Do you want to see, MY RING??? Emeraldlover1''s emerald is here!!!

[katamari]

Wow! Totally worth the weight. Congrats, Em!

 

[wishful]

Congrats again! Really gorgeous pics...that ring is to die for!

 

[Kelli]

I was told by a few different jewelers that you shouldn''t drop below G color and vvs clarity for emerald cuts. Now I know they were WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! That is definitely one of the most beautiful rings I have ever seen! I think I''m gonna have to buy myself a tiny little baby EC for my right hand and upgrade it as the years go by.

That is why I like sites like this. It gives you the opportunity to obtain the information and facts and then make the decision. I think J''s are worth looking at in person. I think well cut ones are a worthy buy.

EM1,

To clean your rock, soak your ring in some warm water with a little windex and a couple drops of dish detergent in it for a few minutes. Then scrub lightly with a soft baby toothbrush, then rinse. To finish, actually clean the diamond with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol (a tip from Mark T). Just run it over the pavillion. He says that they constantly used alcohol to clean diamonds at the GIA (he used to work there). Sometimes I will throw my ring into the us machine too, but I wouldnt with yours b/c there is a bit too much pave. I would just use this method.

I actually carry alcohol swabs with me in my purse, b/c I am obsessed with keeping my ring clean (yes, I know Im nuts!). But, honestly, EC''s dont sparkle half as much when they''re dirty!!! And sometimes after you wash your hands when your out, it gets all grimy from the soap, etc., so it needs to be swabbed down!!

I said it before, and I''ll say it again, your ring is GORGEOUS!!!! Makes me really wish I considered a lower color to gain more size when we were looking at stones....If I just knew then what I know now....

Dani,

THANK YOU! I''m going to get all this stuff today and try it out. I''ll let you know how it works out.

I did it! I got all the stuff and cleaned my ring. I want to do it 10 times a day! Seriously, the alcohol is the best. My ring is soooooooooo sparkly. Thank you! Now, how often can I clean it, realistically??? How much is too much?

 

[krisvrn]

I love it! absolutely beautiful ring!

[mommy2iz]

took my breath away!!! i''m a long time fan of emerald cut stones, and your ring is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! congrats and many happy wishes!

 

[kcoursolle]

BEAUTIFUL!!! What a gorgeous ring! The EC is stunning and incredible and I love the dainty halo and lovely profile of the setting.

 

[sammyj]

WOW!!!!! This ring is absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn''t a big fan of emeralds before but I definitely am now!
Congratulations!!!

 

[eaglesgal]

That is seriously one of the most beautiful rings I have ever seen!! Crazy beautiful!!! Congratulations from one Tacori owner to another!!

 

[emeraldlover1]

Thank you! I thought this thread was long gone; I''m sorry for not responding sooner. Its been a few weeks now but I am still staring at my hand and cleaning it daily how Dani suggested.

On another note, what can I do to keep my ring from turning (its a little too big) without getting it resized or have sizing balls put in?

 

[eggy1024]

i love it. simply stunning.

 

[cmarie]

Emerald is usually one of my least favorite shapes, but yours is incredible! I love the delicate halo -- it sets off your stone just right and makes for a very pretty (but not overdone) blingy effect. Beautiful!!

YAY...prepare for the motherload of pics. These outdoor pics are soooooooooooo much better.

CONGRATS! The ring is BEAUTIFUL!!! That setting is gorgeous too! I love settings like that, they make the diamond look bigger

It took me a while to finally get good pics too, but it''s so much fun taking them once you get the hang of it! It looks stunning! Congrats again!

 

[risingsun]

I would NEVER have thought of putting a halo round an EC but W O W!

Very many congratulations on your engagement and stunning, stunning ring.
