Fingers firmly crossed Cog. I'm off to visit a garnet ring tomorrow. I might want it in rose gold but that shouldn't massively increase the price as its an existing design in white gold.
Garnet in Rose gold should look really pretty @tinkerbelle,
I think I'd be happy with it in yellow gold as well but I think it's only in white gold. Now much as I like white gold I don't think it's the best option for a warm toned gem like garnet. And I am a tad rose gold obsessed.
Gorgeous - and oval cut too, much better than round especially given the size. Just so happens to be my favourite cut. I like the setting too, nice and simple.
l'll just check my piggy bank.... nope not quite enough
Perhaps we could all club together, then Y could work out a loan schedule based on contribution? I'd probably only manage 5 minutes a year but that would do!!
