Well, I finally set it!! :appl: After starting umpteen threads trying to figure out what to do with it- I committed to a setting!! Originally RDG was going to set it for me, but after tossing around ideas nothing came together and, well... in the meantime they decided to close. :o So, I reached out to Caysie at CVB Inspired Designs and sent her a few inspiration photos. After playing around with a few sketches, she was able put together a design I loved in just a few days whereas I had been agonizing over the setting for over a year- to the point that I was ready to sell the diamond!! Originally I had thought to play down the heart shape, but in the end embraced it in a BIG way-lol.

So although I will be posting it on the "Show me the Bling" thread sometime in the next few days with lots of photos and the stats- here's a quick preview. I am so pleased at the saturation level that Caysie's bench coaxed out of my "light pink"- it's really not far behind the pink in my "fancy pink" orchid!

Looks beautiful and the pink really stands out. It looks like a well saturated fancy pink. :appl: :appl: :appl:

thanks TL and mr kroshka!! It really is amazing the color saturation!

Here's a little side view, too. I used 2 pinks in the side hearts TCW.18ct- love the funky shaped hearts they sit in.

Nice pictures. It looks like the "purple orchid" stone's baby.

Wow, the sides are spectacular. Do you have a gallery view, or does it sit pretty low?

I love it. Of course, I love halos, but a double halo is even better!!! :bigsmile:

I also love how the halo tapers a bit, and isn't the same size all the way around, a nice artistic touch.

I think it looks more purple in the photos than IRL. It's really more of a true icy pink- although it certainly changes a bit in different lighting. The pearl photo was taken indoors in natural diffused lighting and the lily photo was taken outside in filtered sunlight.

thanks, Loverskites- I hope to have time to take more photos over the weekend and then I'll start the SMTB thread

DS- we really need to try to set up the NY meet this Fall!!!!! thanks for your input in the design process =)

Thanks Neil!!

TL- here is a not so great profile view for you- I should have more time to do better pics in the next few days -this is a little fuzzy, but I love the profile with a combo of milgrain and pave petals and the little diamonds within the petite hearts!! =)

Oh wow, just wow. It's a work of art from every angle. I love fine galleries. I think they're such an overlooked detail, but an important one.

thanks TL- I love a pretty gallery, too. It's hard to convey in that oversize photo how very delicate the gallery is.

Chrono- I appreciate your input in the CAD phase!!! Will half a million pics do??!! :lol:

That is gorgeous! I really like the shape of that heart and how the setting accentuates and repeats the shape. Lovely design.
