And the search begins...but I'm already stuck. Help!

[cclay715]

We've just started to search for my new e-ring and it's my second time around. Unfortunately even though I don't love the man anymore, I am absolutely obsessed with my first e-ring. It's been in hiding for quite a while and now it's time for a little out with the old in with the new. I've never been a traditional, solitaire e-ring kind of girl although I'll say with my research, they've certainly been growing on me. I still need something a bit different/unique and substantial yet feminine due to my long fingers. My first e-ring was a Cartier Nigeria, Sz 6, 5.57 tcw approx 147 D-E pave diamonds in WG.

I've been lurking on the forum, checking out rings and bookmarking those that I have an immediate reaction to. I tried on a Leon Mege 2.46 LY w/ micropave halo setting at JbEG and unfortunately, it looked a bit too dainty for my incredibly long fingers. http://jewelsbyericagrace.smugmug.c...-Diamond-Leon/14435153_QZEZg#1070675412_4YZzW

I'm including pictures of others I've found that struck me including a Cartier rose quartz...too soft!..but I'm all over the map (pear w/ halo, AVOEC, OEC, champagne BR, etc). Anyone have any ideas or could point me in the right direction....my boyfriend will be upset if I pick anything close to what I already had.

The rose gold is so yummy with the rose quartz and I'm loving about the prong diamond detail http://www.cartier.com/show-me/jewe...y/b4079600-inde-mystérieuse-ring-medium-model

Beacon's reset is tdf https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/reset-my-stone-split-shank.96199/

And asethi100's LY caught my eye also because of the unexpected LY RB https://www.pricescope.com/communit...nd-the-ring-round-yellow-halo-diamond.162276/



The champagne RB and the slight opening between the RB and halo is lovely!

After trying on the Leon Mege I posted, I love micropave but think I'm a pave girl. Don't get me wrong, I think micropave e-rings are beautiful, just not for me.

I love the Anne Marie split shank and the fact that particular e-ring features an antique cut cushion helps me really visualize (I think that might be the way I'm going with my center stone)

Angela Round is gorgeous too - that's a definite try on since it's so unique!

Here's another (minus the basket) that I'm into....wondering if MB could create with a smaller ctw center?http://www.markbroumand.com/product...gagement-Anniversary-Ring__1275-D7749521.aspx

and this one too - again, anyone who if he could create for a lower price point? http://www.markbroumand.com/product...gement-Anniversary-Ring__2365-1D86351275.aspx

I like the uniqueness of the last 2 halo settings that you posted. They both have a little bit of an antique feel. On that note, you might want to look at Single Stone:

great site suggestion - thank you!!!

Gypsy - the GOG link to that round....it's stunning! and the first halo you posted is my fav of all links. We're looking at loose stones right now and that will definitely be a consideration for a setting. Gorgeous! thanks for all your help and my boyfriend appreciates it too
