Big thank yous to EightStar, Mark Morrell and Marty Haske! My brother got engaged on Valentine's Day to his fabulous future wife with a 1.17 G VS1 EightStar set in a beautiful setting by Mark Morrell. Mark and Marty worked together so the ring was made, appraised and delivered in time for the Valentine's Day proposal. The EightStar is so magnificent and looks perfect on my brother's fiancee's petite hand. The setting highlights the stone so well. The diamond is extraordinarily brilliant and fiery as all EightStars are. It was so much fun for everyone gathered at the announcement "party" (it was a surprise to everyone but me) to see the diamond in the sunlight, in front of the venetian blinds and in dim lighting at the restaurant where we all went to dinner to celebrate. She loves it and my brother loved giving her something so special. The future in-laws were pleased too. ![]() Thank you again gentlemen. ![]() lawmax

Beautiful! Another MM classic...I adore the pave in the tapered way on the sides like some of his other works of art. Heart shaped prongs, a Mark trademark! Congrats to your brother and I bet it was fun helping him choose it!

That's really beautiful, Lawmax. I love it when the emphasis is on the stone(s), not the metal. In this ring the metal shows off the stone...awesomely! Congratulations on acquiring a new sister-in-law :-). Deb A Girl's Best Friend |

Hi LawMax!! Good to see you!! Stop by more often!! ![]() The ring is absolutely gorgeous!! Neat how the "double" prongs come together to form the hearts on top the stone!! Just like 2 people becoming 1 in their love!!
Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! |

So young and in Love... LOL Hi Deb I'm with you on the setting being a showcase for the stone. It really works in this ring. It is awesome in person.Hi Patty I love your ring. Mine had sapphire sidestones too. It went for repair and may come back very different one day. Hi DiamondLover23 Mark does beautiful work. The polish is amazing.Hi Josh Thanks for the warm welcome back and the congratulations. Mark takes awesome photos.Hi pq Cool observation on the prongs coming together in unity. One could find a lot of symbolism in this ring.Hi JAK Mark was great to work with too.Hi Giangi Thanks for the welcome back.I haven't had much time to participate, however, I LOVE sneaking over here to drool over all the beautiful rings. Keep them coming. ![]() Love, lawmax

Hi Heart Prongs. Those prongs are really sweet and yet subtle. Great idea by the original designer.

Quick Question - Is it Pave set or Channel set (Accent diamonds in the shoulders)? Thanks,

those appear to be pave..or bead set is another term for (diamonds set in with beads of metal)..or possibly prong set with some metal.
channel set is more along the lines where the small stones are set into the line of the setting.
e.g. this is channel
