I think this has been said, but be true to yourself and your style. When I was getting engaged in 2000, NOBODY was buying YG. But I had always dreamed of having a 6mm YG wedding band, and diamond wise, I didn't really care about the setting, I just wanted a great diamond.
There were times I felt like people thought I didn't have good taste going with something that was "out", but every time I look at my ring, I know it's perfect for me.
My other thought is don't be afraid to think big. I had been wanting a gold bracelet for several years. My worry was losing it though, I have a tendency to take of bracelets without realizing it. I thought the Cartier Love bracelet was a perfect solution, but way too much $. I came close to getting an Ippolita last year, but it was really more delicate than I was looking for, so I waited. Long story short, I have my Cartier Love now, it's wonderful, and I'm so glad I waited.
