FINALLY...The Infamous Tacori Rings of Ms. PunchNPie75

[glaucomflecken]

Ok ladies and gentlemen...I finally got my own digital camera and am trying to figure out how to upload pics here in a proper size. So lets see if this works.

This is the INFAMOUS Tacori ring set of PunchNPie75. To recap, the rings were made too small and the wedding band got stuck on my finger, and were cut off in the ER. Band was fixed, but looked bad. Rings were remade...in the wrong size. Sent back, remade again, and looked bad! Now remade, and finally look ok and are wearable. Problem is now, I''ve lost some weight so they are slightly loose!

My set is a combination of the Tacori rosebud and the Tacori Platinum and Diamonds I. I love the three stone look of the rosebud but the thickness of the Plat/Dia I set. So they combined them.

The e-ring stats:
Center stone purchased from local jeweler:
1.52 carat round brilliant GIA certed
H color
SI1 clarity
Depth: 61.6%
Table: 57%
Girdle: Medium, faceted
Culet: None
Polish: VG
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluor: None
Crown: 34.6
Pavilion: 41 ( I know, not a PS fave but its veddy veddy sparklie)

Side stones: Each .33 carat, G VS2 (standard rosebud are like .10 each)
TCW of pave is .8 carat

Wedding band:
1 carat G VS2 pave

Both rings size 6, I wear a 5.75

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the side views...from the scroll work on the bands to the exposed view of the diamonds. If I had that set, I''d just drive around in my car for hours and hours admiring the view of my hand on the steering wheel.
