Please show me your rings w/3ct.+ centers!

You are SO sweet! The my stone is actually almost a perfect square (1:1.02 ratio) so it must just be the picture.

I am actually planning on wearing a wedding band with it. In fact, I will be getting it tomorrow!!! Hopefully I''ll have pictures to post today

You can see the CAD/CAM for it Here.

All the rings are platinum, and very heavy! The best part is they really don''t get scratched like other platinum rings I own. I don''t know how WF does it, but their jewelry really holds up well!

Oh, and one thing you should know--my SO doesn''t know a thing about jewelry. I picked out my stone and setting, and my wedding band. He was just sweet enough to pay for it all

So, thank you for the compliment!

I just got pictures of my actual wedding band! You can check them out Here. Let me know what you think!

Mmmmm...beautiful and classic, Trishy!

I really like the double baguette sides..

What wedding band do you wear with it?

Trishy,
That is gorgeous. No wonder you are looking for a 4+ carat! I didn''t know how big your original e-ring was. It really is a beautiful stone and setting!

 

[Daisyheart]

Widget....I don''t wear a band with this ring (and sometimes people think I''m engaged), I''ve tried several bands and I just like the ring alone so far.... Can you believe this ring is and SI2, that''s a pretty close picture and you still can''t really see it. It''s a little bubble flaw right in the center off to the right a little...you can barley see it. Even when I point it out, people don''t see it.... Ahhhh it fell into that "wonderful SI2"category ....thanks for the compliment...

S95, that''s not my original E ring. My original is a 1.57 round E VS2, set in a simple gold band that my dh designed, just something simple. That one is my special, surprise engagment ring he totally picked out.... This was my 5 year beauty, I''ll be married 10 years next year so that''s why we''re looking for another. I dont'' trade these in, I just collect

Thanks,
T

Madrocks ring rocks! I wish I could pull off (or even afford) a diamond this size, it''s goregous! People would either think I robbed a bank or that it was fake but I''d sure give it a try wearing it!! LOL!!

My 3.07 green tourmaline e-ring...

Specs:
Green Tourmaline in "modified princess" cut (octagonal) by Barry Bridgestock and sold by acstones.com. 8.4mm, 3.07 cts

Setting is custom made by Michael E. in white gold, with 6 2mm diamonds, hand engraving, and faux fishtail prongs. Michael carved them out of stock v-prongs for a look that would both showcase and protect the somewhat delicate tourmaline.

Hand shots soon (hopefully "girl soon"!)

Velouria: Absolutely gorgeous tourmaline ring! Are you going to do a solid band or one with tourmaline and/or diamonds?

With my first ring(red garnet), I always considered having a band made with garnets or some combination of garnets and diamonds to coordinate. I ended up with a plain band but the idea still seems fun!

Madrock: Thanks so much for the hand photo. The second I saw your magnificent oval ring in the other thread I sent a link to my husband(I''m always torturing him with these amazing pics). heeheee. We''ve only been married for three years so anything nearly that grand would be in the *far* distant future!

I used to be set on an EC as my dream ring but I''m starting to love how ovals combine the rounded softness with elongated elegance. I love Ecs(they''re so stately and crisp) but they can ''feel'' a bit hard. If that makes any sense.

 

[velouriaL]

Kalagee- I was thinking about going for something with colored stones in the w-band, infact, that''s exactly what I wanted to do when I first decided that I wanted a colored gem e-ring. At the time, I wanted a sapphire,and I think that would have worked nicely, but I think that it would be hard with tourmaline. Tourms in the that shade are rare enough, and to find small ones might be particularly challenging. I think I''m going to go with a diamond eternity band that matches the engraving and diamonds on the shank. I like gaps-- especially the one between my BF''s front teeth!

LoL! My son has a gap too. I think they're adorable! My mom too. I always joke about having one filed/drilled by my dentist so I can fit in with them... family resemblance..heeheee

I remember reading years ago it was a mini trend to have a gap. Some fashion models were having them done to give a 'quirky', more memorable look.

****
That's true about the matching tourms trouble... also a diamond band will go with everything!

Emeralds ? Small and square ones... perhaps just one for every two diamonds on an eternity band

or...
