That time I sent a stranger a bunch of money, and she sent me: HAZEL

Hazel is gorgeous! I'd enjoy her just the way she is and decide later if you want to reset her. Congratulations.
 
I do think the current baguettes would work but once you start the CADs it could be fun to see if another pair would work for you. Yes! The ring is so easy to clean because he added two holes instead of the one to the cup so I haven’t had any issues. @Niel was such a huge help in guiding me on the construction of my ring, can’t wait to see how the new spin on it turns out!
 
@pearaffair I am sooo happy that you purchased this ring!! It looks amazing on you! :love: My advice would be to enjoy this beauty in its current setting for a while before changing it up and understand the things that you like or would like to change before diving into a new pricey setting. It is gorg!
 
Oh this is so great, I am so happy for you! :appl: It's absolutely gorgeous, I think marquise stones are so beautiful and flattering and this looks so, so pretty on your hand! :love::love::love:
 
We can’t see enough pictures of this beauty. Your ring is gorgeous!

You better be careful @pearaffair . That tiny hand may decide to run away with that beautiful ring. My 4 year old grandniece told me she was going to put on one of my rings and just wear it for a little while, then she was going to put it in her purse. LOL.
 
I love Hazel’s proportions:love:
I would leave the setting as it is. That stone doesn’t need a halo.

Haha well I’m safe! The tiny hand belongs to Niel’s little one. Bwahaha so it’s safe in my clutches now!

Oh I looooove your rings so that means a lot coming from you!
 
So.

I want to do the following: get the head dipped in yellow gold, get the ring appraised, get the ring insured. In which order should I do these things?
 
Appraisal > Insurance > re-dipping

Thank you! That’s kind of what I suspected. Do you figure I’d need a new appraisal and new insurance after getting it dipped?
 
I LOVE hazel!!!!
 
06ADDA54-453C-4278-A768-772909F3B574.jpeg I’m 90% sure I’m going to get the head dipped in yellow gold. My husband says don’t. But I mean, cmon, this before/after by KKJohnson shows that changing a ring’s setting can dramatically change the way the stone looks! I want to see what a yellow gold head can do.
 
I think it is so perfect as it is! But fairly easy to switch it back to white if you don’t like the yellow.

Oh really? Thanks for the info!! Would they just rhodium plate over the yellow golden plating... ?

Any insight into the process would be much appreciated as I sometimes get nervous talking to people in jewellery stores. The less I have to ask about, the better, haha!
 
OMG! Hazel is so beautiful! I love a big, fat marquis. The current setting is such a beautiful classic, but I do think she'd look gorgeous with a yellow head.

Congratulations!
 
That is a beautiful ring. It reminds me of one that Amethyst owned. I think she called it Lemony, but I could be wrong about that. What a gorgeous stone. I would be thrilled to own it just exactly as it is.
 
Just GORGEOUS!
 
Very cool the stone is perfect for your hand!!!!
 
So pretty! Congratulations. Love the new pics too!
 
What a gorgeous rock! And congrats on the baby!
