Hi,

First time poster but relied heavily on all of the guidance from the forums when deciding how to proceed with getting an engagement ring for my (now) fiancé. I ended up going with a 1.47 J VS1 OEC from Adam over at OWD and worked with Grace and Erika from JbG to create a custom setting.

While Erika's "Grace" setting is absolutely gorgeous as she originally designed it, I wanted to incorporate something unique into the setting. My GF and I met while working in a music related profession and I thought that the cathedral look with circular details holding up the basket resembled half notes. So, the thought was that two half notes make a whole note - each of us being a half note holding up the basket (our relationship).. Anyways, I can't say enough great things about working with Adam, Grace and Erika - they are patient professionals who helped every step of the way.

Thank you to everyone on this site for providing so much insight into the world of old cuts!

Here are a few hand shots, as well as some photos that Erika was kind enough to provide:

It's absolutely stunning. I could drool over that all day! I saw these photos on her instagram account and I'm so happy that you shared some hand shots to give some perspective. I was dying to see some hand shots of that stunner. I think your custom design is flawless and you and Erika have created a really stunning design. I'm actually trying to brainstorm some ideas of a slightly different Grace solitaire too! But I'm waiting to find the perfect AVR from GOG first.

You and your fiancee must be so pleased. Congratulations on your engagement and your beautiful ring to symbolise your special relationship :))

Thanks for the tip about the blog and IG postings - had no idea! It's an overcast day here but maybe I can convince her to take a couple more shots the next time the sun comes out :)

The Grace is such an elegant design. What a treat to admire the handshots. You did a great job personalizing the Grace to symbolize the love between the two of you. I hope you will post many more pics of the ring.
