Thanks MayK! You're too kind I did things backwards-knew I wanted an ec or asscher upgrade ering. Saw this at the jeweler, bought it first while still looking for my ering stone. Honestly for what i spent total between the two rings I could have bought a higher color or larger ec. But at the end of the day I'm sooooo glad I went down this road. I love my set. Wouldn't change a thing about it. The band was just as important to me as the solitaire. I really love bands, almost all my RHR's are band style.
