DITTO!  And I love how the stone is set *into* the ring. Makes for a very cool profile and a neat banded look!

Thank you Firegoddess...my grandmother couldn''t give me any specs when she gave it to me, and while I loved it and there was no question about using it I was nervous about getting it appraised.
I had had a bad experiance a couple of years ago when I lost one of a pair of white sapphire earrings that I loved and had a lot of sentimental value. They were the first "real jewelry" I had ever bought myself and my best friend had worn them as her something-borrowed for her wedding, and just a million other experiances. I was so mad at myself for losing one of them. Anyway, I took the other one into a popular Boston area jewelers to have it reset into a pendant so I could at least still wear the one. And they were so rude about it! I know that white sapphires aren''t expensive, but they were just like "why bother with this piece of glass?" Anyway looking back I should have just left, but I let them do the work (they did do a good job to give them some credit). So, anyway, I felt really nervous going to Jeff Averbrook (Modified Brillant on this forum) to get this diamond that I loved appraised in case it wasn''t as nice as I thought. But Jeff couldn''t have been more complimentary about it. He also explained everything to me and showed me how to grade color. Really interesting. And (just to get them back) I spent forever in that other store while looking at rings to get a feel for what setting I''d like - I felt they owed me.  We actually found one that we really liked and almost got (which would have ruined the revenge point I guess), but one of the major points against it vs the custom one was that I really felt that it would be marred by the bad feelings I have for that store.(wow, sorry this got so long!) |

LOVE IT!!! I am a secret fan of E/W set marquis and I just love that setting, how the side view looks like it was scooped out just to fit the stone, so pretty. And that looks like a really stunning marquis!! I have been tempted to do something similar with a RHR kind of thing, but don''t know if I would wear it, but that''s just divine. I love it. Congrats!

I actually think I may get an eternity bad and wear my e-ring on my right hand. I would hate to block all the engraving. Alex at Bostonian Jewelers (they set my diamond into the ring - so nice, she raved about my ring and diamond) showed me a couple of different band styles. She thinks I may eventually get over my feeling that my fingers are too squatty to wear two bands together so I should get something that still looks good withmy e-ring. I saw a beautiful pendant at Lux Bond and Green that had a line of sapphires starting very dark blue and ending white. I was thinking about doing that continuously from dark to light and meeting back around dark in a eternity band. It would be sort of fun because as it spun around my finger, I''d have a whole new look! What do you think? |
Love the combination of modern and vintage elements. The setting is so unique, it makes me want one! That marquise looks gorgeous as well.

Oh my GOSH! I MISSED THIS POST! At first I was trying to figure out how I missed it, then realized I was finishing up my MA at Columbia and moving out of Manhattan...so I was very busy!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE THE E-W MARQUISE! My Mother has a marquise and was thinking of having it re-set. I LOVE THIS! JUST BEAUTIFUL!
