Mr. Firefly is sweet and wonderful, but not exactly the creative type. When he proposed many moons ago (April 2005!), he wasn’t sure what type of ring I would want, so he went with a very simple, 4-prong, white gold setting. His thought was that I would go back to the jeweler and have the stone reset, but I liked it and I thought it looked good on my hand…
…Fast forward to late into my pregnancy, one day at work I looked down and one of the prongs was up! Holy #&^*?&^!!!! The ring is insured, but I’d be crushed if I lost the stone and who really wants to fight with an insurance company?
Given that my fingers were getting puffier by the day, I put the ring in storage with the thought that I’d have it reset later this year. Like any true Ohm’GodI’dNeverPayRetail New Yorker, I planned on going to the diamond district on 47th Street to check out settings, but honestly, I just don’t have time to bargain shop anymore. Mr. Firefly and I were at the Westchester Mall recently and I spotted this ring at Bailey Banks and Biddle by Scott Kay . I know it’s probably overpriced for what I’d be getting — essentially a chunk of platinum and two microscopic diamonds on the sides — but I kinda like it. It’s simple, but different. And the stone wouldn’t be set too high, so I wouldn’t be scared of wearing it around Baby Firefly.

The store will be having a 10% off sale later this month, so I feel like it’s now or never. For what it’s worth (and I know everyone has different budgets), the price of the setting varies based on the size of your center stone, but it should be around $2300, before the discount and tax (which will essentially net out).
What do you think? Should I do more home work and bargain shopping, or just go with this setting?
