Where should I go?

[Ice Princess]

....to get a REALLY GORGEOUS shared setting diamond band???

I''m looking for diamonds around the .35 ct range.....and about 5-7 in total.

Can anyone recommend where I should start and where I can have this shipped to Canada?? I''ve seen Whiteflash and Signed Pieces......anywhere else??

Thanks so much.

Mark Morrell, Leon Mege do great bands, too!

Is your diamond set low? If so, you may need to go with Memoire as theirs are set lower than most of the others. Theirs are more expensive, but it is worth it if you need a low set band. Pearlman''s sells Memoire and you can call and get a quote from them.

I saw a really pretty ERD one on here recently.

What exactly do you mean when you say, "shared setting"? A "shared prong" style? Can you post a photo of what you want?

Are you wearing it as a w-band? Do you have photos of your e-ring we can see?

Oooooooooh, this''ll be *FUN!*

I''ve changed my mind!!!!

I''m going to look for an amazing cushion-cut diamond around the 1ct mark and upgrade my current engagement ring instead!!!

I don''t have the diamond yet, so any recommendations would be most welcome as to where I could order a gorgeous one online!

Has anyone ordered from Icestore before????

Ahhhhhh, spoken like a true PS'er!!!

And yes, for a cushion definitely contact Mark at Engagement Ring Direct (ERD) is The Cushion Man!
He consistently can find the most gorgeous cushions. Post contenders here and we will help you choose. (I'm no cushion expert, I LOOOOOOOVE them, but I am a RB girl through and through, but there are lots of cushion experts here who can really help you get a KILLER one!

)

And no, I personally have never bought from Icestore, nor do I know of anyone who has... sorry!

And BTW, what are you upgrading from?

 

[Ice Princess]

Hi Lynn!

I''m an "RB" girl myself as you can see from my avatar!! It''s an amazing diamond....about .65 cts but looks more like .75! I love it!

IF I can find an amazing cushion at a reasonable price, then I''ll skip the upgrade and simply purchase a new stone!

Thanks for the info on Mark. I''m meeting with a jeweller here in Toronto on Friday but perhaps, I should contact Mark regardless to see what he has!!!

For my 10th Anniversary I want something "WOW" and got to thinking that it doesn''t have to be a traditional anniversary band, right????!!!!!

OK, so girlie, we are gonna need some pictures of your current ring!

We are picture CRAZY around these parts, and we can get pretty FIERCE and SCARY

if we don''t get them!!!

There''s a lot of upgrading around here, but usually through a vendor that offers a full trade-up policy; so usually the *old* has to go back to help pay for the *new*.

Does the jeweler you bought your RB from offer such a policy? Not a lot of B&M jewelers do, but almost all online vendors do.

Ice store is great and so is Mark with ERD as others have mentioned!! They are great for cushions. Many of us change our minds a lot around here LOL!

ETA: GOG and WF can probably also find you a great cushion.

I''ve changed my mind AGAIN!!!

it''s going to be a RB or Princess Cut!!!!!

And, I''m NOT upgrading......this will be a totally NEW diamond!!! I''m told the RB and Princess cuts are among the most beautiful and classic and looking at them, I have to agree! I ADORE my RB!

My hand isn''t large.....ring size is about 5 1/4, so I''m looking for 1ct or just under if the prices are better.

I really liked the fancy shapes until I started looking at diamonds - I was quickly won over to the ideal cut RB. I can''t wait to see what you finally buy.
