Here are a couple of pictures of my new rings. The center stone is 1/2 RB, H VS1. It belonged to my grandmother who originally had it set in a herringbone necklace. When my husband and I got married (at 20 and 23 - we were babies!), we didn't have any money to buy a diamond, so we used this one and set it into a yellow gold e-ring with four little diamonds on each side. It had a matching w-ring, with 9 small diamonds.

Seven years later I wanted to do an upgrade, but we're not ready to purchase a large stone yet. We're doing a lot of research here on Pricescope and we will buy a 1-1.25 H&A next year and set into the new bands. Anyway, I love the Endless Love Collection, but not the price. We eventually found a very similar e-ring with matching band. The e-ring has 32 pave set stones and the w-ring has 34 pave set stones for a total of 85 points. They go all the way around except for a small portion of gold left for resizing. The bands are each 2mm wide and have a milgrain edge.

The pictures don't the rings justice. I will take more pictures with my dad's digital camera later today.
 
Beautiful rings!!! The setting really makes your lovely diamond pop.
 
It looks lovely! Bet you're enjoying all the added sparkle now!

Do you have plans for the current diamond when you replace it with the larger H&A next year?
 
I love your setting- it really complements your diamond. Very sparkly.

I love your entire set. So nice to have your grandmother''s diamond....

Tell us more about the setting too...they look so nice together.
 
That''s a very pretty stone with a neat history that goes with it.
 
What a pretty set! Gorgeous!
 
So, so sweet & lovely--great choice of setting!
 
I absolutely love that and think it''s wonderful that you are able to use your grandmother''s diamond. I also love the 2mm width of the bands. Very delicate and elegant.
