My half-bezel "temp setting" is way too big for my left hand now that I've lost more weight, and it looks like I'll be replacing it sooner rather than later. I tried on some three-stone rings yesterday, and really liked how they looked on my hand, but only if the proportions of the ring have side stones 1/2 size of center stone.
Which brings me to my current dilemma!
Please share your opinions on these two side stones my local jeweler just took in on trade-in. They are two .31 carat GIA ExExEx, I color, VS2 clarity, which come with their diamond dossiers. EAch stone's numbers and IS (took my own scope!) looked good. I didn't bring my H&A viewer, because I'm not concerned that the stones be H&A, and my jeweler already thought I was a little weird with the IS, but he humored me.
He's offering the pair for $950 (plus tax), which will bring the total to around $1,000. I did a search on WF and JA's sites, and there just doesn't seem to be a lot of inventory to compare these stones to. Based on what I saw, these seem like an okay price -- not a deal, but easier to buy them locally where I can see them in person and not deal with shipping and finding a matched pair. Does this make sense or am I fooling myself?
Also, my current stone is an AGS 000 Infinity .77 carat G color, VS1 clarity -- the smaller side stones are two grades lower in color. For those of you with three-stone settings, how picky were you about color grades matching?
I'll send them to Wink to put in a new setting at some point, but I might wear them as studs for a while.
Thanks!!!!!!!
