Yes, you are both right, the small diamonds do have lots of life and sparkle and scintillation. But the dominant color is white light return. Here is a photo that I think helps to illustrate the point I am making, at its most extreme. Both diamonds looks beautiful in thise photo -- in fact my J looks like it was painted or something

And look, I am not complaining here, just getting used to something new I guess
I also like the propotions of my wb with the diamond. I bought it knowing I would get a larger diamond one day
Does your I not have a sililar personality? I would have thought it would be so close! You have never posted pictures of your I, naughty lady.
Yes, this is the problem. The profile is like a pipe cut but the edges are softened. I don''t see anything stock like that unfortunately, but maybe they can customize it for me at eweddingbands.com? I don''t want to spend a whole lot to have a CAD done or anything...Date: 5/19/2010 12:56:13 AM

I''ll be honest, I prefer the 3mm, but I''m not really loving either. Your ering band is flatter, like it has a lower dome, I think a 3mm with the same curvature would be perfect
Could you have stock pipe cut filed, perhaps?
Definitely won't hurt to askDate: 5/19/2010 1:00:59 AM

I love that setting and I can''t wait to see handshots! My FF and I are looking at a J diamond as well and I''m curious to see what you think about the color compared to your G. I had always thought that I wouldn''t go lower than a G because I do love icy white diamonds. But looking at Jill_S''s ring and the many other beautiful J''s on here, I''m beginning to think I just might have to get one for myself. Plus, the extra 20-25 points it can get me for our budget helps push me towards a J too!
Well May, after seeing this diamond I would tell you to give it a try if size is somthing that is important to you. But I would only buy a J from BGD or another company that is similarly selective in their diamond purchases, like WF or GOG. I can tell you in complete and total honesty, after having this diamond for three days and looking at it in all types of lighting, I love the color -- or lack thereof -- and would never buy anything else at this point! And seeing loose stones is just not the same thing as wearing the diamond around. So if you really want to give it a try, then I would suggest taking the leap of faith, knowing you ca nreturn the diamond if it does not float your boat! But I bet you won''t look back if you try it
Aww, you are welcome, I love to help! And I also really love this setting. The only minor challenge is finding a plain wedding band that *perfectly* matches, but that is a small thing for an economical and attractive setting, in my opinion.Date: 5/19/2010 7:58:08 AM

Sorry I didn''t reply yesterday, I couldn''t get any of the pages to load with all the updates going on. Anyways, I will be getting a diamond around 1 carat, depending on how much diamond prices rise. I would definitely only buy a J from one of the vendors you mentioned. Size is somewhat important to me, but budget is as well. I feel like a J diamond will really meet both those requirements well. I really love your setting as well. I like more substantial settings, that''s why I asked about the price. We will most likely be getting a temp setting and then maybe upgrading the setting. But, I could really see myself with your setting as my forever setting! It''s beautiful! I have always been attracted to cathedral settings that aren''t too thin or too thick. Your setting is simply perfect!Thanks for all your help, not only with this thread, but on the other forums as well!
