I’m getting another upgrade and I’m trying to decide between a 2 ct round and a 2 ct princess cut.

There is a lot of fire in the round which I love. I’m am not usually a fan of princess cut diamonds, but the brilliant cut in this princess cut really makes it sparkle very close to some rounds I’ve seen. The princess cut has some amazing lighting in the picture which draws me into it. If you really like the princess, I would agree with the other ladies and go for that one.

As far as lowering the carat weight to get both, I personally wouldn’t do that. Only because they wouldn’t have that amazing impact you want to see in an upgrade. You sound like you have quite a few E-ring sets like it do and I’m still looking for the one that makes me want to wear it over the others.

My favorite ring of all of my rings in general is a rose cut halo diamond ring. Not too big or fancy but the sparkle and fire can’t be beat by any of my other diamonds. My husband surprised me with that for my 23 anniversary and if I could find a large oval rose cut with a halo, I’d be a very happy lady [emoji4]

Back in the day, princess cuts were flat so they never appealed to me, but the modified brilliant princess (like this one) takes my breath away.

I think you’re right about not stepping down, my DH advises against that too. But honestly when you wear between a 4 1/4 and a 4 1/2 even a 1.2 stone looks large!

Your ring sounds beautiful! Got a pic? I too have a love for halos! I thought about getting a fat pear or oval with a delicate halo.

Dynasty you are so kind, thank you so much. I’m going to stop by the vintage shop and take pictures of the two rings I’m deciding on, if I don’t change my current ring. The sapphires have really nice color to me, which is why I haven’t changed them out yet. I’ll post them after my visit to the store.
you are welcome.
Would love to see the picture of the rings :smile:
If you decide to change with asscher maybe you can reset your sapphires to be an earring? I think will look gorgeous!
Something like this above?!

That’s a great idea for a reset on the sapphires! I forgot school gets out early today, so I may not get to the shop. Today I started wearing this one again as a wedding ring. The diamonds all have six sides and the band has more finger coverage. It’s actually yellow gold, but you can see the center diamonds cut better in this picture [emoji5] IMG_3898.jpg
