Hi everyone, this is my first post. My boyfriend and I have been looking at rings, and ever since I saw the Soleste I can't stop thinking about it. I've looked at everyones photos, and it really is so beautiful.
My price range is around $4000-$5000, and I'm not sure what to do. I've been in contact with a SA, and that budget gets me anywhere between .3 carats to .42. For that money I could get a larger stone, but I would always think about the dazzling features of the Soleste. I am only 5' tall, and my hands are petite and my fingers are very short if this helps. If you have any input I would appreciate it, thanks.

This ring is sooo beautiful. The workmanship is amazing and all Tiffany diamonds are fiery and gorgeous. If you have tiny fingers then a .30-.42 would be an okay size but if you want bigger, then you might have to go the custom route. I know dreamie's DF custom made one for her here: http://forum.purseblog.com/the-jewelry-box/my-new-engagement-ring-from-valentines-day-2011-a-663993.html
Her ring is equally gorgeous and she was able to make some changes to the ring which fit her taste. If you are bent on having an e-ring from Tiffany like I was, there is no shame in getting a smaller diamond! If you only like the style and don't particularly care about the name/brand, I would go to a jeweler and see if he can custom make one for you. I hope this helps!
Essie_girl, I think you should go to Tiffany's and try on a soleste that is in your price range and make your decision from there. The finger coverage from this ring is substantial. If you try one on in your price range and you love it, I would say go for it! Don't let the specs/carat size get to you too much...if it's what you love, who cares about the details? To me, you can't go wrong with a ring from Tiffany's no matter what the size!
If you do go try it on, take pics and share them with us!!
side note: still no soleste for me! BF says he will propose "sometime in 2011." haha hopefully sooner than later!!!

My thoughts will be with you! I'll be chanting "sooner than later, sooner than later"! 
BTW, I read that there is some talk that Tiffany will be making matching wedding bands for the soleste! I am so excited!!

When u say sooner than later, the song started playing in my head... Haha
I hope they make a band before your wedding! I've definitely seen a lot of double halos growing in popularity. And the white soleste is definitely showing up on wedding boards now.... Personally I'm all about the yellow! My friend is trying to convince her husband to get the yellow soleste as a RHR for their 5 yr anni.
Haha, yes! But I think in the end we probably will go the custom route to save money. I am just curious what this band will look like!
I haven't seen a band ive loved that didn't appear to take away from the actual ring so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
Custom is definitely going to be cheaper than Tiff, but I have a feeling you will end up with a t&co band in the end.... Hehe just my guess! But then again I was set on the matching for my ring but didn't like the look together as much so you never know!
I noticed that too. I did a search for "Tiffany soleste ring" on google just for fun and I saw a few ladies with the soleste that aren't on tpf! In fact, that's how I found out that Tiffany is making a matching w-band!
You and me both! It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
I still like the Novo band & I feel it compliments your ring beautifully.
Kohl, your ring, regardless of whether it's Tiffany or not, is stunning. Remember, "fancy" diamonds have now become rare and highly sought-after. Your fancy yellow will ALWAYS be in style due to it's rarity. It's an outstanding ring and one to wear in pride.
I'm still searching for my rare pale blue diamond. No rush

You are amazing!!
You also always give the best advice as well! I think the novo is beautiful, but I know I can get a novo-esque band (one I hope will be as beautiful as yours), for less the Tiffany price! You've definitely inspired me to go beyond the brand name to the custom route. I can only imagine your blue diamond. . .
the rarest of the fancy colored diamonds . . .You are amazing!!
Aww I hope you didnt take my comment as custom is bad. Afterall it's what I'm going for!
Can't wait to see what you decide!
Oh no, of course I know you didn't!
Thank you! I'm curious as to what I pick as well. . .haha. I always surprise myself!
I went to Tiffany's a couple of weeks ago with the intention to check out the beautiful yellow diamonds and absolutely fell in love with the white soleste. I am very petite myself and my ring size is 3.75! The soleste in 0.4 carat centre had more than adequate finger coverage. I never thought I would get anything less than a 1.0 carat centre, but after seeing this beauty, I really couldn't go much bigger. I don't want the ring to overtake my hand so I am opting for a smaller diamond. I even shocked myself with this thought sometimes! Ultimately it will be my bf who will decide on the ring and specs but I have to say, you won't be disappointed with the soleste regardless of carat size. I hope this helps!!
