new ring!!
my previous ring...
i find it hilarious that in this photo below the ring is paired with ring bands because the ring was NOT made to have bands with it. there are no bands that match with the ring exactly because the diamond is set so low. sure the way it is pictured it looks like bands could match up with it nicely.
too bad that wasn't true.
the place we purchased my ring allowed us to trade my ring back in for the full value billy originally got it at. they told us if we wanted to take the ring elsewhere to get custom bands soldered onto my ring we could but then we could never bring the ring back to them to trade up. which really didn't matter anyway, my ring was custom made to fit the emerald cut diamond in it and it could never have a bigger diamond.
i didn't like the look of having a loose band so far away from my engagement ring, when on my fingers the rings laid a few cm's apart and it looked funny to me.
please don't get me wrong either, i LOVED that ring!
billy picked it out himself and i had an emotional attachment to it. the issue was, he was completely mislead about the ring. there are no matching bands and the center stone could never be replaced with a bigger stone.
also...since my previous ring was a "designer" ring, i was able to get a diamond that is almost 20% bigger than my previous one.
not a clear picture but i'm over the moon about this ring...
billy and i picked it together, after 2 trips to the store and 4 hours it was final...
again, previous ring....
new ring...
picture is not great :(
i will not be getting a band on our wedding day, instead i will be holding off until our first anniversary.
maybe band two on our second anniversary ;)
happy tuesday friends!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Oooh, it's gorgeous!!
Its beautiful!! and it will be so fun to add to it at your anniversary :)
It's beautiful!We did something similar with my ring since I didn't like the it looked with bands on it. I'm glad you're happy and that you love it!
I just accepted your FB friend request and I saw the new ring and wondered what was up with that. Glad you told the story!
My ring is similar to your first ring, we couldn't afford to get a custom band but found one that was similar. When we started shopping I told Kristian to make sure he bought a ring that was set up a bit so a band could slide underneath it to avoid the problem you had. If I hadn't told him that he probably would have gotten something like what you got and we would have had the same issue.
I love your new ring!!!!
absolutely love them both! The new ring is gorgeous, and at least now you have this story hehe
Gorgeous!!
Beautiful!! Loooove the new ring (as well as the first!) I'm glad you guys were able to make a good decision about trading it in-- weird about the first ring and being mislead about the wedding band! :-( Thanks for sharing, soo gorgeous!
Wow, it's absolutely beautiful!! Very similar to what I have saved on my computer ;)
Your new ring is gorgeous!! i'm glad that you were able to trade the original in, I've never heard of that, pretty cool!
It's stunning!
oh I LOOOOOOVED the old one... I'm a sucker for emerald cut. But you're right - that new one is much bigger and sparkly-er than the old one! Glad you love it!!!
I love it! It's beautiful :)
Both rings are gorgeous! Mine is a very similar square version, so of course I love this style :)
WOW... both are beautiful, but the new one is huge! Congrats :)
Oh my word! Stunning!!!!!!! :)
Jaw dropping...It is gorgeous!
ITS perfect! It fits you perfectly! Meaning... I can SEE YOU WITH THIS RING! :)
LOVE IT!
WOW! How stunning!!! I think you made a great choice!
SO PRETTY!!! I love both, but I think you made a great choice for a ring that you can wear a fabulous band (or two) with! :)
it's perfect!! love it!
Both rings are beautiful!!! LOVE your new one though :)
Love these rings! I just love the antique look!
You have fabulous taste!

love it! My girlfriend has a set that wasn't made for bands and I always stare at it because it looks so strange that they don't touch. Low and behold she said it was suppose to be that way but that would drive me NUTS!
LOVE the new ring!
So beautiful. You guys did a wonderful job picking out this new ring. It will be perfect with getting a band for your fist and then your second anniversary. Who doesn't love sparkly diamonds?!?!

Very Beautiful! Glad y'all were able to get it all taken care of without any problems!
It's gorgeous! :-)
Annie, it is beautiful! I LOVE it!
gorgeous girl!!!
I don't normally like round stones but yours is gorgeous!!! Maybe my mind's been changed :)
I love it! It actually looks a lot like mine :) I had to get a custom band made though to wrap around the center stone. I'm so glad you found another ring that you are happy with!
I've always been a huge fan of round stones! I love the new ring girl! I am afraid I am going to be having the same issues with finding bands to go with my engagement ring but I think what I am going to do is just get a diamond band and wear it to work (in surgery so my e ring sticks up making it difficult when wearing gloves) and then when I am away from work just wear my e ring...but who knows what I'll end up doing!
Wow! The new ring is amazing and it looks gorgeous on your hand! Beautiful!
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS! LOVE IT!
What a rock!
I absolutely love it!!
I love it. It is totally beautiful!
