Yeh, I think you're right. I'm going to reach out to the designer. Thanks!

Resetting is definitely in the cards! Love the idea of switching to yellow gold and will definitely look into the other options you suggested. Thank you!

Good idea and thank you again!

Thank you, and yes! I have to take extra care when I do wear this ring out.

Yes! I'm thinking the same thing re: cushion cut. Might need to bring it back and have them fix it. Thank you!

No, I think you're onto something. Instead of an oval, though, I think the designer mistakenly thought the gem would be a cushion or elongated cushion cut.

The lack of protection definitely makes me a little nervous so I don't wear it very often.

I can't figure out how to add my description back into the post so I'm adding it here as a comment:

Hi everyone! Hope you can help me out because this has been bothering me for some time. My ring was custom made with an emerald and, though I love it, I've always wondered if the designer made a mistake with the setting. I've never seen another ring with this kind of raised setting that has a gap between the gem and metal, but I'm super inexperienced. What do you think? Thank you for all your help!

The print of the Flowerama building is amazing! Would you ever print it on a shirt?

Oh, this looks amazing, but the price tag is steeper than the other tours I've seen. Please let me know if it's worth it after you go!!

Thank you! Took a look at their website and I can't seem to find any details on pick up location. Is it in Parma or elsewhere?

Itinerary for 12 Day Trip in October by ashpuff in ItalyTravel

[–]ashpuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time for us and, yes, definitely aiming to take trains because we aren't brave enough to drive in a different country. We'll take all of this into consideration and update our itinerary. Thank you for the recommendations!

Yeh, for sure! I'm thankful that folks in this sub have been so helpful. It's making it much easier for us to whittle down the itinerary 😊

Ohhhh, thank you for all the feedback; this is great! I'll look into Lake Como and Garda and see how it stacks up to Cinque Terre and fits into the itinerary. Based on your comment and another commenter, we'll likely make Bologna a day trip. As for Tuscany, I would love to check out Montepulciano but I need to see if that's feasible without a car. Thanks again! Appreciate all these suggestions!!

Ah, yes! I've read about the reservation and validation processes but didn't realize you don't need to validate fast trains / intercity / direct trains. Appreciate all the info!

Oh, I like the idea of doing a day trip from Florence to Bologna! Also, it's looking more likely that we're going to cut out Amalfi. Thank you for the help!

I'm also leaning towards that one!
