I received a crazy nice gift on Valentine's Day, a pair of diamond earrings. Let's just say he didn't need to and he did anyway. The very best kind of gift. I also got a replacement wedding band. My original one had a tiny diamond missing and I had asked for a relatively inexpensive one to replace it. In typical hubby style, he replaced it with one that was WAAAAY more pricey than necessary and, well, to be honest, wasn't exactly what I wanted. So we resolved to return that. Then he said to me- and you really should have seen my face- "why not upgrade the earrings too then?" Hello, whaaaat? Yes!
So now, instead of going to the jewelers that he used (which is a very popular commercial jeweler) and in typical me style (equal bashing time) I am over analyzing, researching and driving everyone crazy with figuring out where to go and what to get.
I discovered Pricescope, an online forum dedicated to gems and all loveliness associated with the pursuit of them!
Now, I want an upgrade on my earrings and eventually a redo on my engagement ring and wedding band. Oh, the floodgates have opened!
I know I want my emerald cut diamond (which if I had to choose over again I would have gone with a cushion cut, but it is still lovely and quite unusual) in a prong setting with a halo also in prongs. I want an ultra thin band with the tiny diamonds on it and a matching wedding band.
I don't like the bezels as seen up here.
I do like this- but maybe not for the both the band and the ER...too much?
Ooooo- and I haven't even started on the actual gift!
This is what I am thinking-
Cushion cut studs. I don't think a halo with them. I like the clean lines of the naked stones. I am ok with enhanced or laser treated stones- I have heard they are crappy for rings but great for earrings- I guess it has to do with the way you see a diamond on your hand as opposed to seeing them on your ears?
