My New Emerald Cut Halo

[momothree]

Several weeks ago I posted the long story of how I mysteriously chipped the center stone of my engagement ring but had a very positive experience working with my insurance company to secure a replacement EC stone. The new stone was so beautiful that I decided not to reset it in my less than beautiful ER mounting. Instead, I got a new home for the new stone courtesy of Dimend Scaasi and here it is. I am very very very happy!!!! Did I say I''m happy?

The previous picture was on my right hand, where the ring will probably be worn the most. However, it can also be worn on my left hand alongside my eternity band.

It''s beautiful!! I''d never seen an EC in a halo before and I love it! Your halo is so refined and elegant!

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh WOW, it looks awesome!!! I''d be happy too. LOVE IT!!!!

And, just for fun, here''s a side by side comparison with my old ring. If it''s not too terribly boring, I will post some more pictures tomorrow once I can take pictures with natural light. The halogen desk lamp simply does not do this ring justice...

Oh wow! that''s one of my new favorites! It looks GREAT! I love the elegant halo.

It is lovely! Make sure to add it to the "show is your EC" thread.

I really, really, really want it...oops, I mean love it

hehe.

Yowza! Incredible!
I never thought of an emerald in a halo but it is spectacular.

Happy New Ring!
lovely!

 

[jadove]

That is just stunning. Please post a lot more pictures!!

 

[monarch64]

I love it!

 

[SuzyQZ]

Yes, more pictures

please!

That ring is just beautiful and I have never seen another one quite like it. It makes a bigger statement on your hand than your old ring. You did good and yes we'd love some more pics of it!

 

[FireGoddess]

Okay, I need more info!!!!

First, that stone is beautiful - and so large on your finger! Have you posted the specs? I''d love to know what they are on that big beautiful EC!!!!

Second, I love the setting! The thin shank sets off the stone and halo so well - and the halo fringe is a really nice frame for the EC!!! How wide is the shank?

Beautiful!!!

This is one of my new favorites on PS as well. I just love emerald cuts! That side-by-side comparison is really amazing. The ring looks so much better now (no offense).

 

[momothree]

Thank you everyone for the wonderful compliments!!!

Here''s the specs for FireGoddess (whose ring was one of the inspirations for my own, I should add...):
1.30 ct
H, VS1
7.80 x 5.38 x 3.39
Depth 63.0%
Table 61%
Girdle Thin
Culet None
Finish VG/VG
Flourescence None

I just got my ruler out to measure the shank. It''s a half eternity ring and it seems to be about 2mm wide on the metal and about 1.5mm where the stones are. I asked for a teeny-tiny shank and I guess that''s what I got!

Just curious, what do people think about the ring worn in combo with the eternity band?

 

[momothree]

Lizz: No offense taken. I had "issues" with my ring for years and the stone accident just gave me an excuse to take action!

 

[FireGoddess]

Thanks for posting the specs - I just love it and I can''t get over the dainty shank and that big stone and halo - it''s perfection! It reminds me of an icy pond with glittery snowflakes around it. YUM.

I think it looks good with the eternity band and that even though the eternity band is pretty substantial in size it doesn''t overpower the center stone with halo. I am a matchy matchy girl to some extent so I think it would look DIVINE next to a thin eternity band...

 

[KristyDarling]

I''m speechless!!!!! [jaw dropping]

I think it''s incredible and it looks great with your band. It has a lot of zing to it, now that it''s in that dainty halo!

 

[lumpkin]

Wow, that''s stunning. I never thought of an emerald diamond in a halo (and EC cut emerald, but not diamond) and it''s really a gorgeous ring. I like it even more than your last ring.

That is beautiful, I have never really seen a halo-setting with an EC before- enjoy it and congratulations!

I absolutely ADORE!!!!

Your setting is exactly what I would love to see my 3 emerald cut stones set in. It''s so dainty and elegant.

 

[littlelysser]

Wowza! I''ve never seen an emerald in a halo before. I LOVE IT!!!

[bstraszheim]

A very beautiful reset! It looks just gorgeous in the halo! Dimend Scaasi did a fantastic job. Wear it in the best of health.

I wish you well,

Bridget

Thanks again for all the nice words. I just got a chance to snap a few pictures by daylight. Much better....
