The setting is beautiful, too! Are you keeping that or is it temporary?
DS, so you saw this stone! You can see why I fell for it right? I hope your friend finds the right one for her. It's hard to understand what people mean when they say it's personal until you try the search yourself. Now I get it. It's quite an amazing stone. I can't believe he still had it in his inventory. Maybe this stone and I were meant for each other. Funny huh?
The setting is temp because it's definitely appropriate but not what I envisioned. I would love a tri-wire from Victor, but can't consider any move now bcause I am overwhelmed by this stone. It keeps screaming "look at me!!!" All day long. So when I can get over it, I may think about a more elaborate or special setting. Right now I just want to to calm down, and this setting is understated and can help me accomplish that.

Welcome to the OEC club
Adam has chosen a beautiful setting for you. Do you miss Victor's setting?
I don't miss Victor's setting because it wouldn't really go with the stone.
Thanks derbygal. If you are considering an OEC, don't rule Adam out. If I didn't work with a person as patient and tolerant as he is, I would have never bought this stone. Never. He is not low pressure. He is NO pressure. For that reason, I totally trust him. I'm really lucky that he insisted this was a better one than the I. He would have sold it to me if I wanted it, but even though that was more, he didn't in anyway encourage me to change to it. I made up my mind completely on my own.derbygal|1464109650|4035810 said:What a gorgeous OEC. I keep thinking my 25th anniversary ring is going to have to be an OEC. Thanks for all the info about your experience with Adam.
Thank you ac117. Please keep us updated on your search. I'm excited for you.ac117|1464112096|4035825 said:My oh my, wowwwwwzaaaa!!!!!It's so gorgeous it has me rethinking about my upgrade...soooo off to OWD I will have to go just to make sure I know what I want before pulling the trigger!
Please post a zillion more photos!! I don't get tired of looking at it!!!
Thank you Alex T. Just go have a chat with Adam and see what he can find you...Alex T|1464116108|4035850 said:Oh LLJ..... I think it is the most perfect OEC I have ever, ever seen....
The setting is just divine & they look like one was designed for the other. They are a perfect match. I really do need to get an OEC at some point in my life. I am craving the beauty of those big flashes of colour!
Happy Anniversary & congratulations! It looks like a keeper to me!
Thank you lilysweet. I do stare at it all the time. It's unhealthy. My husband sees me walk down the hall and I'm holding my hand out and tilting it and staring.lilysweet|1464116986|4035857 said:The stone is truly charming! I love all the personality! The color is perfect, it is not warm to me at all, only inviting. It makes me want to stare at the stone. I also love the setting. Even though the stone is very sizable it feels like such a great combo that would be comfortable to wear all the time. Congrats on the anniversary and the truly lovely ring!
I'm kinda psycho at this point...

My DH however insists that this is good through anniversary #24. I said yes just to appease him. We'll be renegotiating the terms in about a year or so. I'm a reasonable girl.
sarahb|1464142487|4035999 said:LLJ--WOW, what a gorgoeuos stone--what a beauty!!!
What a PSer, right? However, I am keeping the setting for now. Maybe I'll save it for my daughter's e-ring... (hmmm... she's not even an adult yet...)
Thanks Bonfire. It is the one, for now.Bonfire|1464144870|4036023 said:Wow! I don't know how you could possibly improve on that setting, the stone and the setting are exquisite together. Perfection!
Beautiful in every way! I'm happy you found the one
I can relax and enjoy it more when I don't feel like the world will come to an end if I change my mind in the future. Funny huh?Hi Tweeter, yeah, I did. Put on my big girl pants and went for what I wanted.tweeter8177 said:Oh wow!!! You went for it!!! Your new diamond is sooooo beautiful!!! I wouldn't stop staring at it either! Congrats on your soon to be 20th anniversary too! Did you ever see one of Victor's CARs when you went to visit him before? (Sorry, maybe I missed it!) I am curious on your thoughts on the differences between a true antique OEC and a newly cut?
Enjoy your new ring!!!!!
I did not see his CAR, only the CAC. Dumb. Not so next time. A CAR would be stunning. I would look at I, J and K... I considered getting a CAR, around 1-1.5 carat, but then if I had two, and I always reached for the CAR, I would be annoyed to have a stone that I'm not wearing.

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary (wow, what a milestone!!) and on this beautiful new diamond.
I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive for you b/c you seemed hesitant. But, now hearing you say that it was love at first sight and how much you continue to love it, then this is THE ONE!! The faceting is AMAZING!! I'd love to see it in person; or in video (shame we can't post videos here).
If you are ever in the SF Bay Area, look me up and we will introduce my pretty to your many pretties. I hope one of them is aka pave Love with ceramic. Let me just say I can see you wearing that with jeans, some super casual stuff. I wait with baited breath...
Thank you ForteKitty. I found your past threads to be a wealth of great info to help me figure out what you an old cut expert beautiful in an old cut. It took quite a bit of studying, just to understand why I liked these old cut stones. Your holy grail is amazing.ForteKitty|1464127495|4035916 said:
