The solution for DSS

[redfaerythinker]

What''s the solution for Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome? More diamonds! The original ring, ajaffe ME1279, center stone .53 cts, VS2, G. The side stones are both .3 cts.

I loved the ring, but always thought that the center stone was just a bit too small for the width of the band. So we went back to the jewelers and traded up. WAY up. The new center stone is a 1.05, E, SI1. A photo on the hand, this thing is soooo much bigger, and SO white and sparkles like mad!

YAY! How beautiful! I didn''t know you were considering upgrading! (Then again, I''ve been kinda MIA for a while...)

 

[btrflygrl23]

Oh Gosh your upgrade is REALLY GORGEOUS! And MASSIVE! Congrats! I love your watch too! If you don''t mind my asking what brand is it?

 

[Jenn_Sima]

It''s very pretty!! The side stones are "hiding" behind it!

 

[Zappy]

Very beautiful, the proportions look perfect.

 

[beechezz]

Wowwee!!! That is a stunning upgrade! Your ring now has perfect proportions IMO! I love it....congratulations to you!

 

[wsblue430]

Nice, congrats! What an amazing upgrade!! Looks PERFECT!!

 

[jewelz617]

Love it! That should stave off DSS for quite a bit!

I wish I had smaller fingers, I have such an out of whack view of what a good sized diamond is on my hand.

 

[cmarie]

The new size looks great! Enjoy!

 

[luv2sparkle]

It looks great! That is an awesome upgrade! Congrats!

 

[Catmom]

Beautiful upgrade!!!

 

[PinkTower]

Your upgrade is beautiful!
I love the way the stone sort of overlaps the side stones. That changes the appearance of the shape of the sides. Now the look more half moon/pearlike. That just makes the whole ring look nicer, not just the center stone.

 

[Miss Sparkly]

I love it with the new stone! Beautiful upgrade

 

[Tuckins1]

Absolutely beautiful! Fantastic!

 

[marym]

Oh, wow that''s a beautiful ring! -And gorgeous photos too!

 

[Dreamer_D]

I love it. I agree with the others that the side stones look *perfect* with your center stone. Much greater finger presence with the new diamond!

How did they get the bigger diamond into your setting? Can I see a profile shot?

 

[Blackpaw]

love it

 

[tigian]

Wow! That''s what I call an upgrade. Looks gorgeous on you! The proportions really make your center stone pop.

 

[AprilBaby]

LOVE the icy whiteness! Congrats!!!!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Just beautiful - it looks spectacular!

 

[redfaerythinker]

Thanks so much guys! I''m in love!

btrflygrl23- the watch is a fossil, I got it for Christmas so it should still be available in stores.

Pink Tower- I said that exact thing when I got it back yesterday! I love the way it looks so much more now that the center stone overlaps.

Dreamer- The old center stone was a teeny bit too small for the original ring, and the new stone was a teeny bit too big, so they moved the prongs out a bit, and then cut the v''s where the diamonds sit a bit deeper into the prongs. I was shocked when they said that they could do it! And I took a profile shot for you... dunno how good it is. If you want a better one I can try again!
