Hi, ceg! Yes, there are many of us who understand the stuggle of always wanting a little more or something a little different! I am not comfortable wearing a larger diamond than I have, so I have been buying other diamond rings just because I love them and love to have a project going! But you know what? I really don't wear them! I also think they will be too large for my girls' worlds, so I think maybe I should sell them and start over with more modest size stones. I have this conflict going on ALL THE TIME! I am rarely without a project, however, our youngest daughter got engaged the weekend before New Year's, so all my time and attention right now is involved in wedding planning. I research everything to death just like I do with jewelry and it really consumes all my time!:lol: So I do think finding some kind of other interest might at least take some of the diamond dilemma away!

I love your current ring and the setting is one of my favorites! I hope the new band will add a little extra variety and satisfy your desire for something new for the time being. I am maybe one of the few here that does think there is such a thing as too big, but that varies so much depending on one's social circle and comfort level wearing a large diamond. I know I could be happy with a smaller stone, but because I don't need to sell, I won't do so anytime soon because I am quite positive I'd miss the rings I have and know that some of the stones would be difficult to replace. But it kind of gives me peace to know that I really would be okay if they all were gone, because there are more important things in life than the material ones. I am very thankful to have the means to have such a hobby, though, and look forward to giving my girls some things through the years.

I, too, notice the CZ is bigger. Can you take a side pic? Wondering how much higher it sits than your current ring.
Your approach of watching WF inventory and taking your time is a good one. Now that you know the difference in appearance between what you have and 10mm it will help you determine if that visual difference is worth the price when one becomes available. And in the meantime you can enjoy your beautiful ring and new EW band on its way to you!

Hi @ceg
Late to this thread but yeah I was obsessed for a while. Then a new obsession gets into my head and I let go of the old ones for a while. I think a number of us that find PriceScope and linger have obsessive tendencies so if it isn’t bling it’s something else. Enjoy you stunning ring, and it is so gorgeous!! And find other things you might like to add to your jewelry collection. Personally I’ve run through custom pieces, and kinda made my way through branded pieces so now I’m on to updating my purse collection. It will always be something with me. And probably you too. Maybe you just need to branch out again.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

NOW Y'ALL LISTEN TO THIS!

I sent a pic of my new Lily along with my Dahlia to the lady at White and Ivory where I bought Lily. She wrote back that she loved my ering. I told her thank you and that I was debating setting my stone or a new stone in an EW Margot. Just a few minutes later she emailed back that she has a brand new Margot in platinum that was made for a lady who changed her mind. It was made for a 9.7mm stone. It is freaking crazy! What!?!?!

The HUGE TWIST here is that yesterday I made an appointment on Monday to look at a 9.7mm stone that I saw on the wf website last week.

I am completely and utterly shocked at this fate!

It is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What incredible serendipity, how exciting!!!
The EW Margot is one of my most favorite settings, but like you, the price tag is a bit more than I can justify...
Fingers crossed all the pieces fall into place!

Oh my. I love this band. It's delicate yet very noticeable. The milgrain is fine and crisp. I think I may have scratched a mosquito bite. :lol:
