**UPDATE** New setting need advice NEW PICS

[hairgirl95]

Hello all-
thanks for the suggestion of how to resize my photos. Here goes nothing!
First--these pics do NOT do my diamond any justice. It is so fiery and clear. Its J vs1 ideal cut and throws rainbows and fire everywhere. Unfortunately a photographer I am NOT!! Wish I could show how pretty it really is. I think the vote so far is to go with the new setting (YES!!) let me know what you think with these clearer photos. Thanks sooo much for all your help.

First, the current setting:

They''re both pretty settings but very different from each other. Personally, I prefer the second setting... I prefer more delicate settings... both very different looks and I imagine type of sparkle.

I love the new setting! I really love that it can be very delicate by itself or more blingy with the added bands.
A lot of options with that set-love that! It reminds me of Ashley Judd's set--though I believe hers is set with a round?

I am totally sold on the second setting as well! I just wanted some re-assurance from some jewelry minded people. Talking to my dh about it is about as effective as him explaining to me how a turbo works on a car. lol

I CANNOT WAIT for my jeweler to re-open tomorrow. I have been staring at this for a week now!

Sera: I prefer the delicate settings too. I have had this setting for 4 years, and at the time its what I wanted. I liked the sparkle of the setting. Plus, I didn''t really see a lot of pave back then either. I can''t remember seeing ANY pave type settings at my jeweler. (And they probably have 5000 settings in stock. HUGE place.) Times change, trends change, and as this has become so popular I have fallen in love with it!!

sunnyd--thanks for the advice! I actually got the ering from americanset. They have a website on ebay (i know, ebay is usually not a positive place for jewelry) but I called their 1800 number and talked to a salesperson named Jeff. He was really really helpful. I ordered it off the ebay site and put my diamond specs in for the mounting head. I was given a 14 day fully refundable money back guarantee. He even emailed after it arrived to be sure I liked it. He even went as far as to send me a shipping label to return it free of charge if I wasn''t totally satisfied. He guaranteed I would love it. And love it I DO! The bands are from Moshiri jewelers here in KC. They are not a designer band with a name on them or anything. Just stock jewelry they carry. I cannot wait to get the diamond set and post pics!! Thanks for your help.
