I really love the setting, it wouldn't be the same if I changed it. If you have anymore photos ( with or without a band!) I'd love to see! Angles too! :) what carat size is your ring? Sooooo pretty!

I really love the setting too even though there are many rings out there that look similar to it. The quality and craftsmanship is beyond words. DF does not regret paying one single penny for it. You really need to see in person in order to appreciate it. :love:

Here are a few more pics. It's 2.5 ct. and my ring size is 4.25.

Absolutely stunning!! We don't have a Harry Winston anywhere near us in Toronto so we'll have to get it made for us. But that's ok. Your ring is so pretty!

Maria, ur ring took my breath away again everytime u posted a new picture of it! It got me thinking whether i should buy the RB or emerald. Haha..
That day i saw a women tried on an emerald cut in debeers... It is so eye catching and look so elegant. And funny is, when she took off and tried the RB...the RB suddenly looks so simple and normal and not nice if compared to the EMERALD! Do u still like ur emerald? Hehe.

Thanks honeybeez, you are such a sweetheart. :hugs:

I love my EC and never doubted my choice in choosing it but then I always knew that I wanted an EC. I tried on some RB's in the beginning because DF's image of an e-ring should have a RB. I convinced him to have me try on the EC's as well and then he agreed that it looked better on me. The best thing to do is to try them both and go with the cut that really speaks to you. Good luck!

It would vary most likely based on shape AND size. The larger the stone, the larger donuts do tend to be for strength, esp on a tiny thin band.

I personally don't think HW is worth it unless you yourself knowing that its the HW brings you comfort or pleasure.

I agree, but the same goes for Tiffany too. $25000 for a 1 carat? Too much...a little bit of a premium is ok, but some of this inflation is just extreme IMO

I honestly think I prefer it being made for me. Agreed, paying a premium is normal. But I can't justify the price knowing how much more I can get somewhere else, and it's just as beautiful. I normally RUN right back to Tiffany's. But now I have no urge to run! I'd rather have a 2-2.4 carat center stone with a beautiful setting that has another half carat in diamonds that's made JUST for me from my amazing boyfriend :)

Ame and the others are giving you great advice. But I want to add that there are a lot of us who like a gap -- want it, actually. I think it lets both rings shine. You might want to go to a store (any store) and try rings on both ways and make sure you know that you "need" a flush set.

Do you know of any photos I could take a look at? I'm thinking I might like it if it's small, so that it's obvious there is a wedding band as well.

MARIA! *I faint* BEAUTIFUL!!!

Rogersa: I agree that if the name is important to you, then stick with a branded ring but since you're considering non-branded options the brand might not be that important to you. I say go for the bigger carat size and have it custom made. Sometimes I wonder if we (DF and I) should have gone for the non branded route as well, but as mentioned by some of the others, it makes me happy knowing I have a Tiffany's ring even if others don't know. Also, I tried the novo band with the soleste and it was a very small gap and I actually quite liked it. :) Some of the tiffany's ads have women wearing ER and WB with spaces between and I think it looks really feminine and lovely. Always go with what makes your heart sing though!

I agree with knowing about having a tiffanys ring, even when no one else knows. it just feels special :smile1:

A 1 carat tiffany starts from 14k onwards and depending on the 4c as well. Not 25k.
With 25k at tiffany, u can At least get 1.3 carats considering f color and vs2. For the same spec f color n vs2 in hw u need pay 25k for 1 carat.

Seriously. I don't get it at all. But everyone here knows how I feel about all that. You're buying a name and convenience and marketing, not necessarily always perfect quality, they sell some duds too. Some people like the name, convenience and marketing, others prefer to do the "legwork" and get more for the same price.

And no amount of someone else's photos is really going to make your mind up til you see it on your own hand. Before you pick a setting be sure it will fit flush or provide that amount of gap you prefer ON YOUR HAND.

You got it at one time Ame, since you bought your original ering from Tiffany. :smile1:

I did, though it was more that HE liked it. But then they damaged and lost it twice. That gave me the option to learn more, find other options to spend my refund on, and get educated! So I can thank them for that!
