Your reset is my favourite! I love this look on you. Very very sophisticated with the stunning bands

Thank you! Your words of encouragement in my previous thread really helped bc I do love your collection!

 

[nala]

I really love your solitaire, and the bubble band compliments it very well, it doesn’t dwarf your stone at all.
Try it maybe with a plain gold band or with an engraved one, or with a marquise and dot band. I really like mine with a marquise and dot band.

Yes! I have quite a few. Will add some to this thread as I rotate them! Ty!

Damn this is a gorgeous reset @nala! It looks gorgeous and very substantial

Than you!

I am always amazed by your finds. You have a great eye for settings and bands. Love to see more pics

So I love your halo setting as you know.....but I always have this feeling like a beautiful stone is being strangled by the halo... this let's the stone be free!!

 

[Babyblue033]

I gotta echo everyone else who loves that bubble band! Love the overall look!

 

[MissGotRocks]

It is beautiful as a solitaire and versatile as you can change the look up with the bands!

I just wanted to also say that out of all your resets that I have seen this one is the best to me too! It looks gorgeous!

Thank you! I gotta tell you, my wonky 3 stone really ruined me, probably more than the halo. I can see why you stick to a 3 stone! I think that will probably be my next detour before I go back to my halo

Wow! Thank you!

I love it Nala! It reminds me very much of how I wear my rings. I try to love a halo but I just can't with a larger round stone. I love cushion halo's though. Your set is perfect.

Thank you! My problem is that I have a wandering eye and a new stone, so I long to see it in different dresses. Lol.

 

[luv2sparkle]

I totally get that Nala! I would do that if I could too. I could visit with a halo for a round stone if I could change it easily, and if I could keep putting my stone in the setting and taking it out again! Could someone please invent that. It would have to be better than ring guards. I have one for my original solly.

When I was first engaged and for the first 20 years of marriage, I had a solitaire. It wasn't until later that I had a three stone and then eventually got the larger three stone. On my hand, I just think the three stone has a more balanced look and I would be hard pressed to give it up. Hubby loves the three stone too. Still, there is something heart stopping about a beautiful solitaire! I think once you've had the extra umph of a three stone or halo it is hard to then go back to a solitaire. However, you wear it well!!

Ok. So here it is with a simple band

Thanks to all of you for encouraging me to commit to my solitaire in my rt thread. I’m going to go ahead and post a thread here now that I’m learning to adapt to my solitaire look. lol.

Oh my word nala, your ring is gorgeous!! LOVE your entire set! Your diamond photos of your solitaire are beautiful!! I just spent the better part of a hour this afternoon, & nothing of mine came out anything like yours!! What did you do to make them look so good?!? I really like that size--the 2.5 looks great on your hand--congrats!! My fav stack is with the bubble band, in your first pic, ooo la la!!

Lol! I just use my iPhone 7s, take them in my black interior suv which I think provides the right amount of shade on a sunny So Cal day!! I swear I don’t use filters!

 

[CareBear]

I love the solitaire! Are you keeping it in this setting?

 

[nala]

Thank you! I plan to keep it for a while. Lol.

 

[prbaglady]

Thank you! The band is from one of my jewelers. He sells them on Etsy as well!

@nala could you share a link to the Etsy store of your jewelrer who sells the bubble band? Love the ring and the stack!
