Introducing.... my new baby! And she sleeps through the night!
A little background... this summer I was interested in starting to save toward a “starter” superideal. The thought was that I would trade up toward a “forever stone” for our 20th anniversary in fall 2020. I had a little nest egg started and my husband said, “Why don’t I match your funds and pick one out for our anniversary as a surprise?Yeah! That sounds Iike a plan to me! I hadn’t thought he’d be interested in that until next anniversary. So far, he’s on board with this slow progression toward The 20th anniversary bling.
I gave him 5-6 ideas for settings. We agreed that this ring setting should be very inexpensive and would be used for a CS ring for our 10-year old for a birthday or Christmas. I wanted rose gold. And 10K gold in order to save a bit of money. Ultimately, I will want the diamond descendant to be set in platinum.Many of you helped me decide how to set this one—how to come up with a plan to avoid a wasted setting.
He picked out this Stuller rope setting from the group I emailed—he always likes curvy/twisted designs like this! I think it will look nice with a garnet or something next year—I may be asking the CS forum for help with that at some point!
On to pics!
I’m not too terribly hard on my rings, but I’ve worn this daily since October and I don’t see any wear and tear on it!
I’m used to platinum... this particular ring is very lightweight, which was the plan (inexpensive). I don’t see or feel any difference from the 14K yellow gold I own. I knew from the beginning that I would only have this setting for one year. I didn’t actually put too much thought into it, just a sort of “ring holder” for me and something my dd would like with a garnet afterward.
I still love it so much. It just looks “right” on my left hand.
