Hi Everyone!
I am continuing to work on creating a five-stone diamond band that will serve as both my e-ring and wedding ring. Because of this, I would want the ring to be a bit more "substantial" and have considered anywhere between a 1.25 to 1.50ctw (or .25 to .30 ct stones each) for specs. I plan to visit a few jewelry places this weekend to see if there are comparable rings, and try how it would look and feel on my size 5.25 finger.
That said, I have been talking with folks at BGD and WF about the potential project and for quotes. Both companies offer an upgrade policy on stones .30 or higher, and suggested to go this route if the funds allow the final price point. What is everyone's general feeling about the importance of an upgrade eligibility? IN other words, what pros and cons should I be considering in deciding whether to go with the .30 stones (if i like how it looks on my finger) in terms of upgrade benefits? Have any of you regretted not going for the larger stones because you wanted to upgrade down the road? And how exactly do upgrades work?
I'm so new to all of this so any guidance is deeply appreciated!!!
Thank you!
