It's here!! I ordered this Whitehouse Brothers mounting for my emerald cut nearly 5 weeks ago and, much to my surprise, it arrived yesterday! I haven't been obsessing about it too much because my wedding next month is keeping my mind plenty occupied. But I did ask my jeweler if she might be able to have it set the same day, and happily, she could accomodate my request. The best news is I absolutely love it!! I've had this diamond for over a year. This is the 4th mounting I've tried for this diamond. My first attempt was a custom job that had to be redone. The remake was better, but it was never quite right. I ended up pulling my diamond and replacing it with an aquamarine. In frustration, I put the stone in a very simple setting going east to west. That didn't look right because my stone is too long. Then I tried another mounting, a simple antique style mounting with round mellee -- very pretty design, but absolutely terrible workmanship. Fortunately, I could return that one. I was beginning to think that either I was totally crazy (still a possibility) or my stone was cursed. I thought I would give it one more try before completely giving up. So, here it is. This is the setting in which this stone was meant to live out the rest of its days.

Okay, here are the specs:

Platinum Whitehouse Brothers engraved mounting with .21 pts of G-H, VVS, Russian-cut mellee

Center stone:
GIA cert
1.51 ct Emerald Cut
Color - H
Clarity - VS1
Depth - 66.3%
Table - 64%
Girdle - Thin to Medium
Polish - Very Good
Symmetry - Good
Flourescence - None
8.19 x 5.40 x 3.58 mm

What do you think??

Thanks, all, for the kind words. I am so relieved to have found a setting that suits the stone as well as this one does. And this is a perfect RHR for me because it doesn''t compete with my engagement ring at all. Yeah! So glad to be done and so glad to be happy!!

I''m so glad you didn''t just settle, or give up. That setting ''fits'' the stone perfectly. Congrats,
