So I decided on a channel tapered ring like the one pictured. It's being set as we speak. But I'm wondering should I ask to get a certificate of all the little diamonds on the band itself? Is that a reasonable request? There are 12 little ones and the salesperson says they're a range of colorless and VS1 diamonds but I wanna see it on papers too. Granted they are teeny tiny and the band comes out to 700 bucks (14k white gold) so I'm wondering if they're for real or what?

Also, how's the maintenance like since there's little nooks between the little stones that dirt can get into?

I'd appreciate your advice I'm so new to this stuff. I feel like i have never-ending questions! Thank you!

You won't get certs on the small melees. Given that a cert can run a couple hundred bucks you will significantly increase the price of the ring. Also these small stones show up quite white and you can't see inclusions so I wouldn't worry about a cert.

Solgen answered your question about certs. I've had quiet a few channel set bands and they are very low maintenance. Your ring is very pretty.
