Hello all! Some of you were asking for "In real life shots". I took a few on the long car ride home from Pittsburgh to Bucks County.

Here they are...

OMGGGGGG!!!! Thank you for posting this IRL picture. The stone looks soooooo lovely. Its icey with a blush of blue. I love it. I want it. If I were in that car with you, I will take it out of your finger and wear it all the way to your home. Just kidding!!!! You''ll probably will slap me back into reality.

Honestly, I''ve never thought a cushion will look this gorgeous and yummy. I love it!!!!

I''ve been following your story, was waiting to see your e-ring and now that you post a picture of it, it makes a good ending to the beginning of a love story. Congratulations on your engagement!!!! Good luck with the wedding!!!!

 

[LadyBlue]

Your ring is gorgeous

.. Love it

 

[shimmer]

Cinnamon, I keep coming back to this thread because your ring is so so so gorgeous!!!!

I think you have inspired me to get a cushion! We have the same ring size too, so all the pictures really helped

 

[FroggyMont]

WOW!! That is a beautiful ring!!

 

[Callisto]

What a beauty. I love the cut of your cushion, I''m hoping to get a similar cut diamond. And the more cushions I see with double claw prongs the more I like them. Congrats!

 

[cinnamongurl]

Thank you all for all of your lovely comments!

It was a long, stressful process to get this ring, but now that we have it, it had made all of the worrying worth it!

I promise to post information about where the diamond is from, because our jeweler found it from a man that specializes in older cuts and is based in California. I am waiting to hear back from her through email, but will post it once I get it!!!

Thanks again everyone! I can''t wait to be married to my best friend...now starts the stress of planning!

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

Oh it is so beautiful!

congratulations of your engagement!

 

[cinnamongurl]

I am SO unbelievably sad...my ring is back to the jewelers because the diamond was moving

I discovered it on Thursday, as I was wiping off the top of the stone with my shirt. I could feel the diamond shifting under the fabric!!

My fiance didn''t believe me at first, because I am constantly worried about the ring and looking at it all the time to make sure it is just right.

We brought it to the jewelers while we were in Pittsburgh for the 4th of July, and they said I could wear it, that the diamond wouldn''t fall out, but I just didn''t want to risk it. They are supposed to bring it to the man that handmade the platinum setting to see what can be done to the existing setting, or if a new one would need to be made...

I''m sad that I am without my ring...and am feeling like this could take weeks to be fixed...

Has anyone else experienced this with custom work? The jewelers are great, and said that this may be happening because it is an antique stone (odd shape) and the setting is handmade... I would appreciate any insight or dust to bring my ring back soon!

Yikes. Good thing you spotted the problem and are getting it fixed. I wouldn''t wear it with a loose stone, either. I''m sure they will tighten it up for you, hopefully very quickly. Lots of dust going your way.

 

[Dannielle]

[elle_chris]

[Ellen]

cgirl, that cushion is just gorgeous! In fact, I took the liberty of making you a couple new avs, as I just couldn''t take it looking like an oval set E/W! Hope you don''t mind.

 

[Ellen]

Another option.

 

[joelly]

Ellen, thats very sweet of you.

Cinnamongurl, luckily you spotted it before its too late. I hope you got it back soon. It is such a lovely stone.

 

[Kaleigh]

Wow, I just love your cushion. Those chunky facets are stunning. The setting is perfection, just to die for!!! Congrats!!!
