I just simply cannot stop admiring your beautiful, beautiful riing!! OM goodness I love it...one more question...do the diamonds on the split shank go 1/2 way down or 3/4 way down/around - I can''t really tell? Does it ever bother the fingers it''s against on the sides? Again, congrats on a truly unique and gorgeous ring!!
Oh no split shank - quite the contrary re "bulky" looking. I like it because it''s NOT bulky looking. It''s substantial but delicate and feminine to my eye anyway. I have been looking at wide shank, bulky settings because I am after an engagement/wedding look in ONE ring. I think yours fits the bill to a T!! Are you ever planning to put a band with yours? I would not. Really, it looks beautiful on your hand and I can see why you love it so much-you should! Could you elaborate a little more on the sizing issue? Wouldn''t you just get whatever size you are and it would be fine or should you adjust and make it a little smaller so as not to tilt? Not quite understanding your comment on this. Thanks and congrats again!Date: 9/25/2009 2:44:33 PM

I would say more about 1/2 ways, you really can''t see the ''end'' of the pave unless I flip my hand over. I was worried at first too that it would irritate my fingers, but I do not feel it at all. A good note to make sure your eternities or half''s are sized correctly because when I got it, it was a half size too large, which made it tilt and then you could tell it didn''t feel right. Sizing is key!!
I really wish I had time to get some decent pics on here. It is much more delicate looking in person. Many of my recent pics make it look ''bulky'' or like a thick men''s ring I think.
I don''t think I will add a band to it. Originally I looked at separate bands but nothing really looked right other than the flush ones designed for it. HOF makes a band that is identical to the ones I had made by my local jeweler but I got two made for the price of one HOF. I haven''t seen a band that looks right with how small the pave rows are on mine. So, I went with identical sized rows. They did an awesome job finding mini stones that were the same size as the ER.
