Am I stuck with a ring I don''t love? Options??

[Demelza]

I purchased a 1.51 ct, H, VS1 emerald cut several years ago. I've always loved ECs and wanted to use it in a RHR. Well, after several failed settings, I finally found the stone its permanent home in this Whitehouse Brothers mounting (see pic below). Here's the problem: While I think the stone and setting are just lovely, I NEVER wear this ring. I can appreciate its beauty, but honestly feel like I wasted a ton of money on something I'm never going to wear. What a waste!!! My thought has always been that I'll just keep it in my jewelry box in the hopes that I grow to love it or as a fine piece to pass on to my children and grandchildren. I feel so full of regret when I think how much more money I would have had to put towards my true love: my round! ANYWAY, won't dwell on mistakes made now, BUT I do wonder whether perhaps I shouldn't try to put it to work for me now. I've thought recently about trading it in or selling it in the hopes of getting something else I might really love and enjoy. We all know, of course, that this means losing a lot of money. Ouch!!

Here are my options so far:

1. Keep it.

2. Sell it and keep the money for a future round diamond upgrade.

3. Trade it in for:
a. 2 smaller rounds to turn my current solitaire into a 3 stone.
b. Trade it in towards some kind of very large diamond band (a la MGR's 5 stone 2 cttw Memoire band) or a larger eternity band (always wanted a super blingy band that could stand on its own).

I'm working with 2 vendors so far and one is willing either to sell it on consignment or allow me to trade it in for merchandise at his store (Pearlman's). The other is still trying to find a wholesale buyer for me. In either case, I'm sure I will lose a lot of money.

Any thoughts or opinons??

Here's a pic of the ring in case anyone is interested.

Ooh Demelza I could so see where you''re coming from!

I''ve been trying to find nice setting ideas for my EC as well, but I keep going back to being more inspired by rounds! Moreover, I realized that I don''t really wear RHR often, so my EC solitaire just sits in my jewelry box.

I can''t vote on any of the options because I have the same dilemma

but I''ll follow your thread closely to see what you decide!

I adore the Memoire line, think its super high qualiity or go for an eternity band by Memoire. JMHO.

 

[Demelza]

Thanks, JL!!! It''s so tough. I''m just now reading your MWM thread. Will chime in on that one in a second.

On a totally different topic: How are you feeling??? I had my 18 week ultrasound today and they wouldn''t tell us the sex of the baby!!! We''re SO upset!! We''re hoping the doctor knows and will tell us in a few days. Just curious how and when you found out you were having a boy? Hope the nausea is ALL gone. Mine is for the most part (knock on wood).

 

[mrssalvo]

i''m with kaleigh. A big ol'' eternity band would be gorgeous. I wouldn''t mess with your solitaire (adding sides) unless you''re really wanting to change the setting and then you''d have to get a new wedding band too. If you''ve always wanted an eternity band like that, do it

This is what I was leaning towards, but here''s the problem: with the huge hit I''m taking by trading in this ring, I would have to spend an additional 3k or so to get the 2 cttw 5 stone band. It''s a VERY expensive line and I''m just not willing to put any more money into this. I have to ask how much the 1.5 cttw band is and see whether that is more doable. But then I wonder whether that would be big enough. I have to dig up MGR''s original photos.

I''m inclined to agree with you. I think I''d miss my solitaire.

 

[Mara]

You already know this...but I''ll add it..hehee. I don''t think you should add sides to your round unless you REALLY think about it long and hard. I just know you would miss that solitaire!! And then I''d have to hear about it!

I say if you are sure you will really wear it, do a trade for a blingy eternity ring! But first get into a few stores and try them on and see if they bug your hands or how you feel about such a weighty or strong ring. I love the idea of it for myself but I don''t know if I''d really love having such large stones between my fingers. I''m kind of a nut about comfort and my small melee are as much as I can get used to I think. Darn!

Thanks for asking! I''m feeling good, not much nausea now, but I''ve moved onto the heartburn and reflux (gross!!

) and backache!

By the way, put your feet up as often as u can, and sleep with your feet propped up on a pillow! This will prevent swelling and it relieved my achy feet heaps!

