Hi everyone.

This may sound really dumb, but it is totally bothering me, so much so that I am thinking of changing how I was going to remount my 1.5ct diamond.

I''ll try to keep it brief...my MIL gave me her 1.5ct round that was in her original e-ring a little over 2 years ago. I recently had it put into a simple white gold contour setting, but I don''t like it. I was going to have a 3 stone ring made with it. When I told my MIL this she said "That''s how I originally had the diamond set!" She apparently had a .15ct round on each side of her diamond in a platinum setting -- which is basically what I was going to do.

So what''s my problem? I don''t want the same ring she had! It''s bad enough that she keeps referring to the diamond as "hers" but for me to put it in the same setting she had would bug me. I would constantly be looking at the ring thinking that this is "her" ring.

So anyway, I am thinking about putting trillions instead on either side of the round. I cannot find a real picture of a ring like this, but I think I would like it. I tried the "build your own e-ring" on blue nile and liked the drawing but I still would love to see a real pic.

Am I being crazy? Has anyone seen a round with trillions before? What about a round with pear side stones? I really like 3 stone rings.

Thanks for your help.

Jellybean who can''t make up her mind.
 
She''s always going to see the ring as "hers" no matter what you do. Set it the way you like.
 
i agree with christine.....
so, do you really want different shaped sidestones? you need to get what it is that will make you happy.
 
That Mark Morrell is amazing!!!! For other options, what about colored stones or bagettes or adding pave to your band...you need to do something that makes you feel like its yours and then who cares what she says?!
 
I know I should not let anyone influence what I get, and I don''t think my MIL is saying that I shouldn''t get the 3 stone with rounds b/c that''s what she had, but it would just bug me knowing I got the same setting she did. It''s not against my MIL personally, I just don''t want a setting that someone close to me has. I know it''s dumb and it shouldn''t matter if everyone in the world has that same setting if I like it.

That being said, I have seen some pics of rings with pear side stones that I just love! Flopkins has one. I''ll try to post it. K-mom has one too, but I would be wearing it as a stand alone ring on my left ring finger. I like the way the curves of the pears are next to the round center and how the points of the pears kind of blend into the shank of the ring.

Thanks for the links of the rings with trillions -- I think they''re beautiful as well but there''s something about the pears I like a little better.

I think I will drag the little ones to the jeweler tomorrow and see if they have any settings I can see in person. It really helps that they have a kiddie playroom set up!

Keep the comments coming!

Hey belle!

Where is that pic from??!?! I love the thin shank and the surprise diamonds! I also would rather have a basket setting instead of a trellis setting for pears.
 
nice huh?

I love pears as sidestones, but then I am a little biased. The Tacori setting is lovely.
