I cried when I read your story about the origin of the diamond. That is such a sentimental, phenomenal connection to such a wonderful lady. Not to mention that it''s a big, huge, honkin'' rock! I''m so happy for you! By the way, I also love the lower-color stones and the old mine cut diamonds. They are so unique.

What a beautiful ring thats going to be! I love the fluidity of the scrolling on the inside. Did you design that yourself?

FFF:

The story behind your stone is an incredible one. I found myself a little weepy at the end of your story.

Thank you so much for sharing. Your ring is going to be outstanding.

edited to add: I think it will be done by this time next month (Michael said he'll need about 3 weeks to make it perfect and I'm not rushing it) which will be right around the time that we move into the old farmhouse we'll be renting, not a bad way to start a new chapter of our lives together....

Well with Eric''s horror-writing background and the new idea of having a Halloween party in 2006 as our wedding reception, maybe he will be planning sometime both creepy & romantic

Fountainfairfax!

Such a beautiful design. I love it, and it suits the stone (and the story of the stone) perfectly. I can''t wait to see the finished product!

I hope everyone excuses my enthusiasm and that you aren''t all bored to tears but I wanted to share a photo showing two different size accent stones- I couldn''t make up my mind, I thought that the 3 pointers might show the swirl detail a little better but BF took one look and said "Go with the 5''s" so there will be a .05 g/h SI2 set in the center of each swirl (4 total.) (and just ignore the black circles on the wax- the shank will be smooth)

Now he starts to cast in platinum.....for a commitment-phobe like me this is a huge step

(BTW my BF is just excited & happy...the poor dear probably thinks this ring will be the end of my diamond obsession, little does he know

Are you kidding? This is so exciting!

I think the five pointers look just great...this is going to be one of my favorite PS erings.

Your BF isn''t going to do something mean, is he, and make you wait to see it until you''re "officially" engaged before you can see it...is he?? I''d go mad...

Wow! Miss FFF that ring is just beyond what I ever could have dreamed when I saw your sketches from MD. Your vision for this ring is nearly compleate and what a stunning piece it will be! I am nearly as excited about seeing your ring as I am about getting mine.

I cannot wait to see the finished product....and to see it on your hand!

PS And yes the .05 diamonds look spiffy, really nice!

Wow, FFF, I just found your thread, and I have to say your ring is going to be amazing! I love the waxes--it looks a little modern, a little vintage, and completely one-of-a-kind! What a wonderful setting for your gorgeous stone! I can''t wait to see the finished product!

Thanks for sharing the story of your stone as well. I''m sure your aunt is smiling down on you & so happy that you''re using her stone to make your e-ring. What a wonderful way to honor her memory & to make her a part of the next chapter in your life.

I think the Halloween thing would be so fun! (BTW - my b-friend (FF) is moving in to my old farmhouse/cottage THIS WEEKEND.)
