Thanks! I have tried bands with it, but I wear it by itself. I wear a couple of bands on my right hand. Here are a bunch of pictures of the band I was intending to wear with it:

Somehow I wandered into the 5ct thread [eek! I should not have gone there!] and ended up here again, having a great time looking at Penelope. Wonderful that you're excited and enjoying taking photos even after the initial rush of meeting her. She is one of a kind and lovely to look at, even through the eye of a camera & on a computer screen. She must totally blow you away in person : )

When the thrill starts to wear off, I take off the ring for a few days, and then I am excited to put it back on.

It has finally gotten sunny here in the northeast!

Just amazing

Just read your post about resetting in RG Tourmaline. Is it for Penelope or a different stone?

It is, indeed, for this one. I'm so fickle!

Ooh! I loved this ring. But it's good to follow your heart and Penelope will look amazing in a red dress. Who is creating the setting for you?

I loved it, too! But now that I have the band in 18k rose, the platinum solitaire seems cold (gray) to me. I thought about doing the exact same setting, but the prongs are thin and I would worry about the strength. I am having it made by the same company that made the other two solitaire settings for this stone. I'm going for a simple victorian solitaire look. It'll sit higher than it does now, and the bottom will sit nicely next to a band (so I can look married instead of engaged, haha).

Looking forward to see your new ring! It will look fabulous.

Very much swooning over your second setting. What is the proper name for a setting like that? Basket setting? Also, what are the dimensions of your 5 carat? Curious of the top mm!

I would call it an Edwardian style basket setting. My diamond is 11.5mm.
