To celebrate the birth of my second child in July, I will be getting a jewelry related gift. My conundrum is which option to choose from two appealing possibilities. I am torn because this will be my only jewelry project for a long long time and I am drawn to both options. It is only the old "birth of a child" excuse and the $100, 10k posts gift from Andrey (thanks!!) that is making DH even remotely open to either option at this point
Note, these "baby gifts" and for mememememe and will not be passed on to any kids in the future Until I die that is.
Option 1: 4mm scattered diamond band from WF. I have always wanted one, and would wear it stacked with my half eternity that I got when Hunter was born on days I don't want to wear my big bling. There are some pics of the look here in this thread: https://www.pricescope.com/communit...bands-no-e-ring.146850/?hilit=scattered plain. Cost to me: ~$600. Pros: unique symbol of my second child, relatively small cost to me. Con: would I regret not getting my reset that I have been hankering for for three years? Will I feel I "wasted" the money by spending it on something other than the main project I have been working on for three years (e-ring)?
Option 2: Reset my solitaire into a three-stone using my new .70cttw studs as side stones. Cost to me: ~$1300. Obviously been wanting this for a long time. Pros: Seems like a good opportunity to finagle some jewelry money for the reset, I will not get another opportunity to spend money for... two years? Con: Slighly higher cost. Will I regret not having a stand alone piece to commemmorate my second child?
Thoughts?
