Hi all,
As some of you know, I have been contemplating changing my current e-ring setting, because there is NO WAY any kind of w-band will sit flush, and I know this is going to bother me in the long run. Anyway, I contacted Mark (at ERD, where we purchased the stone from) and he said that he is going to take a look at my setting to see what he can do (e.g. raise the basket), so that a w-band can slip under it. Or, I may change the whole setting- I really love the Ritani micropave ones! The wedding is not till next yr, so I told him there was no rush, but that got me to thinking....
Since the ring is either going to have to be modified or I am going to get a completely different setting, maybe this is my time to UPGRADE MY DIAMOND!!! I have to say (and I would only say it here) that I have always loved my diamond, but it was not the size I ideally wanted (gosh, I feel like such a spoiled brat saying this, because I know I am very lucky to have the stone I have in the size I have it in, and we only got engaged last Nov)!!! My diamond is a 1.7c EC, G/VS1, and its is really pretty. The stone has great proportions, and looks a little bigger than its carat wt in general, but I want a little more size!!! Am I bad or what????
Does any one know how much bigger (ct wise) I would need to go to get a VISUAL size difference??? Just want to find out it this is do-able or not...
Thanks in advance!
