turtledazzle''s Sheldon Speyer rings

[turtledazzle]

Well, I''ve been meaning to do this forever, but life has been so busy! We got married on May 20, 2007 -- and we *still* haven''t planned out our wedding album so our photographer can make it for us (and it''s already paid for!). But, priorities -- I found time to take some pics for my PS friends. I actually had a job interview this afternoon that went quite well (going back for second interview in a couple of weeks), so this is my reward to myself until hubby gets home.

Pics of the e-ring alone can be found here.

e-ring: center stone is 1.01 H VS2, Gia Excellent (Excellent Polish, VG Symmetry); side stones are French-cut baguettes
w-ring: 3/4 eternity with alternating rounds and French-cut baguettes (not positive of carat weight, but ring is thin, roughly 2mm)

Here''s the photo-shoot!

Aw, thanks everyone. Had a great dinner out with DH last night and enjoyed a nice bottle of Cabernet.


Rock Candy - I love the engraving as well.

Jenn5504 & kellyfish - Thanks so much! I still get enjoyment every time I look at them!

fabcrab - I love engraving -- I''m so drawn to it in rings.

coatimundi - Thank you! I love that bottom ring in your avatar!

mrssalvo - Thanks! Any sign of Jake''s arrival yet? I keep popping over to the Preggo thread to see which one of you will go first! Good luck, we cannot wait to see him!

Ellen - Thank you! I love those arrows in your avatar!

steph72276 - Thanks ... your little boy is adorable!

allycat0303 & DandiAndi - Hand shots coming soon ... just didn''t have time to post them last night before dinner.

gemgirl - I love the antique look, too.

thing2of2 - Thanks! I love the w-band too, but originally wanted something a little more substantial so it could be worn alone when I wanted. In the end, though, I found nothing looked quite right with my e-ring except another Sheldon Speyer ring. I''m glad I chose it since I really do adore it.

Catmom - Thank you! You''re colored stone collection has me very envious ... I''m dreaming of a RHR someday.

orbaya & 2danes - I''m in love, too! Thanks so much!

SanDiegoLady - You''re such a sweetie. Thanks for the compliments! I found the Sheldon Speyer e-ring setting at one of my local jewelers and fell in love. When it came time to go w-band shopping, I looked around a lot but in the end decided that only another Sheldon Speyer ring would look right. So I looked online at the Sheldon Speyer site and in a catalog my jeweler had and thought this w-ring was beautiful. My jeweler asked SS to send him one for me to see since he didn''t have it in the store. They got it in and I loved it and SS made one for me in my size in 3/4 eternity as requested (The resizability issue of full eternity scared me too much, so this was a good compromise. I do have to ''fix'' it every so often, but usually the metal side stays on the underneath side of my finger). Hmmm, maybe that was a much longer answer than you expected?

baby monster - Thank you! Your avatar cracks me up!

canuk-gal - Thank you!


OK, now back to the photos!

I totally love them!!!

They are kind of like the BK set I''m impatiently waiting for. The center stone looks huge! I just love all the detail in them too. This is totally my style.
