Which ACA?

I am SO excited about the size bump, I won’t lie! I am going with WF’s Elegant setting in platinum. My previous diamond had a halo, but I want this one to stand on its own with no distractions. And I really love that setting. What are you doing?

Just make sure you specify the height setting - whether you want it set low, medium or high. My K was set high and I'm ready for a low-medium height given the size.

HA! I was so tempted to go rose gold. Maybe next time. Now that I can upgrade so easily through the WF policy, things could get dangerous!

How funny that we chose the same setting.

Yes, the upgrade policy can be a problem. My lovely WF rep is a saint lol.

This is a very exciting thread! Can’t wait to see all the goodies.

Just remember that a high set diamond will look bigger than a lower set one!

Will do, thanks! The 2.88 faces up like a 3 carat so it's big enough. I'm actually looking at solitaire profile heights now as a picture to send to WF would be useful. Looking forward to a lower set stone as my previously set one (same size) was very "out there"!

This is helpful because in my case I am definitely going for "out there", and making no bones about it! High set it is!

As long as the ring fits snugly it should be ok in a high setting. When mine arrived, the ring was a quarter size too loose. The 3 carat spread and platinum prongs made it top heavy and the ring spun around. It was resized accordingly and it was fine.

I just spoke with my WF contact and they recommended a medium/high approach. That works for me. I am wondering about the spinning. I'm confident in my size but may need to add a couple sizing beads due to the weight. Hopefully I don't need to go for a resize. I don't like my rings too tight, but in the case of this one I know I need to get it snug.

True, but on the other hand a higher setting will get caught/hit against other objects much easier. i.e, your car door.

May I ask your finger size? I don't think sizing beads are necessary if the ring is a snug but still comfortable fit.

I'm your run-of-the-mill size 6. I can probably get away with 5.75 on a very thin band but at times that can feel tight. It's hard because temperature and hormones cause fluctuations!

A +3 carat diamond on a medium/high platinum WF Elegant solitaire will look great!

I totally agree. I LOVE low set diamonds. Make it so much more carefree and IMO more sophisticated.
