Hello folks! My rings aren't as big as y'alls are but, the set is more than 100 years old according to my jeweler and I am in love with them. I searched far and wide, high and low and at all price points before settling on the one that is (to me) the perfect wedding set. It has undergone an antique restoration by my jeweler and I recently decided to have them soldered together. I used to weigh 247 lbs but now at 156lbs and losing, I find that my rings now spin around my fingers so it will be better if I have them permanently attached. Here's a picture:

Upgraded my diamond from a .60 G, SI to a 1.10 D, VS in the original setting. I am not a bling person when it comes to jewelry, but I gotta say I love it! I wanted a 3/4- 1 ct originally but let my husband choose. Never told him I was a little disappointed because it is a pretty ring and he was so proud to have picked it out himself. This new stone is as big as I could ever want for the size of my hands, so no more upgrades for me.

Did I read correctly- 4.2 cts?!

Yes, you read correctly! It is 4.2 carats! And thank you!

We custom cut it with Whiteflash because they didn’t have anything in inventory in the size we were looking for. We agreed on rough that was predicted to yield 4 carats, I, VS1. And we ended up with an insanely lucky result. The stone is heavier at 4.2 and a clearer at VVS2. It was a great experience.
