Well, whenever you see a three page thread that wasn''t there a few hours ago, you can bet it''s some nice eye candy. And Chrono does it again - a piece worthy of royalty, a beautiful gem in an wonderfully well done setting...

Cellantani,
I am not complaining about how much more delicate this ring is in person compared to the CAD. I always knew CAD pictures show a bulkier end product but this one really reminds me of a Leon. The thickest part of the shank is 2 mm while the thinnest part where it tapers to the halo is 1.5 mm.

LD,
You are just too funny!

Laila,
It does have excellent coverage. The tip of the barely reaches my knuckle with my fingers straight, but thank goodness there is no overhang. I can still see some skin on either side of my fingers past the halo but you are correct, it’s just very little space which is nicely decorated with those sparkling ACA melees.

Crasru,
Thanks. Sometimes, it is very red and sometimes it is pink/red depending on the light source. You can always ask Eric if he has more similar material.

TL,
I don’t carry or even own any purses, remember?

Sonoma,
Does that mean you are interesting in getting a setting from WF with ACAs too?

To all (Catmom, SDL, Snicklefritz, Packrat, Linda, Gailey, Vesper, Icekid, LTFirecracker, BlingAddict, LittleLovely, AustenNut, Novel, Cind, IndyLady, Lovinggems, Ma re, Burberry and Boom,
I cannot thank everyone enough for your compliments. This Saturday looks like the earliest and probably best opportunity for me to take hand shots, which it seems like is a very hot request. I’m a terrible photographer but I shall do my best!

MZ,
I might yet have the opportunity to convert you into liking at least some diamond accented settings?

HD aka Mark,
Terima kasih!

Harriet,
Thank you. Yeah, who needs meds when this one is easier to stomach? Of course, it only means that my desire for large stones has only be stoked further.

Babydoll,
I hope your eyes and jaw are feeling better today. You are very generous with your compliment.

Luckynumber,
I think we have a few medical practitioners on PS who might be able to help your heart problem. Thank you, thank you. I hope you are doing better today.

Was that your imitation of Meg Ryan in the deli scene from "When Harry Met Sally"? LOL!

Oh baby, that''s a fabulous size! Treat that treasure well or as one jewelry designer I met used to say, you have to be a lady when you wear your best pieces, so nothing happens to them. Fabulous stone and ring.

Hello again everyone! I am back with the "home" shots as well as some handshots. Be prepared for a deluge as I took nearly 50 pictures.

This ring is incredibly photogenic and fun to take pictures of.

This is a low light picture but I like it because I managed to capture some fire of the diamonds.
