Hi I thought I would get a little advice on proportion. I always assumed if I were to ever buy a ring....it would be a round princess solitare of high to redicilious quality. Then the hint was dropped that the GF does not want a a ring like that. She wants a sapphire in the center and I think she said surrounded by diamonds. I took that to mean something like diamond side stones but since then I have seen some diamond surrounded sapphire rings around. She also seems to like the so called "antique setting" look. Has anyone seen engagement rings like that? What size sapphire would be about right in a three diamond ring? what proportion would the side diamonds be in comparison to a center sapphire? I am thinking of a pair of 8* or whiteflash diamonds for the side stones and since I don''t have to worry about the diamonds being the center of the show, I am thinking 8*s of perhaps a half carat would setoff a 1.5 carat sapphire in a special way. Any thoughts?
