Hi Everyone!
I got engaged on July 21, 2005 and I have posted some messages on here, but i have never been able to post a really good picture of my ring. SOooooo...here it is! The center stone is from a ring my grandmother had. When she passed away 5 years ago my mom inherited it and she gave it to me. I gave it to my fiance when we started talking about getting engaged and he set it in a setting he got in Downtown Los Angeles. I don''t know any of the specs. My grandmother was from Argentina and I think she got the ring there a LONG time ago. She was in her 80s when she passed. The diamond is hand-cut and there is a visible inclusion on the side of the diamond. You can see a little yellow spot on the edge of it where the inclusion is. But it''s deep and hopefully it wont get worse. We can''t really afford to get a new diamond in the center and I like knowing that my grandmother''s diamond is on my finger. I think it is about .70 ct. I don''t know anything else about the diamonds in the setting. The setting is 18 K gold. I love my little ring and the man that gave it to me. We are getting married in April 2006. Hopefully i can find a band that will look nice next to it. There are diamonds on the side of the ring too, very tiny ones, and I am afraid they will be covered up when i wear the band, but oh well. Thanks for checking my pics out!

Your ring sounds lovely and sentimental. However I cannot see it.

Your setting is lovely! The bezels around the side stones are a great touch very lovely. What does the gallery look like?

You can kind of see the tiny diamonds on the side. There is one on either side of the round bezel, then 2 where the pears are, and then 3 under the center stone on either side. I hope I am explaining it right. I don''t know the lingo.

The gallery is what you see if you are holding your hand in a fist and look across, not from above. The setting is really fantastic and your diamond is an heirloom, a great combination!

Palegirl,

First I want to say Congratulations on becoming engaged! Then, I think that the setting you chose is just perfect with your grandmother''s stone. How lucky you are to have such a fabulous heirloom. It''s a beautiful ring and I can''t wait to see what type of wedding band you choose.

I absolutely love your ring and think it is EXTRA special that the center stone was your grandmothers! The setting compliments the diamond so well (FI did a great job). Just beautiful!!! You shouldnt have any problems finding a matching band... there are a lot out there that have that antique-y look and many on here that have them!

Congratulations!!!

I absolutely LOVE that setting! I love the bezel set pears and rounds on the sides - and the milgraining and the whole look of the ring give it an updated but vintage feel. It's amazing! And the heirloom stone - what a wonderful piece altogether!
