A crazy decision about my Ering, but at least it's made and over with. Time to move forward!
Original post by NYCGirl2008
I have been so lucky to have a wonderful FH who gave me the engagement ring of my dreams. I picked it out in three sizes and he gave me the most sizeable one and I know his intentions 100% were to make me happy. It was a beautiful round brilliant with eight round brilliant channel set sidestones. Gorgeous.
However, for some reason I just never loved it, and that definitely was the case once they sized it. Something was not the same afterwards.
So today I think I sort of did what no one does. I had it reset as a solitaire. I deblinged it! It now will just have the same setting as the center stone but instead no side bling. It seems classier to me and also simpler as I have small hands and tiny bones. The thick setting just seemed too much.
To keep the spirit of the initial setting we bought our wedding bands today, mine is a half circle round brilliant channel set. Gorgeousness.
I hope you all approve of my crazy decision. But if not that's ok, I am just relieved to have made the decision so I can move forward and stop obsessing.
New ring (I will post more pics when it comes back from being reset):

It's gorgeous either way!! If I had discussed rings with DH I would have said I wanted a round solitaire. I love my ring regardless!!!

Thanks for the support everyone, it really means a lot to me. I told my Mom today and she said 'Oh no'. Oh well, I think she will agree with me once she sees the new band. She just couldn't believe anyone would ever downsize a ring!!
