He purchased the cushion... now which setting? (pics)

[cutes814]

Hi Portia!

I like the setting on the right as well. Your stone is gorgeous!!

I absolutely love it. Can''t wait to see the finished ring.

Hi Portia,

I forgot to mention that the setting on the right side was my fav. but I think you will feel more comfortable when you review the settings again in person. I sometimes change directions at the last minute - the answer will come to you! Happy shopping and browsing!

 

[portia]

Thanks all for taking the time to look and post your opinions.

Well, I couldn''t wait until next weekend to look at the settings again so we went yesterday afternoon. I tried both on again and some others I saw, but the Danhov one I didn''t want to take off! So as decodelighted said... I think it''s the "right" one! hehe

However, I still love shared prong rings and since you really can''t wear a wedding band with the Danhov, the jeweler suggested getting a shared prong eternity band to wear on the other hand. That way I have both!

My BF took more pics and some of them turned out really nice. I''ll post a few more in a bit...

 

[AndyRosse]

Waiting on those pics......

hehe

 

[LadyluvsLuxury]

sooooooooooooo...where are the pics?

 

[portia]

Ok, here they are! First... a pic of the stone...

 

[portia]

Here''s the Danhov setting from the side...

 

[portia]

And here''s our stone on top of the setting. Didn''t work very well, but you kinda get the idea...

 

[portia]

So what do you all think? Is this the winning combo?

I think I like it best!

 

[Kerbear560]

OMG! That is totally a winning combo! I''m over here drooling! I love that stone...it''s gorgeous! And that setting complements your diamond beautifully! I love the pave and how it''s low-set! Absolutely stunning together!

 

[sevens one]

OMG- Portia-
what a fantastic stone. Those shots are just incredible.
The setting will add icing to the cake.

Love the fire coming off of that baby.

 

[Mara]

WOW that setting is stunning from the side, the surprising part is that it''s so simple!! And the stone on top of it, swoonable.

I think that is definitely the right one!!

 

[valeria101]

What a ring!

From the pictures it seems like a band made much like the shank of the ring could fit under the bezel ring holding the diamond. I can''t tell whether it may hit the pavilion of the diamond though...

A RHR shared prong band sounds great, of course.

Congrats for the very, very nice find

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEvaiyghn. (or for the non-Southerners -- Divine!) You know what Nike says?

 

[fatafelice]

Now that I have picked myself up off the floor....I LOVE IT! I''ve been away for a few days and I just saw your post. From the beginning, I was voting for the Danhov, and I adore it even more now! I can''t wait to see the finished ring!

PS: Where did you get that awesome cushion!?

 

[portia]

fatafelice,

The stone and setting are from Dimend Scaasi in Chicago. Issac is great to work with! We highly recommend him. He has such beautiful stones and settings. And he was very patient with me in choosing the setting. I''m very indecisive!! The ring should be done in a couple of weeks so we''ll post more pics then.

 

[Kaleigh]

portia, OMG are you kidding me??? That stone and the setting are just to die for. I don''t say that often. I am in love with it. Yay for you!!!!!

 

[mrssalvo]

I think it looks fab. perfect choice. i can''t wait to see the pics once it''s done.

 

[portia]

[cutes814]

Portia,

It looks great. Any news on when it''ll be ready? I can''t wait to see the finished ring. Your diamond is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[Shay37]

Oh, Portia, that is the perfect ring. It is simply stunning. I am not a real cushion lover. They are pretty but not my favorite. Yours may have just won me over. How gorgeous is that rock? It''s so gorgeous, I''m typing with my chin on the floor.

Congrats. Yes, that setting is the one.

shay

 

[Leila]

Portia, that''s going to be a GORGEOUS ring!

When is it going to be ready? I''m looking forward to some pictures! And congratulations to you and your honey!

Portia, you''ve got a fabulous stone and a setting to die for. I think they''ll look great together. Can''t wait to see the final ring. You must be so excited.
