My new OVAL e-ring... picture-heavy!

[ephemery1]

My fiance surprised me with a proposal last Thursday (story in LIW forum: Proposal), and I am now proudly snapping pix of my gorgeous new oval e-ring! Just wanted to share...

~Specs~
Carats: 1.51
Dimensions: 8.58 x 6.40 x 3.96 (L/W Ratio: 1.34)
Color: F
Clarity: SI1
Depth: 61.8%
Table: 59%
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Flourescence: Faint Blue
Cut: 1A (according to oval grading on D.Atlas website)
Cert: EGL... but all info was verified by Chris at D.Atlas prior to purchase!

~Setting~
WG - Yes, I'm in the minority, and FI wanted platinum... but I like the lighter weight and brighter look, and our B&M (who did the setting) does free rhodium-dipping for life... so I think it was a good choice for us (until I change my mind!)
Sidestones: RB, .30 total cw
Size: 5.25

Precariously mounted in my living room rug... (notice the cat hair? may be time to vacuum...hmmm)

Maya again, maybe not quite as pleased as I was by all the picture-taking...

Another flower, smushed beneath the weight of my lovely ring...

I heard somewhere that a big oval = big table

... as in people w/big ovals, have big dining tables
