Gorgeous! I hope you keep it set as a three-stone because it''s really perfect.

You think so? I am getting used to it, but feel the side diamonds take away from the main stone... I spent $700ish getting the setting fixed and I''m still not 100% on the prongs. I think when/ if they wear down again, I''ll change the setting.. just not sure... I have always LOVED the original Tiffany setting

Darn it! I put the "." next to some of the pictures so I could go back and edit the descriptions! Ahhh!

I was going to say that when I first got the ring, it was razor thin on one side and not safe!!

A solitaire would be stunning (and those side stones would make knock-out studs), but I really think the side stones are in perfect proportion with the center. And at 3+ ct., I don''t think you should worry about anything detracting from that amazing stone.

WOW-WEE, that is one beautiful ring! Grandma (or was it Grandpa) had great taste! I like it as a 3 stone also but
a solitare on a band with pave diamonds would also be beautiful (as well as the earrings you could get out of it)!

Oh I was going to say that I DID look at changing the setting before deciding to repair it. I looked locally at Knox jewelers who wouldn''t even give me a ballpark estimate on the cost of one of their settings (ah, I will not get a ring made so you can tell me the price later!) and Also looked at BGD but due to my immense fear of shipping it to someone opted not to go with them (yet). Their customer service was super and if and when I switch settings, I will more than likely go through them. They were professional, gave me a price, and any information I was wondering about. I actually felt really guilty not going through them, but the worry of mailing my ring right now just was too great! (I even thought about me, myself driving to them, or flying out there to personally hand it to them , I''m a freak!)

I believe grandpa picked it out, because he gave it to her on xmas in 00 or 01... she lost her original e-ring many years ago gardening!

Swedish - we have the same cat & the same chair. . .now only if I had a ring like yours! WOW! Huge and gorgeous!

 

[Burberrygirl]

I love the new pics! Once again that ring is beyond fabulous, your e-ring is beautiful too. The picture of your cat is absolutely adorable!

 

[ckrickett]

everything about that ring is so lovely!

 

[MissGotRocks]

I wouldn''t change a thing about that ring - it is just superb!

 

[tigian]

I would keep the ring as is. It looks perfect to me. Absolutely gorgeous!

 

[stepcutnut]

Lovely rings!!!

 

[chiapet]

Wow! That 3-stone ring is gorgeous!

 

[that_someone_special]

Thank you everyone!

As I said before, the comments I got from my friends were, "Oh... this is your new ring.... yeah... I don''t really like gaudy jewelry" and "Oh, it''s kind of costumey.. it looks like costume jewelry!" to some people actually saying nice comments. I''ve been a little sensitive to comments about it (hey opinions are fine..) but I found those particular friend comments beyond rude. Funny, they are going to be my MOH and bridesmaid too.

DSS had already set in and I''m like... "Hmmm this looks more like 2 carats... doesnt it?"

 

[Luckyeshe]

Those who make comments about it being "gaudy or costumey" are just jealous! You have a beautiful heirloom!!! Lucky you!!

HI:

Yum!

cheers--Sharon

 

[MishB]

Holy god it''s incredible!

I would keep it the way it is, not a huge fan of solitaires and I love 3 stones, but the idea of making lovely studs from the sidestones is a good one.

I''m not a fan of ''gaudy jewelry'' or whatever your friends said either, and I couldn''t wear a ring that big every day, but anyone who says anything other than ''what a huge, gorgeous, amazing diamond ring'' is simply jealous.

 

[roppongi]

Swedish Bean....your ring is absolutely stunning. I have a certain fondness for 3 stones and would keep it just the way it is. It definitely does not look like costume jewelry and anyone who is shallow enough to say so is simply jealous. Perfection.

 

[princessplease]

WOW!

That is all.

 

[cozzagirl]

WHOOOOOOOOA!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[04diamond<3]

It''s STUNNING!!!!!

 

[chiquitapet]

WOW!!! JUST FABULOUS!!!

 

[Amethyste]

This is one stunning ring - I came back often to look at it... Gorgeous!

 

[atroop711]

oh what a GORGEOUS RING...what a special ring. I would keep it as is..it''s just perfect!

 

[loveloveloveit]

this is a beautiful ring and I think sentimental value alone (if you liked your g''ma of course) should help you wear it proudly forever. personally I don''t think it ever needs upgrading or remaking. please enjoy it

 

[oddoneout]

Gorgeous ring and what a nice reminder of your grandma.

 

[Dannielle]

Oh my goodness, that is breathtaking!

I wish my nan had a big diamond like that!

 

[TBjumper]

It''s perfect just the way it is! What a special gift. I would love to own something like that someday...

 

[Skippy123]

wowzers, what a BEAUTY!!!!!

don''t listen to those people. Huge hugs; we are so happy for you

 

[CdnBlingGal]

It''s spectacular! Love the new pics.
