New bezel cushion e-ring!!

[laine]

My FI proposed almost a year ago with a ring that was supposed to be temporary (he knew that I wanted to help pick out/design my ring)--we finally got around to replacing it. I absolutely love Neatfreak''s ring, so mine is very much inspired by hers!

Mark at ERD found the cushion and made the ring. We had a slight miscommunication--I assumed he knew I wanted it set east-west, since I wanted it to look like Neatfreak''s, but he assumed I wanted it north-south since that''s what 95% of people prefer. He was able to get it fixed in less than a day (I was shocked and thrilled when he emailed to say it was done), and it looks perfect!!!

Your ring is gorgeous!!!!!! I love that stone. I am going to add it to my bezel thread but I want to wait for the change over so it is permanently there.

It looks lovely, and the bezel is so delicate! Perfect!

So pretty and simple - love the E-W, glad it could be fixed easily.
Looks fab on you, and larger than 0.70 imo!

Thanks everyone! I really love it! And it was really fun to take pictures of it, though most of my attempts came out blurry. Any hints other than using macro and a steady hand? I think I remember a post on photography tips--I''ll search for it later.
