Hi all! I''m a long-time lurker but first time poster. First I wanted to say thank you to everyone for sharing your knowledge and beautiful rings on the forum. It has helped me immensely in the decision making process for this upgrade.
My original e-ring was a 3/4ct emerald cut solitaire. My new ring is an old European cut set in platinum with small accent diamonds and french-cut sapphires.
Diamond specs:
1.20ct
VVS2 clarity
K color
I absolutely LOVE the setting…but, I have a few concerns about it. I''m torn between resetting or leaving as-is. The diamond is original to the setting, and I know that rings like this one, in their original condition, are becoming harder to find, so I kind of hate to separate the diamond from the setting.
On a side note, the little cut-outs on either side of the diamond look to me like they may have originally had a stone set in them but I can''t tell for sure. The way the flat side of the triangle is pointed inwards makes me think maybe they weren''t meant to have a stone there.
I am scared to death to wear the ring due to the fact that the diamond sits up very high and is only held by 4 prongs. I''m so afraid I''m going to knock it off my desk or a wall and chip the stone. I thought about just not wearing the ring around the house, but I''m used to wearing my e-ring 24/7 and I don''t want to have to worry about taking it on and off all the time.
I am having an extremely difficult time finding a band that will go with it. I think it needs a curved band which will almost have to be custom made and that''s out of the budget at the moment. If I decide to keep this setting I need to find something that I can wear now that looks good until we can have one custom made. I''m thinking a thin sapphire or diamond eternity.
I would love to hear your opinions? Reset or keep as-is? And what kind of wedding band if I keep this setting? TIA!

So now I''m on the look-out for a band. I''m currently wearing it with my original 2mm plain band. I actually really like the way it looks, but since the profile of the band is so low, about .5mm, the engagement ring slides over it and you can''t even tell that I have a band on. I have to keep moving it back in place.
