You can definitely see the colour difference!
Your updated ring with the 1.91 OEC is so beautiful it really shows off the stone.
And on a side note your hands are just fine :)

@DanniiD you are too kind and sweet...thank you! So, have you decided to purchase the diamond from Adam at OWD??? I think it will be very lovely in your rose gold and white gold setting. Did you buy it???

I have chosen to get it made at the RingConcierge, as its one of their Signature styles.
I will share once it's complete.
:appl:
I’ve been following RingConcierge on IG for some time. That setting is so beautiful! Her original is crazy gorgeous! This is so exciting DanniiD, I can’t wait to see your ring! :love::love::appl:

I am 90% Sold with Adam's stone, but the RingConcierge offered an alternate option which has thrown a spanner in the works. And offered me this stone for an extra $2000.
Obviously better in colour but all other aspects not so great - don't think its worth the extra $$$.

I think I will take with risk with a yellower stone and I did fall in love with it when I saw it.

Yeah, I don’t think there is any way that stone is eye clean. Adam’s stone is prettier and has much better clarity. If you want to go up in color I would stick with OWD as he has a huge selection and his prices are competitive.

The thin band is from Melanie Casey, even thou it isn't my actual wedding band - it does work well together. She has some lovely pieces: https://www.melaniecasey.com/products/diamond-tiny-line-band

I plan to stack an eternity band with it eventually as my wedding band, something like this:

How was your experience with Ring concierge?
I would love to hear more about what it was like to work with ring concierge on a setting!!!

I don't want to say anything negative about the RC as they have created a stunning piece and I'm super happy with it, but I felt their customer service could do with some improvement.

Adam from Old World diamonds was such a pleasure to deal with and responded to all my crazy questions promptly and helped me find something fantastic for my budget.

So in comparison to the RG, all communication was done via email, and it would take 3-4 days to get any kind of response, so I found the process a little stressful. I feel like a 10 min phone conversation would have eliminated weeks of back and forth emails. I can understand that are very busy, but felt because I wasn't spending big $$$ my business wasn't a priority, but I was happy to wait to get want I wanted.

I felt like I took a risk, as some of my questions weren't answered, but ultimately they know what they are doing and produce a beautiful finish. I'm a visual designer and very particular in with the way things look and my brief was to find a setting that was super fine and delicate in the final finish, so a little more reassurance and better customer service would have gone a long way in my case...

Hi DanniiD, I am also thinking about just getting the setting from RC. Can you share the price quote from RC for just the setting?
