Okay, my FI popped the question back in March and said that he wanted me to pick out my dream ring. I''ve spent the past 5-6 months doing a lot of research on diamonds and sapphires and have finally come up with two options that I think would be perfect! The problem is that now I just cannot decide between the two! I brought this up to the FI and he said quite casually, ''well, why don''t you scale back the center stones and get two rings instead of the one!'' What an amazing idea! (I can''t believe I didn''t think of that myself!). However, now I have a new decision to make, one ring or two? Two rings would be super, but should a gal only have that 1 special ering? I just don''t know anymore! Anyway, I am totally torn and would love to hear what the very informative and very kind PSers have to say on the matter! Here are the options:
OPTION 1:
1. If I chose to get only a diamond Ering, it would be an antique cushion, I''ve been drooling over this one in particular:

2. If I only got one sapphire ring, I would love something like this stone:

OPTION 2: The best of both worlds?
1. I''d probably spend slightly more on the diamond than the sapphire just so I could keep it around 1.5 carats, but since it''s antique I''d think about going with an even lower color. I suppose it all depends on what''s available. Also, I''d stick with the same setting.
2. The sapphire would go down to 1.5 carats, which is plenty big enough for me, same color, clarity, and I''d see if Leon could make the setting in WG.
Okay, I''d love to hear any opinions on this. I should mention that without my hours (and hours...and hours...) of lurking on PS, I could never have found such great options to begin with. Thanks for your help!!
