My jewelry called today and told me my ring arrived early so being super excited, I ditched work for 2 hours, drove 45 mins each way to pick up my ring. When I saw it for the first time, my reaction was, o oh, I think this looks bigger than I had imagined and I didn't love it. My DH thinks it's too gaudy. He had wanted me to go with the plain Solitaire look but I went with this pave flora design because I have never seen a setting with diamonds on the prongs and I thought that looked very delicate and unique.
I didn't want to be difficult but I feel the major problem is that the shank is too thick. I feel like Varna didn't follow my specs as I had specifically told them that I wanted the shank to be thin like the sample they showed me on the 1 carat. My jeweler told me that they have to follow certain proportions and since they are dealing with a bigger stone, they have to adjust the shank as well. He said if the shank was any thinner, it would not look like a "lotus" which is the concept of the ring. Should I just accept the ring or demand them to make changes!?
