Well, it''s settled. DH and I put half down on my dreamring, Li-Ana, last night. I''m so exctied!The designer is Liz C, in Singapore. She makes 18K gold settings for cz''s, but of course, some people, like me, use them for diamonds. It''s basically an 18K YG swoopy cathedral. Similar to D.Vatche''s Royal Crown. I''ve tried the Royal Crown on before, but the shank, being 4mm, was two big to me, for a 3/4ct or even full ct. My eyes want to see a band that''s half the width of a diamond. The Li-Ana has a 2.5mm band, though Liz offers a 4mm one too. It''s exquisite.
It''ll take 4-8 weeks to complete the YG ring. I want to wear the diamond while I wait, but yesterday I noticed that it''s tapping in the WG setting! I''ve only worn it a few days, and I was very careful. I might take it in to be snugged up. At least I can wear the modern ring for the summer. I know it would mean a lot to DH. He''s already asking me what color stone I want in the WG ring so that he can give it to me for Christmas. Let me just tell you ladies, men CAN change. This is not the same man I knew five years ago. He''s turned into a romantic.
