Hello!
I've been married for just over 6 years and I get to upgrade my 1/3 carat princess solitaire.
I've come up with two options, one is to get a ring wrap. I actually have one on layaway until payday in two weeks because it was on a great sale. Its a white gold, around 1/3 tcw, split between two princess stones. My ring fit inside, but there is a small gap to both sides. The ladies at the store said my ring was made for it, and it does look nice but the gaps I'm not so sure about. They're very small gaps, I doubt you would see them unless I pointed them out. The other thing that bothered me is that the wrap diamonds were a step up from my ring. Isnt it odd to upgrade a ring when the new side stones beat the middle one?
My other option would be to trade up my ring, and pay another $6=700 and try to get a fair 1/2 carat or so. I wonder how big I could get with $1200ish to play with... I want a princess cut I think, I'd be ok with down to an i or j in color I think... The store seems to have 30% off sales all the time.
I have very small hands. I'm 4'11' and my ring size varies between 4 to 5.75 if i'm up in weight. My hands are tiny. I'm not sure how big I could go without it totally looking fake. I'm young looking (I'm 24 but look 16ish), and I just want something nice, simple and sparkly.
I kept hearing that the wrap was the best option for me but I'm torn.
I know I'll have to make the final choice, but I would love any thoughts on this!
Thanks so much for reading this far!!
