Weddingbee boards

Okay, so I haven't been on these boards much but I'm definitely a lurker!

Before we got engaged I had given my fiance a few styles I loved as rings: halo, black diamond accents, square-ish stones preferred, and I loved intricate bands.

I forgot to tell him I was NOT a fan of 3 stone rings.

That's what he had gotten me. 3 stone emerald with baguettes.

Which is now a 3 stone round center stone with 2 emerald sidestones and baguettes. (My mom forgot we had my grandma's stone.. which is .3 cts smaller) I broke my original stone. =[ So sad. But I've been if'y about the ring ever since. The looks changed because the center stone is almost the same size as the side stonse.. I almost feel as if it's jinxed, but I'm afraid to bring it up to FI and I don't want to break his heart. But I'm truly not in LOVE with my ring anymore?? =[

What would you do??

Thank you! See, the issue is we originally bought the wedding bands before the gold prices went up. And they're custom to my band. BUT, now that I have the round stone I probably could get the micro pave ones that I had origianlly wanted and it'd look super cool and I'd be able to get diamond and then black diamond ones as well (I originally wanted them in my ring but the Dave said hte jeweler was unable to get them). BUT he doesn't want to sell back the rings because he says I need to deal with what I have.

Here's the set..

Do you think micro pave black diamond bands would work with what I have now?

And my diamond cracked... I was getting dressed and while I was reaching up my finger tapped the fan-blade as it was on (FI has a low ceiling in his room) and when I brought my hand down the emerald cut had cracked in 2 different places. Right where the prongs were. I honestly think it had something to do with the jeweler setting it too tightly in the setting or something with the diamond. FI never got any paper work to go with it. And 2 months after wearing the ring they did nothing for us. But swap the stone out with my grandmother's for no charge..

I'm honestly thinking of buying a Moissanite diamond for now.. until we can afford a real one. I was thinking of perhaps getting a 1ct.

I think the reason why I liked the original stone so much is due to the fact that it was a larger carat size. Right now I feel like my main stone blends too much with the side stones because they're closer in ct size... Crazy I know. I feel like such a snot. But it's something that I will wear forever.

@abirdword I was actually thinking of possibly doing the thin black diamond rings in addition to the bands that I have??

Something like that just to add some more pizazz and unique-ness to it so it fits my personality more??

Radiants are gorgeous and so are cushions. I'm debating on getting a moissanite stone until we can afford to replace it with a real diamond. Then turn my grandma's stone into a simple solitaire for my right hand.

I'm just afraid people will be able to tell the difference in the stone??

@lilsweetie:  Yeah?? I think it's defintely something we're looking into. We're going to Helzburg this weekend I think to look at one in person which will help us in the decision. I just want my ring to be perfect for the day of the wedding. After the wedding I can always get my real diamond once we can afford it.
Why would I replace with a real one eventually?? My birthstone is a diamond and I can never have a birthstone ring because of that. So as David had said it's only appropriate that I have a real one on my fingerr.

@MissTX:  its so so so hard. I'm trying to find a way to keep my existing and make it work!

@starla:  I can't sell my round stone. It's from my grandmother's e-ring and I can never get rid of it. heh. It's my only sentimental thing left from her.. So I plan on keeping her. That's why I was thinking of getting the Moissanite for now and using that as a center stone?? What do you think of that idea?? I've never seen a Moissanite in person so I don't know what to do..

I'm definitely thinking about doing the 'mega' set as you said.. hehe. Perhaps after the wedding I'll look into getting the thin thin ones made for our dating anniversary. ;D It's 6 months after the wedding so it's like our half year anniversary of our wedding! hehe.

@blingbling:  Thanks! I have to talk with my jeweler and see what he has to say. It may work. I originally had a .75 diamond in the center stone area. So a 1-1.3 stone wouldn't be that much bigger than the original?
The question is.. do I do the Moissanite route for now until we can afford a real one? 

@Future Mrs K:  =] The thing that I think would make me the happiest is just changing out my stone. We used my grandmother's stone becaused I was unemployed at the time and I couldn't afford to buy a whole new stone myself. But after talking with David he said he wouldn't mind upgrading to the stone AFTER the wedding, BUT I want it to be the way it's going to be for the rest of ourlives in wedding pictures. That's why I was thinking of the Moissanite route.

I just want the main stone to stand out a biiit more. I was thinking of keeping the round or going cushioN??
