Helio! We are going with platinum. And yes, already discussed wedding rings with JBEG and a band will sit almost flush with the e-ring. Most likely going with a classic solid band.
That ring is truly exceptional -- it is exquisite from every angle, perfectly proportioned, delicate and elegant -- simply gorgeous! I''m bookmarking this thread as an example of perfect marriage of stone and setting, and beautiful execution of design. Don''t forget to post hand shots, and congratulations!
Thank you to everyone for your kind comments. We have been having a great time working with Erica at JBEG. The process has been so smooth and easy.
We did modify the original Julia. It is now 6 prongs since our stone is "only" a 1.45 as compared to the 3.6+ carat in the original Julia. We felt that given our stone was smaller less metal would show it off a bit more. And no, the basket will remain solid as indicated in the CADs, no extra bling below. Just a personal decision on our part.
I saw this in person when I was ring shopping, it''s lovely!! The CADs don''t do it justice, it''s so petite! Can''t wait to see your real life photos.
Y''all have been so kind and nary a negative word, so we are giving JBEG the official go ahead. You didn''t think we''d go ahead without getting the comments of the PS community, did you?
Thank you again to the community. You don''t realize how much help and guidance you''ve provided us through this ongoing journey. And, at the risk of sounding corny, we couldn''t have gotten to this perfect ring without y''all.
