Picked up my oval yesterday!

[Dandi]

Just beautiful, Lottie!! And your wedding band is to DIE for!!

 

[krisvrn]

I love your set! I really like the wedding band! Classy!

 

[geckodani]

I missed this thread somehow - I love your rings! That oval is so elegant!

 

[kimikocat]

That''s just beautiful! Love it!

 

[woobug02]

Yeah for the OVAL!!! It is sooo pretty. It looks perfect with you band. CONGRATS

 

[Lottie]

Hi thanks very much for all your replies, now that I have had it for a couple of weeks I keep wondering if I did the right thing with the setting. Do you think that having a setting made to match my wedding band would have been overkill, or should I have had the setting made slightly chunkier? I don''t plan on doing anything for a few weeks because I really want to be sure that its not just the novelty of having a new ring wearing off, and to be honest I feel a little greedy changing my mind. In your opinion what setting would you have chosen?

Maybe I just need a new project lol!

Lottie - I think the setting is perfect. It fits well with the band and compliments it nicely.

In my opinion, having a matching setting would be overkill. You would lose the unique look of the band by having too much of it. The smooth band of your e-ring sets off the band.

Just to make myself even clearer: Don''t change it!

I love your ering, and I think it looks nice with your band. What about getting a matching plain band or shared prong so you have another option to mix it up a bit?

i think both rings together look wonderful on your hand!!

i''m very into modern rings so unless it''s a tension, bezel or semi bezel, i would have done exactly what you did. Don''t change a thing.

Your band is fantastic, delicate but strong. Your oval is delicate and classic; nice contrast and melding. Sort of like you and your SO perhaps?

 

[Lottie]

Thank you for your kind comments I was obviously just having a greedy moment

. I shouldn''t even be on here - we move house in two days and I need to pack!

 

[vespergirl]

Beautiful set - looks great with the band!

 

[AdiS]

I love your set! That oval is so delicate and elegant and it looks great with the band

 

[MyGirlPoppy]

Hi Lottie

I just love love love your ring. Can I ask where in Hatton Garden you bought it - I''d love to have your recommendation!

Thanks

 

[vespergirl]

Beautiful - it looks so much bigger than .5 ct too! I love it with the band!

 

[kcoursolle]

Gorgeous set!!! Beautiful and classic, I just love the tapered design on your setting!

 

[MrsG]

Beautiful set!! Love your band

So pretty!!

 

[Lottie]

Thanks very much! I got it from Bergstones and dealt with Ron - really nice guy, very down to earth and very happy to let you play with the loupe, the daylight lamp and take as long as you like doing it. The shop is not as glamorous as the others but he knows his stuff.

I will definately go back when I am ready for my gigantic upgrade (I wish!)

The oval looks lovely with your wedding band!
