Requesting pictures of cushion cut with tapered baguettes

[dreaming of the day]

Hi,

So I thought it was time I reevaluate my dream ring for now. After reading the responses to my previous post I realized the expectations I had in regards to my situation were way out of whack. So, I have been pricing out some rings and to my surprise I have been able to find some I really love for about half of the cost. I am looking at about 1.05-1.13 carat H colour SI1 very good cut cushion with a white gold or palladium tapered baguette setting. I love it - classic and elegant not over the top and timeless. This estimate I have come up with is about $5,000 (compared to previous one of $10,000-$12,000) I think putting more money into a down payment for a house and moving out that much sooner is really something that is important to me.

I would also like to thank everyone who posted on my previous thread - it was a real wake up call and I needed to hear the things people said. I think some of the things really made me realize important life lessons.

Some things may have been harsh and I couldn''t use all of the advise, but the underlying point of all the posts made me put my expectations and priorities back in place.

I would love it if anyone who was a ring similar to this would post hand shots so I can see what it looks like on, and not just in a drawing. Also comments on the new idea are appreciated, maybe its your style maybe its not, but I would love to know what you all think.
