A 1.28 carat princess cut diamond, in the Blue Nile 14k white gold floating halo setting! :love:

It's been a journey (my husband -> :wall: ) , one that has lasted through several ring changes over the years. But, I can say with 100% confidence is over! :clap: Last month I had chosen a beautiful 1.20 carat princess cut 'J color' diamond in the floating halo setting. It was beautiful but the warmth was an issue. I then exchanged it for a gorgeous emerald cut, that ended up not being eye clean. And it just didn't feel right, but I'm glad I ordered it (and that it ended up not being eye clean) because it made me realize that my first choice WAS a princess cut diamond. So, Blue Nile being awesome, accepted the emerald diamond back and I found an amazing new diamond.

Carat weight: 1.28
Cut: Very Good
Color: E
Clarity: SI2
Length/width ratio: 1.00
Depth %: 68.4%
Table %: 74.0%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry:Very Good
Girdle: Thin to Slightly Thick
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Medium Blue
Measurements: 6.09 x 6.08 x 4.16 mm
Finger Size: 6

Going from a J color to an E was the absolute right decision! The SI2 is 100% eye clean from the top and I can see a tiny feather from the side, but I actually like that I can see it! I love the setting and purchased the matching band as well. I plan to get a second band to stack and/or wear on the other side of the halo. My DH is thrilled that I'm so happy and in love with it and he loves it too (and is relieved this purchase is over! :dance: )!

Now on to a ton of photos!

Great decision! Your new rings are just lovely and they look perfect on your hand. I have a five-stone ring from Blue Nile that I adore and it is nice to see others posting some of their pieces.

I really love this princess cut stone -- I think it's just a sparkler with that E color! I also really like your setting choice, which I agree with another poster --- it looks fabulous on your finger. Congrats with your purchase and for going with your gut. :apple:

Also, wanted to add... I, too, have a SI2 and have not regretted it. It performs beautifully and is eye-clean. :sun:

I love the "floating halo" effect and the matching set - in this case, I think the matching band really enhances the e-ring and gives you a lovely clean look. And - that center stone looks much larger than 1.3 carats! Enjoy your new rings!

Congrats on your choice, both rings are fab!

Your wedding band is very similar to something that i am looking at. If you don't mind, what are the spec's for it. Is there a link to one on BlueNile.

Thanks!
