*cue music*

Transformers....More than meets the eye!!!!!!

Hahahahahahahahaha! Finally, a solution for us fickle pickles! I cannot rave enough about Tami and Yekutiel at ID Jewelry!!!!!! They came up with the PERFECT solution for those of us solitaire girls who want to rock a three stone on glam nights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Vatche, who made it himself - I can have both a solitaire AND a three stone! I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, the halo - a moment of silence for the original setting.

Oops, wrote Soltaire in the header instead of Solitaire! Clearly, I am too thrilled to check my spelling!!!!

After having a baby, I craved simplicity and longed for a solitaire. I got this amazing Vatche 6-prong Tiffany repro through ID Jewelry. I cannot say enough about Tami and Yekutiel! Their customer service is... beyond description. I got this in the blink of an eye!!!! I'm told it was made by Mr. Vatche himself - who also made my custom enhancer in platinum. Love love love!

Solo fun

My DH calls this The Wedding Cake stack! He was shocked when he first opened the box to re-propose with the solitaire. He said it looked "shockingly small." So you resetters who are changing from halos to solitaires - be prepared!

Anyway, we both missed the bling of the halo but love the clean look of a solitaire. This gives us the best of both worlds!!!! He LOVES the three stone look. We are SO thrilled with it!!! It totally is our style. The halo was kind of over the top!

OK, don't be scared because I never wear it with the mondo eternity... but this was for fun!

WOW, I need lotion on my dry hands! It's cold in NY! But I didn't want to gunk up my bling today! Can we say...scaly? LOL

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

DH and I call it The Autobot since it's a TRANSFORMER!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Autobots....TRANSFORM! LOL... can you tell I'm having too much fun with this transformer analogy???

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Having a three stone reaaaaaaally brings up the bling wattage! It's crazy!

The Vatche custom enhancer is REALLY heavy, very well made. It feels VERY substantial and clicks into place. It feels like they're soldered together when worn. Just perfection!!!!!!

Outiside Whole Foods...look at how yucky our sidewalks are in Manhattan! Funny, I never noticed until I saw this pic!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

This is so much fun!!!!! I feel like now we solitaire girls CAN have it all!!!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

With the solitaire, I felt like it was very simple and elegant. It was more discreet.

This feels like One Serious Bling Ring! It's more of a statement piece, which is nice when I want to bling it up!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

I love the proportions. Each side stone is 1.08 carat - so 2.16 carats total on the sides. They are I and J in color, VS in clarity. GIA triple ex stones next to a GIA F VS2! They hold their own since Yekutiel found me MAZAL amazing beauties - pure firecracker power. Just crazy sparkly stones.

I thought my center stone was crazy sparkly but these side stones Yekutiel found can hold their own against it!!!!

Great finger coverage with a three stone!

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Woot woot! I started calling it Optimus Prime but DH told me he dies twice in the movies so I'm just calling it The Autobot! Ha!!!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Vatche made the enhancer knife edge as well! It is PERFECT for wearing an eternity on the other side since one side curves out gently and prevents the eternity from scratching my prongs!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Profile shot! It is AMAZING!!!! Vatche outdid himself - it just MELTS together looking seamless like one ring!

Soooo comfortable to wear!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Here is the curved metal side... I love this ring because I don't have to wear a wedding band with it. It just looks complete and if you look from this curved side, it looks like a seamless elegant wedding band is already there! Great for lazy girls like me!

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

What an awesome idea!!! I eventually plan to upgrade my ring (probably not for like 10 years though ) and I might just have to copy this idea. Its the best of both worlds!!!!! Beautiful bling!

 

[Bliss]

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

A RLP shot so give more perspective. My main dilemma before when thinking about a three stone was - how to get the blingy look while letting the center pop. Well, now with transformers like these - we can go blinged out to our heart's content and when we want the center stone to POP, wear the ring as a solitaire! Woot woot!

FICKLE PICKLES UNITE!!!! I couldn't wait to share this idea with you all!!!!!!!!

Now we don't have to agonize anymore - we CAN have it both ways! YAY!!!!

Happy Holidays to all! Thanks for tolerating my camera phone pics! LOL

Ingenious solution and excellent proportions - nicely done, Bliss! BTW, I always enjoy reading your updates - you're so bubbly, you always put me in a good mood. I mean, the bling alone would probably do it, but the infectious good cheer is a definite bonus!

Re: 2.73 Soltaire or Three Stone? Get both!!!! Thanks IDJ

Oh Bliss, I thought nothing could be more perfect than your Vatche U113, and now this!!!! Vatche really did an incredible job.

(I want a baby version for myself! )

LOL to the Whole Foods pics. I was just there today thinking to myself that I always see the best bling at WF! Too bad I didn't see yours!
