Kanga I think you should give the new bella roo a chance and wear her for a day or so. See if she grows on you.

I don't think it is bad, but you have to love it.

IF you don't think you can live with it.... this might be a totally crazy suggestion given what you have already been through, so don't hurt me.....but maybe the 7.5 would have been a better fit??? Would someone want to trade with you for your 8? *runs and hides*


Ya,.I dont like the exposed girdle.

And dont think I have not thought about the 7.5 and if it would have fit better!!!
Off to poke myself in my eyeball with a fork..

The exposed girdle does make the stone easier to chip though, but esthectically, I think in a halo, it looks better not exposed. But yes, a none halo'd ring has a lot of girdle exposed. wink We are looking at it in macro mode though.

Kanga, how much does it bug you in real life??

I feel an insatiable need to rub a kangaroo's neck right now.

I think it looks beautiful, but I feel really bad for you after being so excited to get her back. What a letdown frown

Ok Kanga, put the fork down. It will still look the same with one eye anyway so don't go to the trouble of punishing yourself. You could go get yourself a blinged out eye patch but still.....put the fork down girlfriend. grin

Jcent,..it bugs me alot that the girdle shows and sits up higher,.and that also seems to take over the halo.

I have been talking to DK via e-mail,..and he says that he will open the ring up a tad,..and lower it as much as he can.
As I do like the stone..
here is what he said..


I am going to take the stone down as I can do that by opening the setting slightly . Do you like the stone itself if we do set it lower? It does have a much higher crown than the Asha sort of a bubble like top so it will sit up a bit.



I am bummed that the moissy has a higher crown than the OEC Asha though.

But if he can lower it,..maybe that wont be as noticeable to me?
What ya think Jcent?

I think DK's dedication to making people happy is a 10 smile

I don't think the "bubbly" top will bug you as much as the girdle being above the halo. smile

That's good news I thought DK could fix it. I love the higher crown of the moissy. I think the large bubbly crown is so pretty in an OEC and halo.