Maybe the baby wasn''t in the right position for them to tell whether it''s a boy or girl. I found out during my 19th wk scan - button was lying on his back and had his genitals very well exposed, shall we say

, so there was no mistaking it!

Ommigosh! I agree with Stmdr! That''s so weird!

I''ve ALWAYS ALWAYS (okay - for about 15 years now) wanted an East/West set EC pendant. A girl I used to work with set an heirloom stone that way and it was SO CLEAN & ELEGANT and GORGEOUS.

However ... if you haven''t ALWAYS wanted a (see above), but you have ALWAYS wanted a blingy eternity band ... then, you only live once, ya know? What good is having something you don''t enjoy/wear even if it prevents some "loss on paper"?

Can''t wait to see what you decide! And the PIXXXXX

Thanks, Storm. Is it a very pretty stone indeed. A little long for my taste (1.5:1), but really beautiful.

Hahaha, yes you would have to hear about it!!! I think you''re right that I would miss my solitaire. I really think that is my true love: a great, big honking solitaire, so why mess with what works?

Okay, here''s my next question: What kind of setting do I go for if I go for a big eternity ring? A shared prong? 4 prong? Are there any other options worth considering? I almost like the idea of doing a 5 stone band better because I could have larger stones and there wouldn''t be the comfort issue. I love the size of MGR''s 2 cttw ring. Doesn''t it seem crazy that trading in a whole 1.5 ct stone wouldn''t allow me to get 5 .40 pt stones without any extra money?? I guess I can look into Signed Pieces and see if they would do a trade in. I do like the look of a basket setting better than the closed setting you see on the Memoire pieces.

 

[jadeleaves]

I don''t know how much you want to spend, but I recently got a quote from WF for a 5 stone U-prong diamond band (the one with surprise diamonds on the sides) and it''s pretty reasonable!

I''m not sure if I can post the pricing here though! I got 2 quotes - one for 5 0.30ct H/I Si1 and one for 0.40ct H/I Si1.

 

[MissGotRocks]

Diamonds have to be the most vexing and frustrating commodity on the market. It is amazing that you can have 1.5 carats of any shape rock and they be worth half of what you paid for them simply because you now own them as opposed to a vendor. You begin to realize that every diamond purchase you make has to be well thought out - particuarly when you didn''t purchase from a vendor that has a trade in policy. Even at that, while you may get every dollar toward a trade, you never get appreciation for the stone even though prices have gone through the roof. I did have one stone seven years that I was able to negotiate some appreciation on but certainly not exactly what it was worth.

My experience with the three stone mounting is that I love it - and I don''t know that I could ever go back to being without side stones. However, I sometimes truly wish I had stuck with the solitaire mounting - kind of like you can''t miss what you don''t have. Your ring is stunning; at this point my vote would be to leave the solitaire alone. My vote was always for the matching band for your ering - it is such stunning simplicity IMHO. I certainly wouldn''t look for an eternity ring to pair with that gorgeous stone. If I put my five stone ring with my ering, it looks gaudy, overdone, and the effect of a beautiful diamond is lost.

As far as the Memoire band, I have never tried on a five stone band that I liked as much or that felt as comfortable on my hand. If I turn this ring to the side and imagine it as an eternity band, it feels fine. No harsh prongs, edges or scratchy feeling. The bulk of it may take some getting used to but the ring itself is as smooth as silk. It was pricey - there were alot of other options including custom that I could have gone with for alot less $$ but I have never regretted the decision. Bill Pearlman was a dream to work with and gave me as fair a deal as I believe was possible. I say that after having compared what I could have done with others as well.

I am sure you will take a bath if you trade or sell the stone but there is nothing worse than having something beautiful that you just have no use for. I would definitely get out and look around. Try on everything you can find to see what you might really want. (Once the baby is born you won''t have time or interest!) I am one of those people that think that even though your rings are on two different hands they should somehow compliment the other. This is just my opinion of course - most people wouldn''t feel that way. I have really enjoyed my ering with a fairly simple band on one hand and the five stone ring on the other. They seem to harmonize well and serve as a good balance.

