Fusionx · May 20, 2015

Hello all! Thank you all for your help! It's finally shipping today and will be here Friday. (Original thread with all my questions about it here: https://www.pricescope.com/communit...rincess-diamond.212165/#post-3872689#p3872689

These are the pictures WF sent of it all put together before shipping it out. It's a Platinum Ritani Micropave braided diamond band with milgrain finish (Can't see the milgrain in the photo's as its hard to capture on camera).It's in size 5 with .25 on the band (minimum H color and VS2).

The center rock is a WF A Cut Above, Super Ideal, 1.007 Ct Princess Cut. I in color, VVS2 clarity. Measurements are 5.64x5.59x3.93. 2 Chevron.

Beautiful! I'm sure she'll love it!!

It's really gorgeous! Are you sure there is milgrain on it?

More pics when you give it to your GF!!!

gorgeous detail! Congratulations

Fusionx · May 21, 2015

Thanks! Can't wait to see it in person and see the sparkle.

The order number and invoice have the correct sku # for the milgrain, but based off the pictures it might be the non-milgrain version. She tried on the non-milgrain version way back and loved it, so if it doesn't have it, no big deal (as it's also the same price). But I will let WF know so someone in the future doesn't receive the wrong one. I think they both look great.

It's really pretty. I love the detail of the metal on the side. And about the milgrain... my wedding band came with it, but 14 years later, it's hard to see it. So, I think either way is good, too. I do love the look of it, but I'm not sure it always lasts anyway. But, very gorgeous!!! Best of luck on the proposal.

So exciting! Congrats! Cant wait to see real life shots & hand shots.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I'll definitely post real life shots and hand shots!

Rockinruby · May 22, 2015

Very pretty setting & gorgeous stone! Looking forward to more pics! Congrats!

Fusionx · May 22, 2015

Well it came in! Here are some photo's. Excuse my gross -manly hands. They did send the non-milgrain version, I informed them but she will like this one equally as much. The diamond sparkles like crazy! It show's a little warmth in inside lighting but is completely white under sunlight outdoors.

Again, excuse my gross man hands:

Indoor light

Indoor light

Outdoor - Indirect light

Outdoor - Direct light - Hard to capture all the sparkle with a camera phone.

....Now my anxiety is kicking in. What if it doesn't fit (I know it will it's a size 5 and she said shes a size 5 but still..), What if it's not white enough? What of it rock isn't big enough? Haha I know she won't care about any of that, I just need to take a breath.

telephone89 · May 22, 2015

Stunning! I actually came into this thread in the morning and almost posted "Soo..its friday...wheres the pics!!!"

I'm sure she will LOVE it. So exciting!

tyty333 · May 22, 2015

Wow! Now that is gorgeous! Congratulations on your upcoming engagement!

azeusa · May 23, 2015

Congratulations - great setting and fantastic rock! She will be thrilled.

Acinom · May 24, 2015

What a stunning ring. Great choice!!
She will be thrilled

Fusionx · May 26, 2015

Thanks everyone! Your nice words mean a lot! Was a nerve racking experience.

I'll be sure to post better photo's and of it on her finger when I propose in Hawaii next month!

Fusionx · Jun 14, 2015

I'm getting nervous! Leave for Hawaii in a few days and can't wait to finally give it to her. It's been hard seeing it sit in my dark safe for a month, there have been times I just wanted to take it out and propose right there. I'll get some hand shots of her wearing it this week!

CRYSTAL24K · Jun 14, 2015

I am so excited for you! Can't wait to hear the details about the proposal and to see the ring on her finger

Polished · Jun 15, 2015

You've done all the leg work fusionx so you think of all the whatifs, remember she'll be just be seeing the gorgeous finished product. Good luck with the proposal.

sjr1974 · Jun 15, 2015

Oh my goodness! That's beautiful!! I think your worrying is unsubstantiated. What woman wouldn't love that beauty. Best of luck with the proposal. Can't wait to see hand shots

rubybeth · Jun 16, 2015

It's gorgeous! Also, I don't think it's "showing warmth," as you say, it's reflecting the colors in the environment. You can especially see this in the photo where it looks darker, because even the side stones are reflecting the same color and I'm guessing they are slightly higher in color. An 'I' color stone is a great balance between size and price. Good work!!

Fusionx · Jun 24, 2015

As promised, some pictures of her wearing it! She absolutely loves it and I pulled off the engagement as a total surprise! She told me size 5 which the ring is but it has a little extra slack to it. We may get it resized, her fingers swell up when shes active or hot so she's unsure.

Some photo's and (1) quick video of the sparkle (can't really see it good in video) at dinner one night.
