Here's a weird thought... Could I get this setting, and then save up and out an asscher in the middle? Is that nuts? http://www.jewelsbygrace.com/art-deco-inspired-princess-cut-diamond-halo-ring-70#.Vp2U6PZe6K1

My mom first showed it to me, and she's not going for it. I'm really drawn to the bright sparkle of the diamonds and the excellent finger coverage. My only concern is that if it's a hollow setting then I won't like it.

I don't think you will get the face up value of a high color OEC but thought I would toss this out given the suggestion of trade up.

That's a lot of coverage, lovely. You get a few days to look when you buy. Very pretty!

pearaffair|1453178298|3977792 said:Hmmm. Here's what I'm thinking: M colour, excellent/ideal cut. I'm going to try on a bunch of rings to figure out the best size of centre stone. Thinking either one solitaire, or a three stone ring with either rounds or cushions. Hmm. I've got some shopping to do!

I'm going to see if I can try on some rounds today or tomorrow, I'll post pics and you an help me decide which size looks best![]()

The largest well cut stone is what you should be looking for....you've come to the right place...
PSr's love the search!
almost 6mm x 8.5mm will be a lot of finger coverage...and more when set in a halo.

The MRB 1.22 N I1 would be nice but yellow.
Have you checked loupetroop?

ok, so i kind of love this idea...three stones for your budget! Ja's trade up just means you have to spend double... if you ever decide to trade up the center, it will be almost impossible NOT to spend 2k lol

If you go to their retail website (in Chicago) and then call them you can get a discount. This was posted on another thread about Diamond Zone.
singer said:How about this GIA graded emerald cut? Not sure if it would be completely eye clean, but it looks pretty good for an SI1! Good depth and table too!
James Allen has a great trade-up policy as well! They also give a Prisecope member discount.
