What do you think of this diamond/setting?

[antonino]

I think im for sure set on this diamond

i was originally going for a princess cut but the look of a hearts & arrows is too awesome to pass up.

And im setting it on a Legato Sleek line Pave

Looks good to me.

I assume this is for an engagemet ring, if so, which shape does your g/f prefers? i ask because usully those that like princess do not like round so if her stated preference is princess stick with that.

 

[antonino]

she didnt really state, and she didnt have a preference on the diamond but she did tell me that all she wanted was a setting that wasnt plain. Ill ask her when she wakes up, although i dont want to ruin the surprise...

 

[slg47]

maybe ask her friends or take her window shopping?

 

[antonino]

i would but im in afghanistan, proposing when i get home.

Good Luck!

 

[stone-cold11]

Good luck then.

Worst case, WF has a trade up policy that you can use if your gf prefers a princess.

Stay safe.

Diamond looks good.

If she didn't state a preference for shape but made some ring suggestion, a round will probably do. Girls who definitely don't want a round brilliant are usually quite vocal about that.

My only concern would be whether the setting is "not plain" enough for her. Personally, I like the sleek line pave and many PS'ers have it. When she says, "not plain", does she mean "not a solitaire"? Or I want a halo, with miligrain and an art deco, wire underbasket? hehe.

 

[antonino]

ok, true, im going to ask her what she means by not plain. i know her sister's ring is a solitaire and she doesnt like it. im going to ask her if she wants more of an antique look, or if she wants a halo around the rock.

Oh man! Can you ask her sister or one of her friends so that the surprise is not ruined?!?!

 

[iota15]

Consider asking her friend or family member.

If you ask her now, she might expect a proposal when you return from Afghanistan. (Stay safe over there, eh?)

 

[antonino]

im pretty sure she knows im going to propose, she already wants our wedding date to be 11/11/11. haha

 

[stone-cold11]

That makes it much easier to get what she likes.
