So I finally proposed and she said Yes (OMG YAY!)...and due to circumstances beyond my control I couldn't see the ring physically until the day I proposed. I worked with Chris at Engagement Rings Direct (ERD) and I really can't praise him and the company enough. Before I started this whole process I knew 0% about engagement rings...now I feel like I have a wealth of knowledge. Not just from my own research but from Chris assisting me every step of the way. The ring he created is phenomenal and both my girlfriend and myself absolutely love it. The diamond is Stunning, the band is gorgeous and when you put it all together I honestly don't think I could've received anything more perfect. Members on pricescope recommended ERD to me, and I highly highly HIGHLY recommend ERD to others who are looking for help with a ring. I've attached the pictures I received from Chris that they took for me but will upload personal photos I've taken once I have the ring in my possession again. Unfortunately there was miscommunication in ring size (not between me and ERD, but between my gf and msyself) so it's in the process of being sent back to ERD so they can resize it and ship it back. I should also note that I consider myself a unique case as I travel often and currently live in Korea, originally from the states, girlfriend is from Canada, and I'm constantly travelling between the 3. So time frames and shipping was critical. Chris did everything in his power (and more!) to make this process go smoothly.


Carat Weight: 1.26 CT Clarity: VS 1 Color: H
Measurements…6.20mm x 6.04 mm x 4.09 mm
.60 carats around band
size 7, being resized down to a size 5 (whoops!)

We purchased a set from a BM store but had a horrible experience and ended up returning. While searching for something new, I discovered PS and I am so happy I did! Through you guys I discovered antique cut diamonds and fell in love. I owe the love of my new diamond and set to this forum! Thanks, PS!

After a long and hard search for an OMC I found my beauty on eBay. The setting and band are from a local jeweler.

I noticed there has been plenty of AVC lovin' here, and very little attention for AVRs... so for those of you that are considering AVRs, here are some of my pics of my new RHR (and summer sausage finger LHR)

d11.jpg (142.29 KiB) Viewed 1129 times
All 3 stones are J VS1, the center stone is 0.60 ct and each side is 0.46 ct set in 19kt unplated white gold. The melee are extra stones that I had from my first ring project (F VS2 and natural pink diamonds). I was considering smaller sides or a larger center but a) the larger center was sold while I was thinking, and b) I hadn't decided on the setting and GOG requires that all stones under 0.40 ct are set by them into their setttings. I liked Packrat's 3 stone AVC which were all similar in size (0.46 - 0.48 ct each?), so I thought what the heck and bought these.
After a huge delay in customs, I finally got to look at these babies in person. They are much whiter than I expected, but you can definitely see some tint next to my 0.70 G VS2 MRB. If you want to see actual colour in your AVRs, like the often described "buttery" or "vanilla", definitely go lower than J.
I had the stones set by a local jeweler (and also a PSer) who was also pleasant to work with.

This been a project that I've had in the works for a while. It initially started as a pendant, then evolved from there after I finally received some backpay that's been owed to me for ages... and now it's done!

Sort of...

I'm debating whether to add engraving to the sides of the ring. Maybe a scroll pattern?



Thanks for looking

He proposed last night and I said yes! It's a 0.86 M VS1 August Vintage Cushion from Good Old Gold in a custom Vatche setting (1531 with added split claw prongs).

I finally found the right band for my 25th anniversary upgrade halo e-ring (which hasn't been formally introduced yet)...

Our anniversary was in April...I had purchased a vintage platinum e-ring, with baguette side stones and a vintage platinum w-band, but developed a very nasty allergic reaction to the platinum...yes, it is possible to be allergic to platinum.

I then changed out the e-ring to an unplated white gold halo - which I love, but I didn't want the matching band...didn't care for the look of the two rings together.

I started looking for a simple eternity band, but wanted some style to it too - and saw this band on another Pricescoper's thread (thanks Webdiva!) and had to give it a try! Took 3 weeks to get it, but was worth the wait, I LOVE it!

I am wearing a 1mm spacer too, the bands would rub too much without it and I hope to get many years of enjoyment from both rings...hoping the spacer will make that possible.

Here are a few pics!


Stats:

Marquise - 1.48 ct. - H - Med. Blue Flor.
Ring size: 5

Pic of the ring I am giving to my girlfriend... ordered from bluenile, it's the Flora Vida Diamond engagement ring in platinum setting. Center stone is 0.71 Carats H colour Internally Flawless with an "Ideal Cut" (triple ex on GIA report). Diamond also has very strong blue fluorescence with none of the negative effects of fluorescence. This photo was taken with my cell phone so picture quality isn't great, I will try to get a photo on here that shows the diamond with fluorescence.

Hi Everyone. He proposed a week ago and I'm thrilled to show off my new ring. It's cushion cut, 0.93ct, G, SI2 (eye clean), size 5.75 in a pave setting. I love it so much and can't stop staring at it!

 

[Gem Queen]

This is my latest wedding ring (same husband)
I don't exactly know the weight. The center stone is a little over 3 cts

 

[alisonia333]

Gem Queen: we need more pics of this, please! So beautiful! What size is your finger?

 

[Gem Queen]

I'm a size 5. It is a great ring. I usually buy a new setting every year, but I just really love this one. I will have to post some of my other things

 

[Gem Queen]

This is my pear that I have. I just dressed it up with a halo.

 

[Gem Queen]

My pear after halo. I just love this thing.
2.08 VVS2 E color. Perfect cut. Great right-hand ring!
P.S. I do wear it with the point facing out.

This is my e-ring. We had it made this year, first purchasing the 1.22/I/IF/Ideal GIA oval cut from Union Diamond in Atlanta (online), then we designed the ring ourselves and had UD create it, too. It is an east-west semi-bezel setting in 14K WG, chosen because the stone was not truly colorless (the creamy gold goes better with I/J color, I think). The east-west setting makes it look so much bigger than it really is, and the understated ring really lets the diamond stand out. The coolest thing about it is the floating appearance of the stone when viewed from the front or back.

I am completely in love with my ring, but not as much as I am with the man who gave it to me.

Hi, AmysBling! Thanks for always updating this! You disappeared a bit and I updated the 2-3 ct thread... Phew! Now I know how much work you put in "bookkeeping" for us PS-ers!! So thank you super much! And I hope everything has been well for you! You haven't been as PS active lately..

I LOVE this ring!!! What a beauty! It needs its own thread!

I purchased this ring for my girlfriend last week. I am going to propose to her this weekend! Wish me luck! I have this big elaborate plan so cross your fingers everything goes to plan! I posted the link and the image. Hopefully the image uploads correctly. I am not very good at this tech stuff!

Since I'm still waiting for my own ring here's a pic of Mum's 40th wedding anniversary ring. It's a 1.3ct natural ruby (not altered in any way), with 0.38ct each pear shaped diamonds E VS1, set in a platinum setting with 18ct yellow gold band to match her wedding ring. I'm wearing it in the picture, finger size J (NZ) or 4 3/4.

Thank you! It is based on the Royal T, but with sapphires instead of rubys and some other minor customizations. Very happy with the way it turned out!
