Have just commissioned Steven Kirsch to make my upgrade engagement ring.Steven is also going to source the stone for me. As I am living in Ireland price of customs and duty tax etc makes it the most sense for Steven to source it. Am getting a fancy light yellow diamond (more than likely radiant, but will see what Steven comes up with) with a delicate double paved halo with fancy light yellow meelee with a plain gold shank intertwined with side leaf detail also micropaved in fancy yellow meelee. Will wait until I get the stone before I finalise on design, but this is the general gist. My main inspiration was neatfreak's ring which I adore (I hope you don't mind me using your ring as inspiration), Heidi Clume's (sorry not sure of spelling) Seal engagement ring and this beautiful cigaret box by Steven. I just love gold and can't wait to see it sparkle . I just have a few questions.
1. I am a bit unsure of what ring size to order. My current engagement ring is loose, can spin a lot in cold weather but not in warm but does turn easily. I hadn't a clue what size I was so got my current ring sized and it is an N which is a 6.75. I ordered a 6.5 as the 6.75 is loose. However I was trying on fly rings here in Ireland to get a feel for different styles and tried on one that was a very comfortable fit, slid on and off easy and also a little loose. When I asked the size I was told L1/2 which is about a 5.75 and was told it was too big for me.So more than likely my actual finger size is between 5-5.5 so not sure what size to order. Will a jeweller be able to give me an accurate measurement? I suppose that is the best thing to do.
2. I want to get a simple rope band to act as my wedding band. I am getting Sally of Heart of water to do this as Steven's quote was a little $$$. I really want to go for 22Kt to get that really yellow look, do you think this is wise and will it be durable?
Sorry for long post and appreciate any advice,
Thanks Scarlett
