VC Engagement Ring pics

[seahorsegurl]

Yesterday was proposal day for me.

While the story isn''t spectacular by PS standards, just hearing FH say the touching things he did down on one knee was enough romance to tide me over for quite some time.
I had decided based on the valuable advise I''d read here on PS (thanks to everyone for being so supportive and patient with those of just learning about diamonds and settings) that I''d wanted a Van Craeynest setting a few months ago. FH realized I was very particular when it came to my jewelry and told me to go ahead and pick out the one I''d like. So, I worked thru the process with Larry at VC with him setting a family stone in the 484 LG #4 setting with a white gold head. The ring had arrived approximately a month ago, and I''ve been anxiously waiting ever since. So, now I can share pics!
The specs on the stone are 1.01 RB, I color (with strong flourescence) and SI2. Thanks again everyone, I wouldn''t have such a beautiful ring if it wasn''t for PS.

Well, if I ever figure out how to resize my pics, there''s one more I was wanting to put on here... Oh, and don''t mind the big gash on my finger, I''m a bit of a klutz. I was actually trying to trim the flowers FH got for my birthday and the knife and I had a little go-round. The knife won.

Yay, I figured it out....

[lyra]

Gorgeous! I love the white gold head and fishtail prongs. (sigh)

 

[seahorsegurl]

Thank you to everyone for your congratulations and nice comments. Van Craeynest does do a fabulous job with the details, and when Larry said he could make the fishtail head in white gold, it sealed the deali. I''ve always been a sucker for two tone rings and fishtail settings, probably because that''s what mom''s original engagement ring was. Thanks again!

It''s so unusual! I love it!

Wow Seahorsegurl, congratulations on your engagement!!!

Your ring is just lovely

. I must say I wasn't crazy about the #4 head from the stock photos, but thanks to your ring and your pics I'm totally diggin' that look... and I'm thinking the proportions are just perfect for your diamond and your hand! I love it and I can wait to see more pictures

...

ETA: I hope your finger feels better soon

 

[kcoursolle]

[coatimundi_org]

(Sorry, I''m at a loss for words, so the silly little emoticons are going to have to do the work for me!)

Wow, OK, I''m feeling a little better. Congratulations on your engagement! That is incredible! Is the triple prong portion of the fishtail head actually concave? It looks like flower petals cupping the diamond. So beautiful, that''s an heirloom piece if ever I''ve seen one.