Keep lookin'', keep tryin'', keep dealin''! You will eventually land on the thing that makes you happy. I remember how much you agonized over your new stone - I did the same thing over this band and then when my family suggested I go with the 2 carat I thought I''d have a stroke - a whole new decision to make! The good news is that there is no rush - you can do it today, tomorrow or five years from now. Just check out all of your options so you will be comfortable with whatever decision you make.

 

[Small]

I really think it''s a beautiful stone in a beautiful setting but if you aren''t happy with it then I''d definitely start searching out ways to make yourself happy. Mara seems to have given you good advice and I love Storm''s suggestion for a pendant.

On another note...what do you mean they WOULDN''T tell you the sex??? That''s wierd! I mean I know they can''t tell you if there is anything wrong...the dr has to do that but I''ve never heard of a tech that wouldn''t tell you the sex

I''d be pissed about that LOL especially since I can''t stand surprises and it would kill me to wait 40 weeks to find out girl or boy (I know I''m so bad LOL). I had 7 scans with each kid as I was high risk. I was told by each different tech (had at least 3 different techs) the sex. One tech told me that the only way she wouldn''t tell is if she wasn''t for sure if it was boy or girl. I respected that. I''ve known a few people who were told boy only to have a girl

LOL. Because of that my husband made me ask at every scan after we were told boy...he wanted to make sure ''it'' was still on there LMAO. Let us know what your dr says. I''ll be interested to know the reasoning behind the silence.

 

[KristyDarling]

Hmmm, this is such a personal decision. In the end it''s totally up to you, but I can see how it might be interesting to see how others would approach the choice. Personally, I ADORE ECs and would keep the ring until I found some awesome emerald side stones and turn it into a delicious 3-stone EC in a basket setting with double claw-prongs!

But since you''ve laid out your choices, I would go 3b and get a 3 to 4 tcw eternity band. Were you thinking the eternity band would be ECs or asschers or rounds? (or other?)

Pleeeeease don''t alter your scrumptious solitaire by adding sidestones. It''s a PS classic and I know that you''d break a lot of hearts around here.

Thanks, MGR, for the thoughtful response! I totally agree that diamonds are incredibly frustrating and that once a purchase is made, often times, you''re really stuck unless you don''t mind losing thousands (which I''ve done in the past and hoped not to do again in the future). Part of me thinks I should just hold onto the stone for several more years and then see what I might get (like you did with the stone you had for 7 years). I''m sure I couldn''t buy my EC today for the price I purchased it for 3 years ago and yet I''m still losing my shirt by trading in or selling. Grrr....

I think you''re right to take my time on this and really tinker around before making a decision. I think I will definitely keep my solitaire as is. It''s the look I''m most satisfied with, fickle as I am. And I''m really a ring person -- not so into any other kind of jewelry, so I figure I''ll either keep the EC as is or find some kind of ring that really makes my heart go pitter patter!

Isn''t that just the pits about the ultrasound tech?!? And the funny thing is, she did tell us that everything looks normal. So, she wasn''t opposed to giving somewhat of a medical opinion, but wouldn''t reveal the gender. The first thing I said before we even started was that my husband and I really want to know the gender if they can see it. Her response was that they aren''t even looking for that in this scan, that they can''t tell till 24 weeks (which I KNOW isn''t the case). The baby was super active, so I suspect she did get a good look, but who knows. I can understand if she just couldn''t see it, but she said she wouldn''t tell us before I even got on the table. I''m SO hoping that she made a note in my chart so my doctor can tell me. This is likely the last ultrasound I''ll be getting unless something goes wrong (which, hopefully, it won''t). I''m going to call my doc tomorrow and see if she has the reports yet and what she knows. She''ll definitely tell me if she knows. We were so hoping we would know today, so we''re bummed. BUT, of course, the good news so far is that things look to be okay. I was just glad there were 2 arms and 2 legs and only 1 head, hehe. I''ll let you know what my doc says!

Well that''s just screwy! I found out at 16 weeks that I was having a boy...must be some policy or that tech was just being a witch

Anyway, I''ve seen the reports or at least the ones that my office does and if the tech knows your dr most certainly knows as it''s on the report. The nurses were even careful to ask if I knew so they wouldn''t say anything in case I didn''t. That is great news about everything being normal though...that''s all you can ask for so if you do have to wait then so be it. As long as he/she is healthy that''s the important thing

I can''t wait to hear what your dr has to say...hopefully she gives you the news you are wanting to hear!!!!

Awww, thanks, KD. I could actually see that too -- a nice EC 3 stone. Something Leon Mege-ish perhaps

....

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I think it is beautiful and agree maybe some sort of east-west setting might appeal to you more. I imagine you would not get much for the ring so I think you should keep it.

 

[Jelly]

How about a diamond tennis bracelet?

 

[blodthecat]

Hi Demelza,

I love your RHR.....and it would really annoy me having to take such a big loss on such a beautiful diamond. I think the setting is gorgeous too!

As for your ering.....OMG It's my ALL TIME fav Pricescope ring! I have always loved, admired and drooled at your ring

And for those who haven't seen it yet....here it is

Absolute perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you don't mind me posting a picture Demelza???

Blod

 

[MissGotRocks]

Thanks Blod for reposting her ring. It is absolutely scrumptious - you just can''t mess with perfection!

Dem I think when the right thing comes along you''ll know it. You do have the luxury of time - although when I get a bee in my bonnet to do something - it drives me crazy until I make a decision! Hopefully you are not as impatient as I am. Laying out additional cash is not always easy but when the right item comes along it''s amazing how fast you can run for the wallet! Ha!

On another note, I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. If you are able to tell us anything about the baby''s gender after speaking with your doctor, we''re all ears! Such an exciting time for you and hubby - now that you are feeling better you can plan and be excited!

 

[Lynn B]

Hey girl! Just saw this thread. Ouch, that is a dilemma.

OK - just throwing this into the mix -- but how about putting the value of the ring toward a pair of diamond stud earrings?! I don''t know how that would work out financially (if you would be able to not have to put any more $$$ into the project) and I know that you might not get as BIG as you would LIKE

... but I think you could get a very nice (and respectable!) everyday size... and if you use a vendor with a trade-up policy... well...

Just a thought!

ETA: I cannot believe that tech wouldn''t tell you the baby''s sex! Oh brother! Well, hopefully your doctor can tell you... and then, of course, you must tell US!!!

How exciting, Dem! And I am sooooo glad you are feeling better! xoxoxo

 

[dbgaap]

Someday, somebody will figure out a fair and practical way to set up a middle market (on the internet) for rings and stones. I bet there are people out there looking at your EC now and thinking, WoW! How much do you want? I''ll give you cash for it!
Save money for the buyer & get a higher price for you.
Obviously there is EBay, but that''s not the best way to go.
Oh well.... I''m really not a very entrpreneurial type, so I''ll just applaud whoever figures it out.

Your EC is gorgeous and I agree with all the other comments. I tried on a gazillion eternity rings before selecting my memoire and it''s the only kind I would ever buy.
And being stackable makes it fun, too. They''ve got really thin ones in various colored stones that look amazing when you put one on each side of a bigger one.

(congrats on the baby coming

Too bad we can't get Demelza together with Professer -- bet Professer's girlfriend would LOVE that ring!

Anyway, back to the topic. Dem, I would go for the eternity band. And even though you have to throw a bit more $ into the pot go for the size you want or you will never be happy with it. I've been through similar scenarios myself; "I could get this thing for X $s... or I could get this thing I REALLY want for X+Y $s...." The right answer is ALWAYS X+Y for me. And don't you have a wonderful new little bundle of joy on the way? Sounds like a big blingy eternity band would make a great Baby gift!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

That picture is not Dem''s current setting on her round stone, right? I know she had in set in the gorgeous SuperbCert Tiffany setting. I wouldn''t EVER change that! It is classic and enduring! Hope someone will post the diamond in that setting!

I take it you are not going to wear this blingy eternity band with the solitaire? I''m just thinking it might be too thick to wear with it. If you are getting one that can be worn with the solitaire, I''d definitely get the basket setting since that is one of the Tiffany settings!

I need to ask you something, Demelza, as I am considering the SuperCert setting, too. Have you had any problems with diamond bands sitting too high with the low setting on the solitaire? Would I be safe with most channel set or shared prong bands with it?

 

[Demelza]

Blod and Diamondseeker -- Thanks for the compliments on my rings!!!

You''re right, DS. I do have the Superbcert set and here it is:
