Tell me more LYM! I want to hear candid opinions, what did you not love?

You know.....at first I was a bit like LYM......I thought this setting was a tad "over-the-top" & too busy.

But having seen the styles you've tried on, and seeing the Michael B Paris on your finger.....I must admit, it's GORGEOUS. I really love it.

The Michael B Paris reminds me a lot of my setting but w/o the pave. What's not to love??

LYM......curious as to your thoughts as well.

Gotcha. IRL, it's a lot less OTT looking too I think. It's so delicate looking IRL and not blown up so it's smaller too :D lol!

Honestly, it's PERFECT.

The more I think about it, IF I ever decide to change mine, I think rather than "halo" it, I will pave the band/shank, girdle, and prongs.....make it my own little "Paris" creation!! It's really stolen my heart.

Awwwww :love:
Now that I've thought about it, I really think us taking all these up close pics from every angle skews our perspective. When a ring that's under an inch in size in real life is blown up on our screens up to 10 times it DOES look OTT! :laugh:
Trying it on it's very pretty, but not super busy. You can't see the beautiful pave'd basket or prongs from the top, it just looks like a super thin pave band.

Very true.

One thing I've found is no matter how professional the photography is, it never captures the real-life beauty of the piece.

Swanky, what's the band width of that Paris ring?? 2 mm?? or 1.8?

W/O looking it up, if it's even published{?} I'd have to guess 1.8. I was surprised how thin it was IRL, pleasantly surprised as nothing makes me happier than an uber-teeny band. I love the contrast between a nice sized stone and a very thin, delicate band.
