DH and I are approaching our 5th anniversary and thinking it is time to upgrade from my original e-ring. I'm loving Montana Sapphires - it feels like the perfect fit for me. I love the icy-blue-grey-teal colors, and I even have relatives from that part of the country so I think we're set on that, but I'm still a little lost! Budget is a (flexible) $1500 for the whole thing.
1. The stones I am seeing at Mountain Momma Gems on Etsy seem perfect and there is a nice selection that interests me - but I can't find much feedback beyond the etsy site. Is anyone familiar with the site? Any reason to avoid it? http://www.etsy.com/shop/MountainMommaGems?section_id=10330795
Also we are in NYC - is there anyone local who might have a nice selection of Montana Sapphires?
2. Size / shape - I don't want anything too huge, so thinking not much bigger than around 6mm. My ring size is 6 and I have fairly small hands. I *think* I want a radiant or cushion that are close to but not quite square - but some of the round Montana Sapphires I have seen are beautiful too so I'm open to input on that. I think something like this would be a good fit as far as size & cut, though I would prefer something a little more blue than green I think: http://www.etsy.com/listing/82480464/teal-fancy-montana-sapphire-radiant-cut
3. Setting - We would probably use Greenwich Jewelers to set it since we are in NYC. Looking for a simple prong setting but nothing too high maintenance. No side stones, no halo, no bezel setting. I'm loving this one: http://www.greenwichjewelers.com/store/category/rings/engagement/products/artcarved-twisted-shank-solitaire-engagement-ring#
For reference my wedding band is like this one: http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-wedding-ring-white-gold_6709
Would this be a good fit - radiant or cushion around 6mm, with the twisted shank, with my current wedding band?
Would love some advice! Thanks in advance!
