Pls help me with the upgrade of my JA-LM ring and pear jackets

[Phoenix]

Hello all,

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my thread which as a result of my silliness got messed up and didn't have a poll. So, I'm reproducing the Q's below and am also attaching pictures for those who requested them/ to better facilitate yr choice.

Anyhow, the orig. thread is here:

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/what-should-i-do-about-my-ja-lm-pear-ring-and-ja-pear-jackets.127142/

Thank you.

ETA: I've made yet another typo. The Q should say what upgrade option (singular), he he!

 

[Phoenix]

I''m soooooo sorry. For some reason, the pics won''t post. I''ll have to play around with them a bit and post later. Thank you.

 

[Phoenix]

Finally, a smaller pic of the pear ring, with two eternity bands...

 

[Phoenix]

Pear next to 3.02ct F VS2 RB. The colour of the pic is unrealistically too white (hence the diamonds appear whiter in the pic than they are IRL), perhaps due to too much flash. However, you can see the relative difference in colours between the H and the F. Maybe it's a bit unfair for me to place the H right next to the F, but you can see a tiny teeny tinge in the pear, can't you? Maybe this is all in my head, LOL!

 

[Phoenix]

Ah, I''ve just found an old pic where the bow tie can be seen. The pic is a bit blurry, but this will help you to see what I mean, so it''s really not *all* in my head after all, LOL!

OMG Phoneix...your pear ring is gorgeous!

But atlas....I hate to see jewelry sitting in a box and never getting worn but I also hate, hate, hate to
loose money so I picked the option to trade in all the pears to JA and get new big studs then trade in your old
studs at BGD and get a really big blingy nice cut round stone. So...the settings do go to waste but no
loss on the stones if I am correct.

Cant wait to see what you decide (and what you get!)

Thank you, tyty, for your kind words.

I''m at a loss as to what to do. I''ve been thinking about it and am still not sure.

 

[Phoenix]

Thanks for all the votes and comments, PS''ers.

I look forward to getting more feedback.

I''ll also contact Admin to see if they can close the other thread (not delete it but just close it). It''s a bit confusing having two threads going on at the same time on the same subject.

 

[Phoenix]

Pear Jackets with 2.03ctw RB studs (I can't seem to find a pic of just the jackets and am too lazy to go take new pics of them now!

).

 

[Phoenix]

Thank you, once again, to those who have voted and provided input/ comments both to this thread and the original one.

Lorelei, I think you possibly know me better than I know myself!

Keep the votes coming please, PS'ers. Thanks.

Oh absolutely, I was thinking of something like a sphene or a pad (something the colour of TGal''s new gorgeous pad). I wasn''t really into gemstones so much before but I''ve recently started to really love them, thanks to PS!! PS is sooooo to blame for so many of my bling obsessions!

 

[Phoenix]

Shameless bump for more votes and if possible comments!

Thanks, everyone.

Thanks again everyone for voting.

I think it's quite clear which direction it's going to go!

I've found some larger stones at JA (almost 3ct each, GASP!!

) and am waiting to see if they match.

Then the search for my 4.5-5ct stone will begin. BGD has been requested to undertake this!! YAY!!

Oh and some of you were asking what I'm going to do with my existing 3ct. I think I may have it set into a 3-stone ring (I've been planning this for a while now and still haven't got round to it. I also need to go and try on such a ring IRL and see how that looks on my hand), or I may just keep it as it is and wear it on day-to-day basis and save the larger one for special occasions

.

Watch this space!!

(Btw, lest anyone get the wrong idea, the LM pear is absolutely GORGEOUS!! It's just that I'm obsessed with higher colours, esp in rings and fancy cuts will show a TINY bit more body colour than RB. I hope another PS'er will snap up that baby once I've sent it back. Most people who have seen me wear it have expressed their amazement and admiration for it. Some even think that it's a 5ct diamond centre. Honestly!).

I think you made a great choice and if you decide to reuse the settings by putting colored stones in them, I''m sure the CSers will be happy to help find you some gorgeous stones!

(how about a big blingy sapphire pear, or a tsav garnet, in the pear setting? yum!)

Me thinks a pale pink sapphire would be GORGEOUS!!

I did think of tsav's originally but Dana said that it may look too dark in a halo, more like blackish green, so I guess that's out!

Oh I forgot - it''ll prob be too dark in the bezel. But I love the idea of a pink sapphire - or even a pad if you can find one you like in that size. That would be simply stunning. I''m really excited for your diamond and potential colored stone projects!

No worries. I didn''t realise until Dana mentioned it. I also love the idea of a pad. I will ask Dana and see if he can source one for me. Wouldn''t that be just?!

I''m excited too!!

. My poor dear long suffering hubby - I wish I could stop spending money on bling!!

LOOOOOOOVEEEE yr new kitties by the way. They''re simply the MOST ADORABLE babies I''ve ever laid eyes on.
