I have posted a bit off and on with unclear intentions about what I want. Bottom line, a 30th anniversary ring. Currently I wear a bezel set 3 stone ring with M colored AVRs (1.16 center, 0.25 sides) and I love it, a good friend of mine designed the setting. I'll try to post a picture. Lately I'm having upgrade-itis. My mom died in August and when her condominium sells (very likely soon) some part of me thinks I deserve a spectacular ring with some of the proceeds (my husband thinks we should just sock it away with the rest of the retirement funds, but that seems so boring). I spent a lot of time caring for her in the last two years of her life and she, I think, would approve of getting something extravagant and beautiful. Anyway I have come to realize that old style cuts are my thing, and I have been working with OWD on finding a great center stone. Here are some contenders, and I would love any expert opinions on how they are likely to perform. I think I'm going to have one of them sent to me this week for in-person viewing. I have tried to post links to the you tube videos (not sure if it worked) but in any case I don't find them very helpful. I think they're not close up enough. The 3.10 is actually outside my budget but Adam seems very enthusiastic about it. I could probably swing it if it's fantastic.
