FrekeChild Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,928 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 12/14/2007	I'm a dork. I know. Story and a couple of pics here! 1.2ct Barry Bridgestock Blue spinel 6.5mm 14kt Vatche Royal Crown replica 3mm shank It changes from a grape-y purple inside and under fluorescent lights, and it's blue in natural lighting. Sometimes it looks gray-ish and sometimes it's a combination of purple and blue. Overall, it's sparkly and I love it! These are the shots I took last night and this morning in Vegas, so there will be a real photoshoot probably tomorrow some time. YAY!!!

If I don't change the setting, the prongs need to be changed. They are somewhat pokey. (ETA: Sorry about the fingerprints!) _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats."

I'll be back with more later! Oh, and the ring size is a 6.5. _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats."

I adore the pics of it in daylight, that blue is to TDF..who am I kidding, so is the purple.! But the blue in the sun..it looks like a crystal pool of water in Turkey or something, lol..You must be staring at your hand all the time..? I'm sorry you're not happy with the setting..will you change just the prongs or the whole thing?

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,256 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Its beautiful Freke and many congrats on your engagement! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Like you, the prongs aren't really my thing, but that stone--oh baby! Also, the part in your proposal story where you say he got all teary and said he wanted to get it done sooner...that made me cry. How utterly sweet. Congrats to the both of you again, Freke!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UK Wedding: April ?th, 2010 US Reception: May 30th, 2010!

I love the stone(lovely color!), and I love it in proportion with the width of the shank--perfect! Do you want to reshape the prongs--more pointed or claw? I think that would be gorgeous. So happy for you Liz! Coati, G.G.

What a wonderful story (congratulations by the way) but a lovely ring as well. I love gems that shift colour. Many many congratulations to both you and Mr Freke.
