What would you do in this situation???

[Taylorbug!]

Opinions PLEASE!!! My dh gave me a yellow sapphire (radiant with emerald side stones) then end of last year that is a three stone ring. One of my co workers recieved a yellow sapphire (cushion w/halo single band) a few weeks ago for her anniversary. I had been trying to find some curved diamond bands to wear with my ring and after lots of searching and not finding anything I felt suitable, I began looking at remount options. Well, last night while searching PS threads, I came across the most gorgeous ring. It isn''t like her ring,but it does have a halo. What should I do? I don''t want her to think I am copying her ring, but I so LOVE

this new design. This is a picture of the ring I want with of course a yellow sapphire center. I will also post a pic of a ring similar to hers. HELP!!! What should I do???

This is more of the look of hers, prong set instead of bezel.

I''d get what I want to wear without worrying about what anybody else is wearing. Besides, it''s not like you''re getting the exact same setting. If she throws a hissy fit over it, then so be it.

Yep, I totally agree.

I say get what you want and if she notices say something like "Oh your right! They do look similar! Great minds think alike". Make it seem like you didnt even realize it was close to her design.

Perfect answer! Besides, isn''t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

Get whatever you like! Halos are so in vogue right now anyway that she probably won''t even notice. They''re not all that similar anyway.

Tell her how much you adore her ring, and ask her if she would be offended if you got one similar to hers. She''ll probably be flattered, and if she is the sort to throw a fit over it, you''ll have found out before purchasing the ring.

I don''t get this at all. Why does the OP''s friend get any sort of say in what the OP does or does not buy?

Why not tell her how much you love the way her ring looks and tell her it''s inspired you to halo your sapphire.

It doesnt metter what she thinks, but in a work situation something like that can be an uncomfortable situation if taken the wrong way. Now if it was the OPs friend, sister, In Law or lady down the street, then it would be a "I dont care if she is upset about it" kinda thing because it wouldnt be in a work enviroment.
