I feel for you. I've shrunk from a 9 to a 7.5-8, and all I've seen are size 5s in pre-loved for the past year. Either JBG or LAD had one last year that was a 7.00, but one of the stones was replaced with an OEC/OMC and the platinum had quite a bit of wear (much loved!). I was also price conscious as well.
I certainly will! I also have ruby and sapphire rings to stack with it. The sapphire is also French cut.
What a unicorn find!! Can’t wait to see hand shots!

My heart and breathing stopped when I first saw the picture. I scrolled down and looked at the size. I'm sure a squeal came out of my mouth when I saw that it was my size. I virtually had my fingers crossed as I typed questions to the seller.
.
It was go pre-loved or shell out alot of money to have one made. This works better! I used to believe in the bad mojo thing, but that has passed. I just love diamonds. Plus, there's money left over for more bling.
So here are the deets...
After a disappointing purchase from James Allen (https://www.jamesallen.com/wedding-...0ctw-trellis-diamond-eternity-ring-item-58944 ), this brightened my day. I had used their 25% off coupon to purchase the 4 ct. trellis ring. Since they had to make the ring because of my size, I asked that they make it just like the ring in their first 360 degree view video, where the ring looks like a conglomeration of individual vines splitting off to hold the diamonds. I also asked that the prongs sit no higher than the diamond tables. Their customer service department told me that I couldn't request ANYTHING. So I crossed my fingers. It didn't pan out. What I received reminded me of the kind of collars they put on fighting dogs, with spikes that go into the neck. Instead of the underside looking like vines, it looked like individual links. I do have to say that the ring sat nice and low and the diamonds were fireballs, even in low light. She was returned last night.
I was browsing my Instagram feed, and this ring popped up on Gilded Lane's page. She was selling it for a friend. The ring is platinum. Initially I though that the points were not clipped off, but looking at the video again it looks like they have good sized tables. She's 2.5 mm wide. Have I said that she's my size...size 8? Jocelyn said it is approximately 1.75 cts of eye clean stones. She posted a video for me and they look fabulous. I don't know the color, though, but I'm OK if it looks a little warmer - my OEC ER is a K.
I asked if her friend would consider taking a little less for it and no response for a day. I sent another message saying I am really interested in the ring and I hope I did not offend her. Still no response. I then asked DF to inquire about the ring and she responded by email to me. I had him call them pyramid cut diamonds. Anyway, turns out she thought she had already responded to me. I paid her asking price and the ring should ship today.[/QUOTE]

Share your secrets! Lol just weight loss? I'm pretty sure my fingers used to be more slim but never have been measured before my ering.. I think I am an 8.5 but my e ring is an 8.75 which spins a little but I think the sizing is right on to allow for summer and stacking.. I have some weigh to lose so hopefully WHEN I do my finger will also..
It was weight loss, 50 pounds, sadly due to my mother's terminal diagnosis and passing. I was down to a 7.5, but with no kitchen (renovation that's taking forever, done by us) and eating out often, I've gained some back.
I just started Invisalign this week to fix my bite, so I can't snack anymore. I'm hoping that will help also.

No worries. It was quick and hopefully not too painful for her. I'm OK. I've found that I have to not eat to lose weight. I don't eat enough to weigh what I weigh - non-existent metabolism.
Love your avatar, BTW.
Soooo, some good news. The ring has shipped.
Here's a new video...

I also just realized that's the band I saw on ig. I couldn't believe I was seeing one for sale in my size.. well almost my size.. Haha
And thank you.. that is my E ring that is lonely and looking for a French cut band friend.
I think your new band will make you an excellent avatar.
I see a little pyramid in the middle of your asscher. French cuts would complement nicely, as would carre cut diamonds.
