I need ideas! 
I've been married 12 years with the same set. DH picked it out himself, and I have always loved it. But the prongs have had to be tightened twice this year (never before), and the local jeweler is recommending a new head with six prongs. I really don't want to do that with this setting. I'd rather get a CZ oval to set in it, and get a new wedding set for an upcoming anniversary (lucky number 13? Hah!). I want to keep the anniversary band with the reset... And will be keeping the oval. I 
it. All three rings (along with plenty of other sparkly pieces!) are from M. Martin on Wabash in Chicago. I will go back there for the new set. But I would love design ideas, websites, etc. I love the solitaire look, would love half moons or thin baguettes along the shoulders... Not sure about a halo for me, even though they're beautiful... I work with toddlers for my job, so I don't want a setting that's too high. I wear my rings day and night and for everything except working with chemicals.
Specs: 1.006 oval, F color, SI1. I'm a ring size 7.5. The rings pictured are all 2mm or 2.5 mm each--I like the look of 6-8mm total. The anniversary band is very low profile and has bead set diamonds (3 or 4 pts each). All rings are platinum.

I also love pears as side stones. I think I need to go try some on. 
imo he does the best claw prongs!
