Yay! I was dying to see pictures! Congrats, it looks perfect on you :) What is your ring size if you don't mind me asking?!

Thanks very much to you all for the nice complement! In terms of the ring sizes, Novo is size 6 and shared band ( full circle) is size 5.5. My fingure size is 5.5, so i've got the band in the exact size as they have difference sizes in stock. However, the e-ring only comes in standard size 6. I was thinking to get it resized down to 5.5. However, my hands flucturated quite a lot during the day and also summer is coming, normally hands are bigger in the summer due to the hot weather! So i decide to leave it as it is for now. In addition, I was told by my Tiffany SA that i can get resize for Free of Charge only once. So i may want to save this opportunity to later!!!

I love the set i've finally chosen, though maybe a little bit boring! haha!! But i'm definitely glad that i 've chosen the Novo over HW micro pave. Don't get me wrong, HW is beautiful. Just somehow, it doesn't look as comfortable as Novo on my hand. Having done the ring hunting, i realised that ring shopping is very similar to clothes shopping. You definitely need to try it on, like some clothes look perfect on model, but it doesn't mean it would look good on everyone.

Thanks again for all your notes!! Good luck with your ring shopping! :D:p

Oooo Faye, I'm drooling!!! :drool: Both of your rings are amazing. The novo is just spectacular - congrats again on your engagement!!! I love it paired with the shared setting band so it doesn't look too matchy matchy with the novo band.

The sola (now soleste) is just so extraordinary. . .even though I have one myself, I just love seeing pics of it! It's really interesting how much more finger coverage the soleste has over your novo, which is substantially beyond 1 carat!

You must be the envy of all your friends! You've got your rings all down!
 
Hi kohl! Thanks for the super speedy note!!!

Yes, i do get quite a lot of complements on my rings, especially i am in the UK. people normally wear something < 1ct, or probaby even smaller like 0.5ct...

i do love the sola, it also looks really nice with the shared- setting!

kohl, have you found your perfect wedding band? :)

Do you tend to wear both your rings together (one on each hand) or do you just wear your novo?

My perfect wedding band is still out there. . .I still haven't quite decided! :p I've tried the shared setting, the novo band, plain bands, and other designer's brands in the micropave settings and I still haven't made up my mind yet. . .
 
Let me give a try! There are my Tiffany Novo 1.35ct, G, VS1 and Tiffany Shared band, 2.2mm... i was told the shared band is G color as well!

Just caught up with this thread now - gorgeous Faye!! I love it - almost as much as your sola! ;) I'm a Tiffany's girl so I think you made a great choice! (mine's a G too!)
 
Hi Faye!
Gorgeous Novo! I'm in similar shoes are you were before but leaning 80% Novo and 20% HW Micropave. We are going to NY in a week to actually look at the HW but in the mean time I have to been trying on many Novos. I have really like the Novos in the 1.5-1.7 carat range but 1.35-1.4 carat ones are more affordable. Though I am unsure if I will not like them as much, my SA tells me that I will probably not like the smaller size. My finger size is 5.25, very similar to yours and the 1.36 looks great on you! I have noticed that the face up size can be different even with in same carats and smaller carats can face up bitters sometimes than a larger carat. Could I bother you for the face up measurements of your 1.36?

Thank you!
