Awe! I am glad I can help lolThanks, @SimoneDi! I got a lot of encouragement from your upgrade journey and gorgeous stones. It also help to show my DH that this is totally a normal thing to do.
yeah, totally normal! I will be holding off on future upgrades for now, but I do think that they are worth it at the right time! I think you did great with your upgrade, the diamond is really pretty and very white! Wear it in good health!

Today was the weekly spa day for my rings... and of course, I had to do a mini photo shoot afterwards.
Gorgeous! Every ring!
Congrats!

Congrats it is gorgeous
Gorgeous! Every ring!
Congrats!
Thank you both! It's amazing when I look back and see how my collection has changed (for the better!) since I been following PS.
I really appreciate the compliment, @yennyfire! You should know that my stone aspires to be just like Bertie one day when she grows up.
Thanks, @GearGirly... I loved the solitaire setting the first time, however, I think it looks even better this time with the new stone. I also have a real soft spot for the halo ring - that is from my "third time is the charm" cushion project.
Stonewell, so sorry I'm late to your thread here.....your ring and stone are SWOON worthy!!!
I adore the rose gold and it just brings out the yumminess of your gorgeous stone. And thank you for the family picture, more sparklies to brighten my day, lol! Enjoy!
Don't be sorry @JDDN!! You've been such a constant source of encouragement through all my project adventures; I am grateful for the advice and feedback.
Hopefully, I'll have an expanded family photo once the other two pieces come in... looks like it'll be closer to mid/late September though. Fingers crossed!

Awww... thanks so much, @ccuheartnurse and @lalala. I am fortunate to have a few ER choices in my jewelry box, and this ring has become my go-to since I got it; I love it so much!
I’m still amazed at how it can show a lot of personality, color wise, for a K - even bright white. Shameless photos to illustrate:

lol... if my DSS isn’t cured, I’ll let you know when I trade it for an upgrade.
The setting is from JA - It’s the modern tulip:https://www.jamesallen.com/engageme...dern-tulip-diamond-engagement-ring-item-50763
However, the wedding band I have paired with it most of the time is from Tiffany:

I'm in process of upgrading my current diamond from JA too. Although, much smaller than yours. I have a G currently and was looking at J's, after seeing your beautiful K, I'm tempted to look at them! My setting is white gold though, unfortunately. Maybe I could change that too..
Were you able to see the K first before you sent in your ring for the upgrade through JA? How does that process work?

Oh yay, I love upgrades! lol Yes, I actually had the K sent to me before deciding and sending my ring in. According to JA, it isn’t the normal path upgrades take, but my DH insisted I made sure it was what I wanted. I’m glad I did. My worry was even though I could’ve returned the new ring, my original stone would’ve likely been long gone.
Some things to consider if you have the stone sent to evaluate it:
- You have to prepay for the stone. I know this isn’t necessarily possible for everyone, but I floated the charge on a credit card (thank you, Amex!) since I would’ve decided well before the bill was due. Make sure they apply the advantage pricing at this time.
- Before it’s sent, also make sure they provide you an ASET image and have the prosumers here confirm it’s worth viewing in-person. If the stone is local, that can be easily done. However, if it’s overseas, prepaying for the stone was the only way to obtain one.
- This path does end up reducing your return period for the finished ring. Sending the stone back and forth, and adding in the setting modifications for the new stone meant I had about 4 days left after I received the final ring.
- It makes for a complicated order since there will be one for the stone and then another one for the upgrade/new setting or modification. I recommend asking to work with Josh. He’s the CS manager and can properly process the refund when your upgrade is approved.

Beautiful, K looks great with rose gold. Love the head on your ring too
Congrats and wear it in good health.
Thanks so much, @cflutist! I’m grateful the rose gold gives me a lot of latitude with the color range.
