Please show me your 1.8 carat E-rings!

[nodeulee]

Hello Everyone!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask for the pictures, please re-direct me if I did not post in the right forum!

So I have confirmed that my boyfriend has bought my engagement ring and it is currently in process at JA!
(I was unsure he bought the ring on JA because he kept mentioning the Tiffany ring... I went off on him last night and he decided to come clean and show me the confirmation email @annagene12 !!! I was freaking out for a while since he kept mentioning the 1.37 tiffany ring via text, via phone... long story... annagene12 knows! lol)
He said JA said it would take a month for everything to be complete... so I just wait...

I wanted to see if anyone has a 1.8 carat(ish) solitaire ring you can show me so I can see the approximate finger coverage.

My finger size is a 6.5 (6.75 on bad days lol) and the diamond he purchased was a 1.83 I- VS2.

To be fair, I tried on a 1.55 carat ring at Tiffany so I am assuming? it will look slightly bigger than that but... if anyone wants to show off their bling, I would love to see your rings!

@pandalicious wanted to know if you ended up finding something you loved?

Thank you everyone!

oh! your finger size does not have to be a 6.5! (would help if it was) but I would just like to look and day dream about mine

I am sooooooo excited for you!!!! It is going to be gorgeous. I think you will be very happy with the size if you like the 1.55!

I would also encourage you to look through this one - there are lots of different sizes, but you might find some here

Hey girl! I didn't get the notification for the tag so it was just by chance that I saw this

First of all, congrats on getting this sorted. I am SO excited for you and hope that you love the ring. I'm so excited!!!! Which setting did you get? I know you were looking at a Tiffany-like setting.

We still have not ... after getting close (like, writing a check close) with a 2+ J, we (*I*)decided against it because it was not quite right. It had great fire, brilliance and angles (ASET, Sarin and Gemex confirmed), but the arrows were rather fat and imperfect. Also, I definitely noticed a tint after staring at it for so long!! My indecision has driven my boyfriend ABSOLUTELY crazy, but we're only on month 1. I will tell him that it took you guys a few months so we're still on the right track

Now I'm in a similar spot to you where I think we will go for slightly smaller and a better color. Will post once we get close to a decision!!!

Ooh I am glad you are close! My boyfriend is just glad this is all over lol he keeps saying that this whole process has made him look at diamonds in a different light (me included).
I went for the 6 prong knife edge (not the presentation one)

Hope you find your diamond soon! (but to tell you the truth... I kinda miss researching, looking at, running hca's on different diamonds LOL! )

That setting is so nice and def the one I'd have gotten from JA too. Well done guys.

Haha, when I thought we were going to get the J diamond, I felt kinda sad that the search was over as well ... like man, that was anticlimactic!

Your wish is granted....here is my 1.81 ct rb on a 5.5 size finger. I love this size. Big enough to get noticed, but still wearable for every day casual dress.

thank you! That was from the pre-Covid era. You should see my nails now

He hid the ring box in the YSL bag. I thought the bag was the gift and didn’t realize he was proposing, so I almost threw out the ring box with the rest of the stuffings in the bag in the garbage. Gave him quite a scare when I was unknowingly trying to throw out his ring

Sorry to hijack @nodeulee , but @Kaycee2018 this ring is incredibly beautiful! Would you mind me asking what setting it is? I’m looking for a 6 prong thin setting as well.

Thank you @pandalicious. The setting is from Adiamor (see first link), but I had them modify it to 1.8mm and soften the knife edge. I went with the same setting when I upgraded with Adiamor. Whiteflash recently released a similar, really nice looking setting that I’m considering switching to (see second link). HTH

All I can say is, thank goodness for Whiteflash's VERY generous lifetime upgrade policy! Very soon after receiving my 1.4ct ACA, I realized it was too small for me.

Omg i am swooning!!! It is gorgeous! How do you feel about the 1.842? Do you think it is a doable “daily” size? Im so clumsy with my hands... im so deathly afraid if hitting it somewhere

I think a lot depends on your lifestyle and personal preference. Personally I don't wear much jewelry these days because I'm at home so much and I do a lot of baking and gardening, but I feel comfortable wearing the 1.8 ct ring as a daily ring while out and about. For me personally, my limit for a daily ring would be 2.5ct or no more than 9mm, but I know for many other PSers are happy to wear bigger stones on a daily basis. It really depends on you. If you're unsure you can try some CZ rings with different size stones to see what suits you best.

 

[Elise_k]

I agree with @mochiko42 ! I wear it almost daily and find it comfortable. I bang my hand everywhere and still haven’t damaged the stone in the past year. I could probably still manage with a little bigger stone if I’m forced to But I’d also wouldn’t choose a stone bigger than 9 mm for a daily ring for me.

If I were to do it all over again, I’d probably set my stone a little lower to make it more glove & pocket friendly.

Sorry for the thread hijack....

I'm so excited you chimed in @Kaycee2018! I am waiting for my 20th anniversary 2.81 (MMD OEC) ring as we speak, so it was awesome to see your upgrade (did a search) with the 1.85ct to get an idea of the size jump.

FWIW, I'm keeping my 1.81ct natural diamond ring because I find it such a great size for every day. Will be resetting it into a 3-stone

Agreed! It is a great size. I just got greedy But all things considered, I did really like the size and actually contemplated keeping it as an alternative e-ring. Somehow DH is quite over my diamond kick and was not on board
