rude for someone to say that to you. I'd disregard anyone's opinion with so little tact! That setting is beautiful, no doubt. It might be a just little too much bling for me, yet I think it is very classic and lovely...definitely not gaudy! The only other thing I can think of would be setting a side stone on either side making a 3-stone instead of having a lot of smaller diamonds. I'm not sure what shape, though. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
