Help me pick out my engagement ring! 1.75 ct + three-stone, RB

[jenrc]

I'm shopping (for my own, lol) engagement ring, and I'm a little overwhelmed by all the options. I've read ALL THE POSTS here and you know everything - can you tell me where you'd shop/what you'd be looking for in my shoes?

I want a RB three-stone ring (platinum setting, pretty minimal, not too picky there, although I'd be happy for suggestions for plain, delicate settings). Size 5.25 finger, and I'm thinking ~1.75 ct for the center stone, and 0.5-0.7 for the side stones (any opinion there? I very much like the wall-of-bling look). We're looking around 20k right now, but would certainly go up to 25k, and I could probably talk my finance a little higher if I was desperate to.

If you were starting from scratch with that budget and general wish list, what would you do???

My favorite 3 stone is the Butterfly Trellis. You can see it here but I think more people have it. Hopefully they will post.

Whiteflash Butterflies setting - thoughts?

I currently have a solitaire and am considering this 3 stone setting by Whiteflash - anyone have it and if so, do you still love it? Any cons? Thank you!

@tyty333 Thank you! I prefer a four-prong setting, but I like the WF Trois Brilliant, W-Prong, and Trellis settings a lot! (How to choose?!?) How is WF on diamond pricing? That's my big question mark right now, I haven't really struggled to find settings I like, but the stones are such a big purchase that I'm second-guessing everything...

Oooh, actually now that I'm looking at the Butterfly setting it's really nice. If anyone else has pics I'd love to see them

Look at this thread!

I finally have Butterflies

After much hunting, hemming and hawing - I am pleased to announce that I’ve finally found diamond and setting peace. Yes, peace! Thank you to @soxfan @yssie and @Siamese Kitty for their creations and putting — nay, (nicely) forcing — this beautiful idea into my brain. The moment I saw @soxfan...

Edit...I personally would go smaller on the sides but it really depends on the look you're after. Are you OK with H?

the proportions in this thread are perfect! the 3 stones feel like a whole instead of 3!
