Hi everyone!
PS has provided me with so much helpful, valuable information that I wanted to contribute a helpful comparison thread of my own. I''m more of a lurker rather than a contributor, but hopefully, someone will find my thread helpful!
DH and I recently upgraded my beautiful .7 F VVS2 princess to a beautiful 1.25 G SI1 princess (they look the same color and clarity to my eye though!). Originally I wanted a 1ct but our jeweler told me that I really wouldn''t see that much of a difference going from a .7 to a 1.0. And boy and I glad he told me that because I don''t think a 1.0 would have been the size increase that I wanted. At first I thought my 1.25 looked huuuge. Now I''m comfortably happy with the size! Hopefully DSS stays away for a while because that 2.5 carat is a ways away!
Now, my question is this. I have been toying with the idea of changing my setting to a simple 2.5mm yellow gold cathedral setting. My current setting is almost 4mm at the top and sometimes I feel like when looking at it head on, it drowns the stone. What do you think? I''m also having trouble find a 14K cathedral setting online....everywhere is 18K but that wouldn''t match my 14K wedding band. Any ideas on where to find a good, solid, 14K 1.5mm cathedral setting? My jeweler can sell me one for $350 but I wanted to check around first.
What do you guys think about the maul store restyling events? Would their simple gold settings be of the same quality as my jeweler carries? Or would they be hollow or lighter?
Without further ado.... Mrs. Princess Upgrade!

And my jeweler is very competent and very trusted...so maybe it might be best to take that route if I decide to change the setting. It''s a hard decision! And I am in contact with LOGR about a rose gold RHR!
