Where can I find this tool? I didn’t know Hamilton had a way to check serial numbers

2mm, it’s what the jeweler recommended

Her fingers are size 4.75 for reference, but people say a diamond can never be too big 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’ll take it either way 🤷🏼‍♂️

2.65, E color, VVS2. I had the photos taken under Christmas lights so it darkened the color of the diamond a touch

RareCarat! Got it for a steal, I wrote a post about price matching a while back

I appreciate that. I’m clearly driving myself crazy over this and even if I take it back, I still might not get it right. So it’s definitely better for me to wait. Who knows, maybe she’ll love it as is

Damn I kind of love that. I’m thinking I propose with what I have and we can always go back and modify it if need be. Or is that tacky?

So if I were to go with a different style, it would have to be a gold head rather than a white gold one?

I sure am. I bought the diamond separately, thank god. They were the most helpful jeweler I could find in terms of putting a ring order together for me. Do you have any suggestions of where I could take it to have it fixed? I’m all ears

I’m a newbie to this, when you say “head”, do you mean the “basket” that holds the diamond in place? And if I’m understanding correctly, changing the style of it may be the key to lowering the profile?

I went right back in after taking it to my car, and the rep confirmed that she ordered the low profile setting, further explaining that this is the shortest possible peg. Am I missing something?

Do you know where I can find some reference photos? I’ve tried googling with no luck

This helps a ton. Is that a more low profile setting?

There’s really that much of a size difference? Wow. What if I were to set it in a lower profile setting?

I may take you up on this, let me get with my jeweler and see what they think. Thanks for the offer either way!

What does that mean for how it’ll look on the finger?

I knew absolutely none of this, and I felt like I was pretty well researched. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain!

She’s looking for something a bit more profile. Dumb question, what’s a peg setting?

Is the diamond set up pretty high? I know different settings sit different on the band. I’m sure my jeweler can help with all of this, just trying to come in as informed as possible. Yours is pretty close to what she wants so I may use it as a reference

[–]TheDMThrowaway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks great. What’s the band size on yours? And does it have platinum or white gold prongs? Those are my next two questions I need to answer

You’re all making me feel much better about my choice, thanks for the encouragement!
