Pippin: Think Rob Schneider "You can do it!!" Hold your breath, say a prayer and hit "finalize payment".

The staff, Ashely, Darin and Josh have been absolutely amazing. I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now for the setting. Ugh...and the search begins again.

Great!! Glad you found the perfect stone. JA and WF have a lot of beautiful settings on their website. It's always nice to go for simple and inexpensive and upgrade later when you have your gal's input.

What are your plans for the setting? There are so many to pick from. We'd love to help!! I forgot, did you already mention your budget and how much was left for the setting?

 

[Noahsmom]

I''ve got about $900 left for the setting. I was thinking of going with Pearlman''s, but then I found a setting I love at a local jewelers, but it is way out of range.

I am looking at Firenze Jewelers

The e-ring setting is $600, but I think I would like a nice bezel eternity band, which will have to wait.

I am trying to find an inbetween of an antique setting with a halo, but modern band. It''s so hard!

sounds pretty! the fluro will probably look great in an "I" can''t wait to see it!
