Say hello to the newest member of my little family!
I love this setting. I've been browsing antique and vintage rings for quite some time, and hadn't seen anything like this, so it caught my eye. Is it a buttercup? Is it just a scalloped metal halo? I've had these since March, so imagine my surprise when I saw that the JbEG ladies get a setting and ring just like this in their inventory in June! The setting is not original to this diamond, so the setter had to add a little bit of platinum somewhere (I got confused by his explanation) to hold it in. It's nice and secure, but it's not the prongs keeping it in place. Since the design of the setting has a vertical line drawn up on each of the prongs from the basket, it creates an adorable heart shaped prong. There are 6 hearts in the gallery, too. I'm not exactly a hearts type of gal, but it's grown on me.
And of course, the diamond! I am in awe of it. I love the crisp pattern-- a beautiful mix of old and new. There's some obstruction going on that is bothering me quite a bit, but meh, I think I can forgive it I am just so in love with how well it picks up colors in its surroundings, and reflects it right back!
