I'm getting ready to upgrade my current bridal set which consists of a platinum e-ring (Micheal M. Design), 1.025 center stone with pavé prongs, a Vera Wang 3-row pavé diamonds in white gold, and "old faithful" my very plain, yet perfect white gold Lee Michaels 3mm band.
For the past 4 years I've enjoyed alternating wearing my diamond set and plain band (for everyday washing dishes and kids). I love the "classic solitaire paired with a diamond band" look as well as the simplistic, minimalist feel of the plain band. What I haven't loved, is that the pave stones on my e-ring have fallen out several times. I've replaced one stone twice already and have had an empty space for about a year where the a stone has fallen for the 3rd time. I love abroad and it's hard to get back to my jeweler. There's also a crevice at the bottom where I'm not sure is getting cleaned thoroughly since the brush bristles don't reach it. For this reason, I know I want a very minimalist design that is "transparent" so I can see nearly every millimeter of it during cleanings.
I have been eyeing the classic Tiffany solitaire setting for a few years now and am sure it's what I want as my "forever" ring. To go with it, I want a yellow gold plain band and an eternity shared-setting diamond band. I have a Rolex that is both yellow gold and steel with diamonds in the numbers. It is my daily watch and I feel like it would match a yellow gold bridal set. The only thing is, aside from the website, I haven't really seen them in action as yellow gold doesn't seem to be to common these days. I love yellow gold, but want to make sure before I make the official switch.
