So, I have my heart set on a cushion. I had considered going with something else to help with the budget but I would most likely always wonder about a cushion.
On to the setting...here''s where I have a decision to make. I have pretty much decided on the shared prong round setting from Signed Pieces (matching ering and band). But in looking for a way to shave a little off the cost, I''ve thought about going with just one shared prong setting and using plain platinum for the other. I just don''t know which one should be which.
Most pictures I''ve seen are the plain solitaire setting with the eternity band. Unfortunately while I like this look, I''m not too crazy about the plain solitaire. On a side note, my second choice ering setting is cushion center with pear sidestones. I''d like to maximize the size of my *future* stone. Would being in a solitaire type setting make the stone look more substantial or would a setting with sidestones?
Anyway....so my choices are:
1) shared prong round ering setting, plain platinum band (which would be upgraded in the future to a matching band). However, I haven''t seen any pictures of this combination so I''m not sure I''d like it.
2) plain solitare ering setting with eternity band (ering setting would be updated in the future). My thinking on this is that I''ll only wear the ering alone for less than a year before we''re married so I should like the "look" more than just the 2 rings separately.
Am I making any sense??? I waiver back and forth on this every day. I hope to try on these combinations soon so I can just decide. So what would YOU choose if you were me???
