Congratulations on your upgrade and all of those wonderful years together! Your new ring is incredible and the old stone looks fantastic as a pendant!

I LOVE your ring....I have a three stone round too and am so in love with that look! Yours looks amazing and the pendant is just beautiful too. Congrats and enjoy!

 

[MissGotRocks]

The ring is gorgeous - course I''m a bit biased regarding three stone rings! The proportions are great and I''m so glad that you were able to use your original diamond as a pendant.

Heartwarming story and beautiful jewelry - doesn''t get any better than that! Enjoy!

 

[TriciaKirk]

I am so overwhelmed with your responses - thank you so much for your support and wonderful comments. I forgot to add one thing - I am so lucky to have had the family stone and don''t want to sound ungrateful - it just didn''t feel like it was our stone - but I am so lucky to have it! Thanks so much to eveyone.

I''m going to be 100% honest. I rarely see 3 stone rings with RB as side stones that I like (unless the center stone is 3+) it always looks tacky IMHO. but yours is SPECTACULAR! The proportions are dead on and everything works! Love your upgrade, it''s very beautiful. Congrats!

 

[beechezz]

I absolutely LOVE your new ring! It''s just phenomenal! Well worth the wait I''m sure!
The "family" stone looks really nice as a pendant too! Now you have 2 diamonds to wear----NICE!

 

[threepwood]

Very beautiful set.. I love it!

 

[laurel25]

I love your ring! That setting is so understated, classic, and elegant! I just adore it paired with the plain band too - nothing to take away from the beauty of your e-ring!

 

[Gayletmom]

It''s just beautiful! Enjoy your gorgeous ring!

 

[krockie]

Both are just beautiful!

 

[Tuckins1]

[MMT]

[chiquitapet]

[that_someone_special]

[CdnBlingGal]

It''s stunning! Love your setting. You pendant is purdy too. Great option for the family stone.

 

[kittybean]

Congrats on the upgrade and new pendant! They are both beautiful and so classic-looking. I love the way your e-ring looks with your plain band. Very elegant.

ckrickett,
As an owner of a 3 stone round ring (which I happen to think is beautiful), I found that comment about 3 stone round rings being tacky to be really rude. There are lots of us on this board with that style ring, so you have probably offended others as well. There are certain style rings that I don't always love either, but I'm not going to call them tacky, it's just not the nice thing to do and hopefully next time you can compliment people without putting others down.

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful comments - your support is amazing. A few friends in my everyday life don''t really understand my upgrade and have made me feel kinda weird about it so I haven''t told that many people and people haven''t noticed the difference on my hand so - you guys - and my husband are the only ones sharing this with me now - so thanks so much for the support. Also, thanks for not judging me!!!

I also really only like my ring with a plain band. I looked at several diamond bands and it just didn''t look right to me - took away from the diamond and over all look. I also looked at several plain bands and it was hard to find one that did not have too much of a rounded dome. I was so happy to find this one on ebay - yes, ebay- for a fine price and wasn''t too rounded. It is not a very substantal band (heavy or thick) but I think goes well with my e-ring and comfortable to wear.

Thanks again!

 

[joyfulbarry]

Beautiful ring!!!!!! I think your upgrade makes perfect sense and you seem like a very appreciative and humble person. Wear your new ring with delight!

Also, I don''t think your hands are ugly at all.

Best wishes!

Wonderful upgrade!!! Well deserved I`m sure.

I also love how you set your original stone. Perfect choice.
