Yup, the radiants all work together best, no question. It's personal preference, but I'm not so crazy about radiants with step cut sides. (The exception that proves the rule for me is OMC's wife's engagement ring, which is beautiful and I'd love to see more pictures...).

Having said that, I really do like what the ECs are doing to the colour of Li'l Blooo. I would check with David that the radiants aren't draining any colour in real life, because she looks marginally more blue next to the ECs on my monitor. Could be a trick of the light, could be my imagination.

Those are really pretty little ECs, btw.

I love the ECs and the radiants.  Not crazy about the asscher or the traps.  Will the yellow gold in your MILs band take away from lil bloo's color?  That would be my only concern. 

That would certainly extend the real estate in a lovely way.    I'm imagination challenged with visuals, and it could be just the ticket, Sanchica; or the number of different cuts might distract from BLOOO.   

Right now, mum's ring is with the designer.  I hope to see some initial thought from the design team maybe within a week or so.  We've rather revamped the initial specs from replacing the 3 stones on the band to creating a 2 ring wedding set.      So a 5 stone ring might not be out of the picture.

    Pick a pave - flavor of the month club!

Thanks for:  , Rumple.  Haven't seen you in a while, and glad to have you join back in.  The original setting was a three stone, so we were shooting for that at first; but now - it's free range, baby!  I just have to watch the overall cost, although, I'm hoping  DH and David spoke about ceilings with that regard!

ROFL!!!

OK- I sat with our designer a little while ago- I'll post the sketch in a little while.....

Interesting!

one minute- I promise!

I had a technical glitch, just at the wrong time!
ARGHH

Anyway, finally got the sketch uploaded- as you can see above.
The idea is similar to one that our would be feline already suggested.
A triple micro pave deal.
Take the center BLOOO ( the nerve of her to merely call it "blue diamond")- set it in platinum prongs. Surround that with Pink diamonds- micro-set in pink gold.
Outboard of that, we can place a set of half moon diamonds- themselves surrounded by micro-pave. The half moons get the colorless melee.

The shank would be a graceful affair- a Winston style shank was discussed.

Qat, I think you've absolutely made the right call here.  Replacing the diamonds in the original ring with white rounds and then really going for broke with the design of the BLOO, getting exactly what you want, is exactly the right way to go, IMO.

David - is this gonna go well with mum's band?  I'm having some trouble imagining it together.  Tell me this platinum and pink gold delicate beauty is going to sit comfortably side by side with Mum's yellow florentined and white gold band.    It's a gorgeous design. I'm dyin' to show it to my DH.   But put together with mum's ring, well frankly I'm afraid it's gonna look like a Ferrari with fenders by FORD. 

PLEASE - tell me I'm crazy.  I'll belive you.  Honest!

Do you have to wear the rings on the same finger?  Could you wear the wedding band on one hand and the BLOOO on the other?

I think this might be the best solution.  These two rings are at opposite ends of the ring design continuum.
