Hi all, I''m engagement ring shopping and I need some big-time assistance as I pick out a setting! I''m almost definitely going with an asscher (very different from all of our friends who have princesses and rounds), and I''d like to pick a setting appropriate for the asscher; since i know very little about this stuff, any direction/advice would be appreciated!
I do know (after talking to her best friend) that side stones and a white metal are a must, but with the sidestones I want to make sure that i don''t overpower the center stone or take away from the classy, elegant look of the asscher (probably between a 1.2 and 1.5 carat, by the way). Her ring size is 5.5 or maybe 6 (I''ll be doing some investigating on that before I buy).
The only other info I have to go on is that she doesn''t want anything that juts out too high because she teaches 2nd grade and therefore keeps pretty active during the day (afraid she''ll scratch one of her kids or scrape/bang the ring against something during the workday).
Any idea on website or specific settings that sound like they fit the bill? I''m looking to spend 1 or 2k on the setting.
