So I was finally able to get a few pictures of my ring.

It's a size 7.5. The cushion is, if I remember, 6.2*6.5?
.36 tcw half moon diamonds.

As I was afraid of, the yellow gold brings out the little bit of green in my stone. But for the most part it looks like lemonade.

Thanks for looking.

It looks amazing - do people who have no clue ask you if it's a yellow diamond? I imagine maybe they will, as the average person who doesn't think that much about coloured gemstones might ask if it's x or y or that has been my experience.... Anyway love it :sun:

Oh Niel, it turned out so well and is just gorgeous! :love: DK outdid himself on the setting IMO, looks perfect :dance: …love the proportions, and the chryso is my favorite shade of yellow. I agree with arkieb, I think a lot of people are going to think it's a yellow diamond! I hope you are loving it and enjoying it, because it really is a beauty!

No one has yet but I haven't sported it much yet. I would imagine they'll think it's that or a sapphire. But who knows. People don't comment on jewelry much in these parts, for some reason.

Yay!! It's a gorgeous ring Niel. The color of the chryso is amazing (just like a yellow sapphire) and the proportions of the sidestones are perfect. David did a great job with the detailing :love: :love: :love:
Please post a lot of pics of this elegant beauty.

Enjoy wearing this little piece of art on your finger.

The stones look wonderful together, and DK did lovely little prongs - enjoy!

It's lovely, Niel! I remember you were undecided about how to set these stones, but I think you ultimately made the perfect choices! The proportions, color combo, metal choice.... Love it all! :bigsmile: I especially like the third shot that shows the gold prongs against the chryso.

It does look like a yellow diamond and it is gorgeous. Love how well the half moon diamonds accent the stone.

It's beautiful!
The stones, the setting, all so perfect.
I agree it could pass for a yellow diamond, especially because so many people do not know about chryso. (including me until I started seeing them here.)

My jeweler was showing me a yellow diamond today and to be honest, I think your ring is just as pretty if not more :love:

Beautiful! :love: I am always on the fence about chrysoberyl, but this ring tips me over on the "want" side. The yellow looks sooooo lovely!
