Poor lighting and mani but here’s another picture so you get an idea of the GIA Triple X with my ACA’s. Maybe a 3 stone will cure my DSS for some time...

I think it’s a big difference! I have a 1.02 ct on ring size 6.25 (top in pic) and tried on a 1.33 to see if it would be worth exchanging, as I just got the 1 ct a week ago. I tried the larger one at Costco, although I’ll be getting my diamond exchanged with James Allen.
Exciting! Be sure to posts pics.
Lol I’m not a halo person but I have thought of two options by keeping current ER:
1) a tiny delicate halo like picture below
2) 3 stone. I have beautiful ACA’s that I wear everyday that I can turn into a 3 stone for more finger coverage.
Another vote for a 3 stone here! I had the same dilemma a few years back, @diamondsR4eVR.
DSS set in for me after a couple of years (I think) and my partner was resolute in not wanting to change my center stone. So the solution was to change setting and make it into a proper 3 stone ring. I’m pleased to say I‘m very happy with my ring. It gives me the finger coverage I crave and got to keep a center stone that holds special meaning to both of us. So I say go for the 3 stone and who knows, maybe your husband will be open to a bigger stone (or a different ring altogether) for a milestone anniversary or birthday
Good luck with your exciting new project! And please keep us posted with any update.
I love those two options!! If you like 1.5 and he doesn’t maybe you could finagle a 1.45? Or 1.4?
I really wanted a 1.5 min 2 ct max and the 1.4 always felt like it could be bigger. He could have gone bigger, he just went with better color and clarity bc he didn’t think size mattered that much... to some it really doesn’t but to some - that little bit of size makes all the difference lol. I’d say compromise on 1.4 with that sweet halo or side stones and you will feel really satiated in your choice vs. feeling like you conceded to what he wanted for you/just to go against your huge last e-ring. My husband was a little salty when I upgraded but I’m the one who has to wear it! Trust your gut!
. Sorry, now I’m just rambling...
I love these proportions. I’m a huge wall of bling fan. I would do both consecutively. Go bigger in center. Then add these sides. Go for it!!Poor lighting and mani but here’s another picture so you get an idea of the GIA Triple X with my ACA’s. Maybe a 3 stone will cure my DSS for some time...
Sure thing, @diamondsR4eVR! Here‘s a before and after:
And here’s my former 3 stone OECs along side my EC ring.
As you can see, I’m extremely biased when it comes to 3 stone ring setting. I used to own solitaire rings and went so far as sporting a 4.2 ct antique cushion cut. Sadly, even that couldn‘t cure my DSS. So I switched gears and eventually ended up with a 3 stone ring. I found the 3 stone setting the most practical solution to cure DSS, and extremely versatile as it can be done with any shape stone, diamond or colored. I still hope to own another solitaire though. However, unless it’s 5 ct +, I’m afraid it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon, if not never ever. Edit to add: I just realized my last statement may sound a tad “whiny” or “bratty”...trying to find the right word here- “capricious” even..but what I’m trying to say is- I don’t own many pieces so I tend to go for size. I suppose like Missy, I’m a “size whore”
ETA: pls forgive the pic size..can’t seem to minimize them. Ok, trying again to adjust pic size but to no avail. Sorry ladies!!

Haha a girl after my own heart. The issue is I would have to save for awhile to upgrade. I don’t want to go thru the same jeweler and will need to start from scratch. Especially since I would like ideal or as close to ideal as possible this time around. Trust me 1.30 to 1.40 sounds amazing to me.
However, if I decide to do a 3 stone ring there’s light at the end of the tunnel and can see myself taking on this fun project probably in the summer. I have the 3 stones already which is wear the bulk of the cost lies. I just need to pay for setting and find someone to do it for me. I guess that could be expensive too tho...
