Its beautiful!!!!!!! Will the diamonds rub against the metal on your engagement ring?

specs:

1.56ctw platinum Memoire petite prong setting, "M" quality, G-SI, 22 stones, size 6 (i normally wear a 5.5).

this ring sparkles like crazy, even indoors in a north-facing room. how much do i love the diamonds going all the way around?

it is very weighty and substantial but when i wear it, it''s so comfortable and seemingly weightless. the shared prongs are so small and close together that you really see the round shape of the stones only.

the size 6 is a wee bit loose, but nothing to worry about. i actually prefer the look to a tighter fitting band.

i probably won''t wear this with my e-rings because they''re white gold, but i was surprised by how nicely it matched with my original e-ring.

i am beyond thrilled with my ring!! huge thanks to Joseph at Pearlman''s for being so helpful!

maisie--

i don''t know if it''ll rub since i won''t be wearing them together, but i definitely see how it could happen. i will worry about it when i upgrade my e-ring in 8 years

whoops! double post

 

[Maisie]

So where will you wear it?

 

[erica k]

i''m one of those who changes their rings almost daily. i feel a bit like goldilocks with all these rings!

i rarely wear my JFA wedding set because the stone is set too-high. it usually comes out on special occasions (i.e. dinner at a nice restaurant).

i wear my wb and original e-ring to school, but lately my fingers have been swollen. my doctor can''t figure out what''s wrong with me, but my parents think it''s because i spend too much time typing (8-10 hrs/day) and sitting (i''m a grad student attempting to write a dissertation...).

so lately, i''ve been wearing a cheap, knife-edge plain yg band because it''s the only thing that fits comfortably.

i ordered the memoire half a size too big because of this issue, and also, one never knows! i don''t have children yet, but i wouldn''t be surprised if my ring size changed. if my fingers ever stop swelling, i can always wear the eternity as a RHR, or i can secure it in place with a slightly smaller size e-ring.

too many options, too many rings! i used to have 3 pairs of shoes and now i have 20. i guess the same thing happened with my ring collection

Wow - I really like them all. You can really mix and match those - they all work together.

thanks harleigh, lady and maisie!


try telling my husband that, i think he would have a fit! he jokingly asked me to sign a contract agreeing to not buy another piece of diamond jewelry until my next upgrade. i jokingly nearly agreed to do so, but decided to keep my options open

 

[mrssalvo]

it''s just beautiful Erica....

 

[erica k]

thanks mrs salvo! i am loving it more and more with each passing minute. i''m completely content wearing it by itself.

more importantly, i''m impatiently waiting for nancy''s new memoire ring to be posted!

Your rings are amazing, I love all the combinations you can make.
