    I like the diamonds on the shoulders (is that the right word? lol) but the main diamond for me is a bit too bulky looking but I do like small diamonds because I have small fingers.

    I haven't a clue about the clarity and things like that though.

  • It is a bit like mine, but I think there are too many diamonds on the shoulders. Mine is like a solitaire, but then has 3 diamonds on each side of the shoulder and they're more spaced out IFYWIM, I think they look a bit too 'blingy' when they are all together like that.

    Now I'm the opposite way sorry lol

    I love the stone, but not keen on all the stones that sit on the shoulders.

    Don't forget to think about how the wedding band would look next to it - a plain band might look a bit out of place next to it?

    Also - I'm not sure if it would apply to this style of ring but am I right in saying that rings with stones on the band are quite difficult to resize? Just a thought, but I could be wrong.
  • I like the Emerald cut stone, that particaular setting you have chosen is very popular in America at the moment. I personally would have it as a solitaire ring, the small diamonds detract from the main stone in my honest opinion. This would be a classic look as opposed to a current design. Good luck!!

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

  • We dont know your soon to be fiance likes or dislikes, so asking an open forum doesnt make much sense to me:confused:.....other than you wanting to show off:rolleyes:

    FYI, it's not my cup of tea either.

    Aww come on, that's not fair, he's only asking for views on the ring. I didn't think he was showing off at all.




    OP, nobody here would know if it is worth it or not as you haven't mentioned the cost.
