Oh guys I've got a story for you. Get some coffee because this is long. This is my set. We got it a year and a half after we got married. My original ring was yellow and white gold only. I loved this set so much. When I was pregnant with my second child, I went to a restutrant for dinner with my husband. I was wearing the ring only not the band on that day. I took it off to eat some messy food and put it in a zippered pocket in my bag. After we got home I didn't check on it and put my bag on the table. A few days later I wanted to wear it looked in my bag and couldn't find it!!!!!! I freaked out. We called the restaurant to ask if anyone found a missing ring but no one did. Our car was at the dealer being fixed and it was night time. My husband snuck in at night to open our car to look for it because there was a possibility that the ring slipped, and frankly we were not sure if the guys at the dealer would return it if they found it. I realized I may never see my ring again. I cried and cried because I loved it and I did what I could to not lose it. Although my husband didn't say anything, I felt he kinda blamed me, and that really hurt. It is not the biggest ring, but it was special to me because my husband took great care to select the stone. I was so sad. I looked for it at home thinking it might have fallen from the bag somehow. I had numerous dreams that I found it under the couch or behind something. When I woke up and realized it was just a dream I felt so sad. I looked probably a gazillion times in the bag I was carrying that day. I even put my husband's ring in the bag and shook it hard to see it it would fall.Then my husband quit his job due to several reasons including his boss.

Two years and nine months later, a family member came to visit. When I went to sleep I saw that I left the bag on a table. I thought to look for the ring in my bag AGAIN, but thought havent I done this so many times? But I opened it anyway. I put my hand inside under the lining and felt something that turned out to be a part of the outside decoration of the bag. Then I put my hand again and felt something else. I felt it again and it felt like a ring! I tried to see if I can get it out but in the darkness I couldnt. So I got scissors and cut the lining a little in a hidden spot to not ruin the bag. I took the object out and IT WAS MY RING. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was dreaming, so I started to remember things I did that day to convince myself I wasn't dreaming. I put it on my finger and slept.

The real shock came when in the morning I tried to see how it got inside the lining. There is no opening or rip whatsoever on the outside or inside thorough which the ring could have slipped in the lining. The only rip was the one I made with the scissors. I looked soooooo many times and said to myself I'm crazy. No hole was found. I even took the bag to my mom and sister and told them the story. You should have seen my mom's reaction when she looked and searched and didn't find a hole in the bag. My husband and dad didn't take my story seriously, so I made them look, NO HOLES. Then I remembered praying so many time to God and asking Him to let one of the Angels get my ring from where it was dropped/lost it/stolen. We hear and read about paranormal things but it is so scary when it happens to you. I still get chills when I rember the first time I looked and found no hole. I never really carried that bag again except maybe one time years later. I could upgrade the diamond, but this one ring holds so many memories I don't want to change it. Now sometimes I dream that I'm looking for it and I found it under the couch or..... but this time when it wake up I feel so happy because it is true (;

Hey girl, love ur set! Couple questions, the band of your engagement ring, is it thinner than normal 4/6 prone solitaire setting? I love it! I have always thought my band is a little thicker than i would like. If it is, can i ask where you got it or how i should ask a jeweler to make it?

And where did you the dotted wedding band? Love love love!

The width of the band on the engagement ring is 1.6mm with four prongs. The setting is from Danhov, you can check out their site-so many pretty settings on there. :smile: I do like the thinner band, because I seriously love dainty, well except the diamond itself. ;) The band I had made by a jeweler. I know that VCA has the Perlee collection that has a beaded ring just like this, maybe a little thicker or it might come in different widths. :yes:

Thank you all! I do really love this ring, fell in love with the stone. But couldn't decide if I wanted a more "classic" european cut setting or a halo. I hope that after using the ring for a couple of months I will know what will look best with this stone
