Hi All,
I have been lurking here for a while now. I love it here, all of the information is invaluable and I just love everyone''s ring (although I start to obsess and then that gets me into trouble). I found this forum as I was trying to find a new setting for my marquise wedding diamond and yikes!, I wanted it in yellow gold.
Yes, I know that- a) marquise are not popular, and b) yellow gold is not popular either. Because of the lack of settings available (pretty much none), I went ahead and had one custom made by Simon G. It just came today and I had to share!! I LOVE IT!!!

I wanted yellow gold because I had upgraded and purchased a whole new ring set last year in white gold, but wouldn''t wear my yellow gold watches because it just didn''t match! (at least that is what I told my husband ).



I had a very difficult time ordering custom because I was worried that I wouldn''t like it. I finally decided just to go for it in February so turnaround was just over two months. When I got the call from my jeweler, I was very worried, I told them I didn''t want to see it because what if i hated it, but they helped to reassure me. I just didn''t want for it to look outdated.



Well, here it is. It has a center marquise that is just around 1.5 carats, but it looks a lot bigger.

That doesn''t look dated...it looks really really cool!

I am loving YG lately. Even thinking of just buying that wonderful old classic: plain yellow wedding band - to curb the itch!

Congrats!!

Looks beautiful to me! I don''t think it is outdated and really what matters is that you love it.
I really like the profile and how it sits low on your finger. It really looks perfect on your hand. Congratulations!

Wonderful ring! It doesn''t remotely look dated - it looks warm and sunny and rich. It looks like it was made for your hand - probably because it was!

I agree! It is a very sleek setting. I love how it "hugs" your finger in that side view. They did a great job! Wear it with a big smile on your face. I love it when people buck the trend and do what pleases them.

I just love marquises and I love yellow gold. I can''t tell you how many times I tried to wear yellow gold, but it just doesn''t suit my pale white skin.

It does not look dated, I think it is lovely. The main thing is if you love it that is all that matters
