This is a disaster!! A couple of month's ago, my boyfriend proposed and we decided to design a ring. I designed a rectangular 1.23 carat radiant cut I color ring with diamonds surrounding it. It did not come out how I wanted it to and we ending up returning it. First, the design was not exactly how I wanted it and second, radiant cuts show more color and he put G colored rounds to surround it, making my center stone look yellow and cheap. This is that ring below...
So, because I was frustrated being engaged without a ring, I quickly chose a classic 1.51 carat RB solitaire which I was very happy about when I first got it. Now, the more I look at it, the smaller it gets. I really want a 3 carat, but can settle with 2 if it is a square cut diamond (princess or radiant) with at least a 72% table. I know this seems very particular but I don't know what to do. I want to buy myself an eternity band to jazz things up. I don't want to change the ring again so soon and before marriage because his mom and sisters will think I am spoiled brat. What should I do??? HELP!! This is my E-ring below...
It doesn't look very small here but in person it just seems so pedestrian to me. I also live in L.A. and work on the weekends at a gym in the kids klub. I see moms coming in all the time with the most gorgeous rings. Maybe that contributes to my mania.
