[NKOTB]

LOVE the whole family! So glad you have found what you wanted.

 

[Acinom]

What a stunning piece!!! the center stone has so much personality and I love the setting! The amazing thing is that it's a vintage piece that is so very 'now' and it combines so amazingly with modern pieces. Congrats on such an amazing find

Your collection shows your excellent taste. I love love love the personality of a warm old cut stone with chameleon quality.
Please post lots and lots more pics.

[Circe]

I loooooooooooooove this ring - the stone is a kaleidoscope in motion, and that setting is a really gorgeous example of the style.

MOAR PICS, as the lolcats say! MOAR!

[GemFever]

I love it so much! Such beautiful faceting. And the setting! Perfect ring, congrats!

 

[mayday]

Your ring could not be more perfect. The diamond is one of the prettiest OECs I have seen here. And the head-on and side views of the setting are sweeet with those fat little marquises... The profile is fabulously, architecturally spectacular... It looks so lush on you, enjoy it every single day!

 

[msop04]

[armywife13]

Thank you for all of the kind words, kathley, arkieb1, bbziggy, thecat, kalomeli, NKOTB, IndyLady, Muluver, derbygal, Trekkie, and msop04!!!

I love everything about your ring. The stone is stunning, one of the most beautiful facetings. The setting is gorgeous, I wish I could find one like that. It's more special that an antique stone meets an antique setting. It's all meant to be. Congrats and I'm super happy for ya

Phale, thank you! I really feel like this diamond and setting were meant to be together! Your OEC is absolutely stunning, I adore it!! I will keep an eye out for a setting that would work.

I love how your new ER matches all of your other pieces perfectly! I'm glad you went back to a solitaire!

Mom2boys, I am glad I went back to a solitaire too! I am definitely a solitaire girl at heart, though obviously I won't turn down baby antique marquise and OEC sidestones on the band.

Oh my goodness gracious!!!!!! I love LOVE love each piece. Wow!!

Do you have a profile shot of the earrings?

Also if you are comfortable sharing, why did you decide to go with a solitaire over your five stone?

Rosebloom, thank you so, so much! I

I do not have any profile shots of the earrings at this moment, but here is the link to Erica's pictures of the earrings!

I really do love the 5 stone, but I prefer it as a RHR. My original plan was to use the 5 stone as a wedding band for a few years until I found "The One." But I found this ring much sooner than I was expecting, so plans changed!

 

[armywife13]

Yay! I am so happy that it is the one for you. The stone and the setting fit so perfectly together!

R.O.L., you are such a sweetheart-THANK YOU!

The faceting is fabulous and the whole ring looks just perfect on your hands. Congrats on finding your "one!"

k_darling, thank you! I am so happy that we have both found our "ones." Your OEC and setting are truly stunning!

That is soooo gorgeous!!! Are you sure it's M/N ?? It looks so white and beautiful. Love your pictures!!!!

missymoo, hello my wonderful blingy buddy! Thank you. This OEC is a chameleon, it goes from white, to creamy, to a light yellow, depending on the lighting. But I love her in all of them!!!

What a stunning piece!!! the center stone has so much personality and I love the setting! The amazing thing is that it's a vintage piece that is so very 'now' and it combines so amazingly with modern pieces. Congrats on such an amazing find

Your collection shows your excellent taste. I love love love the personality of a warm old cut stone with chameleon quality.
Please post lots and lots more pics.

Acinom, thank you very much! I am so happy that I was able to put this beautiful OEC in an antique setting, I love the combination. I feel like the bangle and earrings are a wonderful mix of modern and antique, the old cut stones and milgrain combined with clean designs.

I agree, warm old cuts have such great personalities. Their ability to act like a chameleon with their color makes them so enjoyable to own and stare at-ALL OF THE TIME! I swear I am getting a cramp in my neck from staring at this ring.

The ring is just beautiful! I can't believe how lucky you were that the setting fit your diamond! The bracelet is so pretty, too! Love your whole collection!

Diamondseeker2006, thank you so much! I hold your wonderful compliments in high regard, coming from someone with such a beautiful collection!

Thank you so much, mayday!!! The fat little marquise sidestones really sold me on this setting. Who can turn down cute little marquise diamonds?!
