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:
