Help me decide! I''m going back and forth on what I want for an engagement ring and only you PSers, with your vast knowledge, impeccable taste, and endless imaginations can help me!
My boyfriend is "surprising" me in as little as 6 weeks with a 2.5ish asscher cut, but I am going to decide on the setting. I know I love the split prong setting and I know I want it set in a basket of some sort. I also do not want a halo at this point b/c the 2.5 is already large and I am young so I don''t know if I can quite pull off the bling of a halo. I love simple and clean, which is why I love asschers, but I also like a deco-vintage-classic look.
So, that brings me to my two top faves!
1- "Clean and Classic" classic asscher with small (.25-.4 ctw) tapered baguettes in a platinum basket setting, don''t forget the double prongs when you imagine it! I''d prob go with a plain platinum wedding band.
2- "Big but dainty" asscher set in a solitaire setting, but still with some sort of basket and double prongs (any recommendations?) worn with TWO bands beneath it- first plain but thin platinum band, then closest to my palm a dainty vintage band like ones at Fay Cullen, for example. I like this option because if I travel or just don''t want to wear my e-ring, I can wear just the two bands together and look quite chic! Plus you can always collect more! example: http://faycullen.com/eternity/300/c1202t1d.html
Help!! I am seriously split! My ring size is 5.75 if that also helps you envision this scenario! Feel free to recommend any ideas or styles!
Thank you all in advance! You are enormously helpful and I promise I will post pictures when all is said and done!
