It's gorgeous, lisa!! I love that rose gold head and the euro shank. Perfect for your job, too! Can't wait to see what band you choose with it.

This might help...ring size is 6.5. She's a little loose but won't fly off. I am hoping that once we add the w band she'll snug up. I tried to explain to the Fiance about why it seems loose. He is concerned that it is too big. I showed him the set of stack rings I have that I wish were half a size bigger because when I wear them all together they are really snug and kind of uncomfortable but alone they are great. I can't remember what size they are, either 6.5 or 7...I think. I'll need to put them on one of those sizing bars to know for sure. He isn't convinced. Any ideas on how to snug her up without too much trouble?

I know! I wore it to work yesterday. One girl said it looks like vintage with an edge. And I had no issues with scratching any backs. When you zip and tuck the dresses sometimes their backs can get scratched with prongs. Not this one. Super comfy. I think I am doing a two tone channel set band with her using 1.5mm diamonds just like around the center stone. Will have to have it custom made but that is cool.

That is gorgeous! Looks perfect. I love the profile shot and especially the contrast between the palladium and rose gold! What is the center stone/size?
Congrats!

I noticed that it looked slightly big, but some like to wear their rings a little loose. Since you mention you are going to stack bands with it, going a little loose is a good idea. For now, you could go with a plain thin, 1.5-2mm, discreet spacer band in front of it for security and snugness. You could even do it in rose gold, which either will blend with your skin and be almost unnoticeable, or match with your ring, depending on your skin tone.

Kind of like this one on PS., although hers is .75mm

+1 I'd do a spacer for peace of mind.

And she is a LOOKER! Wow is that a lovely, and completely unique ring. I love the two tone action and all the little suprises. It seems like every which way you turn it there's something interesting to catch your eye. Wear it in good health!
