Finally Updated Wedding Set

[AmberGretchen]

OK, so first of all, thank you to the many PSers who gave input on my choice of a replacement wedding band and to those on the WWT who urged me to get my e-ring re-sized. So, in these pictures are my new w-ring from Whiteflash - its their diamonds for an eternity style with 20 diamonds, 0.80cttw ACA''s. My engagement ring is a 1.12ct G SI1 center stone from a local store, with 0.50cttw ACA side stones, setting made by Whiteflash. The earrings which are making cameos in some of these shots are approx. 0.80 cttw I VS1 ACAs in martini settings.

I''m in love with all of it - WF was, as usual, a pleasure to work with. And its so nice to have rings that actually fit properly instead of worrying about them falling off.

Wow! What a great collection! I am trying to remember the story with your original wedding set. You had something break on your original signed pieces set right? Will you remind us of the story? I think you made a very wise choice with the 3/4 eternity in case you need sizing in the future! Also your earrings look huge!! Mine are .68 tcw (ACA/ES) in martini and I swear they do not look anywhere near that big! My e-ring is exactly the same size centerstone as yours and similar specs and it is really cool to see what it would look like as a 3 stone so thanks for that! Enjoy EVERYTHING!

ETA I love the blue-green crackly background for your last photos!! Is that a sushi dish? Super cool!

Beautiful set

 

[AmberGretchen]

Aww...thank you so much everyone for your kind words

Diamond Dana, Tacori, Marcy, MrsS, Diamondrnglover - you guys are so very sweet. I really am so happy with everything right now - it took a while to get to this point, but I really do love it and I think everything is a nice size for me at this point in my life (25 years old, 4th year of a PhD program) although of course there is always the upgrade game to play a little later in life

TanDog - did I miss something? Your avatar looks exactly the same as gailrmv?? Anyway, to answer your question, it was kind of a long saga that got me to this particular set, but I''ll try to summarize it briefly. I first got engaged in March of ''05 with a Signed Pieces setting. That was a 4-prong head. That head broke and the diamond fell out (fortunately at home), so I sent it back to be repaired and asked for a 6-prong head for greater security. I had some prong-bending issues with the 6-prong as well, and then that ring just snapped where the new head had been put in, which really put it beyond reasonable repair, and I decided it was time to start fresh. So I contacted Whiteflash and they made me this lovely three-stone that you see in the pictures in December of ''06. In the meantime, we were married in July ''06 and I had added the matching Signed Pieces w-band to my set, as a half-eternity. I''ve had only one minor issues with the WF setting since I got it - the center stone came loose and started to spin after a couple of months. In January 2007, I started losing weight. I lost approximately 45 lbs (give or take), and my ring size went from a 6.5/6.75 to a 5.25. Unfortunately, my wedding band couldn''t be sized that far down without ruining it, so I decided to keep my original wedding band intact for sentimental reasons and get this WF replacement w-band and have them size down my e-ring at the same time.

Whew, OK, I guess that wasn''t all that short, but hopefully it answers the question. Oh, and the dish in the last two photos is a soy sauce dish that I use to hold my rings while I''m cooking.

Thanks DKS - I''m working on taking more pics, although today is a day to work on the new apartment (still need to go get some small furniture and decorative pieces and stuff), so it might not be until Monday or so.

AG, I really like this look. I love it better then when it was just a solitaire with diamonds around it. Somehow the 3 stone really give finger coverage. And the earrings are purdy too!
