This is my Emerald cut ring. It's a 1.75 carat VVS2 clarity, with a J color. To me, it looks quite clear and shiny, and I can see all of the nice steps inside. I wouldn't really consider this "warm", but then again, i've never held it up against a D or anything. Keep in mind that I have a size 4 finger and a thin platinum band, so the center stone looks fairly big on my finger. I really like it...I think that round brilliants and princesses get all the hype, but Emerald cuts are so classy yet blingy to me.

So this is my first and probably last post. This forum has been helpful for selecting an engagement setting and now that I have a ring I'd like to contribute some photos for future reference. Pics of this exact Stuller solstice are hard to come by....

And sorry the pics aren't the sharpest, my camera is from 2005 which makes it about 100 in dog years!

The ring:

Stuller solstice solitaire part no. 15520615
Platinum
1.08 ct stone
Ring size 8, re-sized from 7

Here's mine: 1.96 OEC, J, SI2 (eyeclean)

Is this a new ring for you? It's beautiful and if it's new, it definitely needs its own thread!! :love:

Yes, this is a recent purchase! Thanks MissGotRocks, once I find my camera charger I plan on starting a thread - I just snapped this pic with my phone and thought I'd post it.

These pictures are related to my other thread that can be found here:
[URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/pear-halo-engagement-ring-diamond-cad-ring-proposal-bgd.173914/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/pear-halo-engagement-ring-diamond-cad-ring-proposal-bgd.173914/[/URL]

In short, I recently proposed with this pear halo engagement ring bought from brian gavin diamonds. Below are pictures of diamond and ring etc. Most are self explanatory, but should clarify that the balloon pictures are from proposal. I had 100 balloons on ceiling and another 30 or so nicer ones around the house. Looks a bit messy and disorganized in the picture, but looked nicer in real life. Also, I had a very hard time getting good shots of the ring. It looks nicer in real life and very sparkly.

The ring is of size 8.25 (for diamond size reference) and is made of platinum. Diamond stats are as follow:
Carat: 1.57
Size: 10.07 x 6.66 x 3.94 mm
Color: H
Clarity: SI2 (eye clean)
Depth: 59.1%
Table: 57%
Girdle: slightly thick - thick
Symmetry: Very good
Polish: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
L/W ratio: 1.51
Certificate comments: Additional twinning wisps are not shown. Surface graining is not shown.
Certificate: GIA

Brian gavins opinion:
"The diamond is beautiful with great life to it. It is difficult to show this in a 2dimensional static picture but I assure you that it is a great stone."

EDIT: since many people mentioned the color due to my other thread, I thought I'd clarify; even though I freaked out about the yellow/warmth in the diamond from my first impression, it turned out that I was wrong It is very nice and I have no idea why I saw so much color when I first opened it. I CAN still see a little warmth in certain lightning, but very minor and quite nice actually. So we are all good regarding the color now despite initial scare.
