Hello all, I have been admiring everyone''s rings for such a long time and now I can share my E-ring mistake... but now we call it Serendipity.

I have been eyeing Daniel K''s Rosebud in Asscher cut for a very long time. I would stop by the jewelry store three days in a row just to try it on and drool. I loved it because it was a simple solitaire with a little bling.. Simple and elegant.

Here''s a picture of it attached.

My Fiancee sent pictures of the Daniel K Rosebud to his jeweler... But he sent him a link to Daniel K''s website.. our jeweler designed us the first picture he saw on the website, which was the Empress setting.
One month later, after the diamonds and setting was paid for, we saw the picture of the mistake.
I almost cried.. this was not my simple and elegant Rosebud. This looked liked my grandmother''s vintage gawdy ring

We almost had the diamond reset. But I felt a little sad knowing that this ring was made for me, and I didn''t want to orphan it. So decided to take a look at it in person...

I think you really and truly got the better end of that misunderstanding. Your ring is gorgeous! Every aspect of it is so pretty. I agree with Annette. Everything does happen for a reason. Now you won''t be tempted to reset your plainer ring into a halo someday. Someday came early!

I totally understand how you would feel, especially since you had your heart set on a certain setting but let me assure you that your current ring is just stunning regardless.

All mistakes should end up like yours. That''s a BEAUTIFUL ring! Your jeweller did a great job with the setting. Enjoy.
