I did it! My new 1.58 OEC Upgrade in halo!

[Hera]

As you know, I love it!!!
The stack is perfection and I'm a gap lover!
While I'm normally not a halo lover, this might have converted me!! I think it really enhances your gorgeous stone!!

 

[bunnycat]

YAH-YA!!! Good for you!! GOOD FOR YOU!! & It looks soooo bay-YOU-tiful on your hands I'm sorry, I could not resist...I'm really happy for you; did you just about faint when you first saw it ???

Hi bmg- Thank you!! Yes- I was so excited when I first opened the box!

 

[Enerchi]

Bastecat - I've got a bone to pick with you!!! .... now you've got me rethinking my OEC and wanting SOOOOOOO badly to reset it into a halo!! I'm not happy with you right now, little lady!

You've got me churning and flipping all over again - should i? shouldn't I? Dammit, I thought I had it all settled back in November, now --- I'm so in love with your setting, that I'm seriously (SERIOUSLY!!) considering a halo.

ARGH!! Why does your ring have to be so GORGEOUS??? I WANT ONE TOO!!!

Who me????

I know IDJ makes a few in a nice price range........

LOL!!! Oh, I think I went thru their entire collection when I was looking... but yours just looks amazing in the setting you picked!! Really and truly, I've been mulling it over! I love this setting, I really do... but the original ring that got me started on the low OEC w the high colour melee, was the Henri Daussi 3 stone from DBL that nyc2chi received (but is she is selling... ) I loved that contrast. I still do.

What to do? what to do?

Yours turned out just perfectly - exactly how I'd envisioned mine would look if I went halo!! This is a "mental mind warp" for me right now --- I must stay strong and just focus on admiring your beauty!!

Enerchi - if you can afford it, you should reset your OEC. You're crazy in love with halos - you'd be so happy! And just think of the finger coverage. You can sell your current setting or get a cored stone for it. Do it.

Enabling done. Sorry for threadjack.

LOL- no way! I was implying much the same thing to our Enerchi here....

Enerchi- I just lucked out that this stone was already set in the halo, thereby saving me lots of trouble waffling on a setting....

GO AWAY!! YOU LADIES ARE BAD FOR ME!!!

I'm really toying with this - Rosebloom you must read minds!! I was thinking the same thing - I could sell my IDJ setting... but I LOVE that setting too... argh. PS is a mind field of FW problems, isn't it?!? Bastecat, you were fortunate it was just so perfectly set already!!

(but I am thinking - I've sent an email out for some input )

 

[two_little_birds]

Oh wow, somehow I missed this post!

It's a stunning stone and ring, and I'm so happy for you! I truly believe that things like this happen for a reason.

Now I want to see more photos of this beauty, pronto!

 

[LLJsmom]

The OEC looks amazing in a halo. It's gorgeous!! Congratulations!! It's beautiful!

 

[bunnycat]

Enerchi- you should definitely consider it!

TLB and LLJ- thank y'all for the very kind words! I'm very excited to have found such a pretty stone!

Chillaxin' in the yard (a major feat in 100+ temps)

A beauty, and finding it in the right setting is lucky. My favorite stacker is the art deco looking one on the green branch pic.

Thank you AnnaH! Yes- the VanCraeynest band was my wedding ring from hubby, He choose it himself and so it is the one constant in my bands that can't change. It's beautiful but it's the darn hardest band to make things match to. It seems most suited to stacking bands but I think it blends in pretty well with this set.

Here it is again with my Cheapie McCheap silver and ruby/pink sapphire ring from Ross-Simons. (I wanted to try out channel set bands, but didn't want to commit a lot of cash until I know they might work out...)

 

[Hera]

Just dropping by again to drool!! I love that VC band in your stack and of course that gorgeous diamond!!!!

I totally missed this the first time around and then saw your lovely set in the Shameless Bling thread. It's absolutely gorgeous and I love the halo with the plain shank. It's a nice combination that works so well with your lovely stack.

Thank you! I really love the plain shank, it gives me a lot of other options.
