@mrs-b I looked on mochiko's and DS's and Missy's and did not see your name so if you search I start with KTBlook on DS as she doesn't have as many to go thru..
Sorry @Tekate - I really don't know how to find any of those people. I dont know DS's Insta name (I looked up diamondseeker2006, and it isnt that) and am following almost nobody. I *did*, however, just look through all 1200 of Missy's followers and followees and am not sure what I'm looking for. I searched for KTB in the general search box, and found dozens of things.
Could you pls just post a photo here or on a new thread? That would be awesome!
ETA - Skip ALL of this - I just found your PS thread on it!

Here's my old 3 stone, which is now gone. I actually loved this ring - it just wasn't quite large enough for my finger and I felt the proportion of the side stones was too small. I like sides which are each .4 the ctw od the center stone - so - .4ct / 1ct / .4ct. The ones in the photo are .33. (.72ct / 2.05ct / .72ct) But I LOVE the profile and always have.

Here is mine-the center is maybe a shade over 8mm at 2.13ct and the sides are about .70 each.

Yes, well, that's the thing....
Sadly, I vary between a 7 and an 8. I have Crohn's, so my fingers go up and down a lot. Either way, there's a lot of real estate there!
I'm sure yours will look AMAZING on your finger! Is it MissGotRocks with the ACA center and small sides? That's a fantastic looking ring, and I'm assuming yours will look something like that. Gorgeous!
@cflutist i took this test with a privacy protector on and my screen down to 25% brightness, with my glasses off...and still scored a 2
(apparently 0 is a perfect score?) I am a wee bit scared to see what this means for my future diamond expenses 
ETA: the first colored diamond I looked at and fell in love with was a 4K .1ct fancy purplish pink

This means that you have very color sensitive eyes. Hopefully you like near colorless or warmer diamonds, otherwise you will need to spend big bucks to buy F and above.@cflutist i took this test with a privacy protector on and my screen down to 25% brightness, with my glasses off...and still scored a 2

I had a 2.05 D-VS2 and could definitely see the difference between a D and a F.
CBI D-colored diamonds are really expensive which is why I balanced color with cost and bought 4 F-colored ones.

@rockysalamander
Thank you for posting the links.
I like the first one a lot (without the melee on the basket) and saved a screenshot of it on my tablet. The only issue I have is the 4 prongs on the center stone. Years ago my 2.05 D-VS2 fell out of a 4-prong mounting (when a person slammed a door on my hand) and I had to sit through a 3-hr orchestra rehearsal with that diamond in my pants pocket. I promised myself that any diamond over 2 ct would be set with 6 prongs. But you can sure see the pavilion with just 4 prongs ... tough decision. Wink told me years ago that 80% of losses were from 4-prong mountings. I also will not do 3 prongs on the side stones for the same reason.

I scored a 0... which explains a lot
I scored a 4... which I think is pretty good for the male of the species, who seem more prone to colour-blindness! lol
Not good news for future diamond purchases, though...

Oh wow. @cflutist you have my favorite collection on this board. I will be eagerly awaiting more photos.
I really enjoy taking the color tests and always score 0. And I do gravitate toward colorless stones, but I still like warm old cuts too, probably because I'm an antique lover.

The HP Lux melee on the band are 1.8mm. I plan to wear the band with Symphonie that has 1.6mm melee on its shank. Trilogie will be a RHR.I can't to see more pics!!! The proportions are just PERFECT!What size stones did you use for the band? Are you planning on wearing them as a set?
