Sarita's Rings

sarita Ideal Rock Total Posts: 502 Last Post: 1/4/2007 Member Since: 8/2/2005	I am going to head it with ring(s) and add to later as I go. For now, here's my 1.7ct M VS1 emerald cut diamond ring. I'm getting antsy to get engaged so I have been spending more time with it early. It is in a 14k WG 4-prong non-basket setting. Ring size is 3.5 but this one is actually a 3.25, I think. The first 3 shots are what was in the auction, but I had already bid on the ring before I saw the last pic of the loose stone so I really wasn't sure what the M color was going to look like. Sometimes I do wish I had a white white stone but for the most part I am very happy with this one. Just wanted to add I love this site and all the new beautiful jewels to stare at. I came from DT and a fresh place with a new crop of eye-candy is great!

sarita Ideal Rock Total Posts: 502 Last Post: 1/4/2007 Member Since: 8/2/2005	This was the seller's handshot. I think it looks great and love the size. Back when I got this the idea of a 1.7ct was enormous to me. (I think the seller's ring size was a 6 or 6.5, for reference).

sarita Ideal Rock Total Posts: 502 Last Post: 1/4/2007 Member Since: 8/2/2005	This is with my Platinum Tiffany & Co. etoile that I plan to wear as my wedding band. BF and I will probably pick out titanium or tungsten rings (his preference) to use as "our" bands when the time comes but I knew I wanted this ring too.

sarita Ideal Rock Total Posts: 502 Last Post: 1/4/2007 Member Since: 8/2/2005	Thanks for your compliments! ::waves:: Hi, Widget! It's synicgrrl from DT. Nice to see you here! Yes, believe it or not, I purchased this ring from eBay, from a wonderful and trustworthy individual. (I was burned once before being foolish and impulsive, and boy, did that stink!) At that point I was just browsing but the price was incredible and I knew I wanted an emerald cut diamond but I was thinking somewhat more along the 1ct range. What a sweet suprise in my budget! I had planned on resetting into into this pretty semi-mount I found (also on eBay) but because of the warmer color I think it would look out-of-sorts in the ring. Plus when I got it I was actually pleasantly suprised by the solitaire look and the focus it put on the stone itself - something I wasn't expecting I'd go for. Sometimes I like the warmth, sometimes I wish it was whiter. I've toyed with the idea of a rose gold microsetting to bring out the pink, or, alternatively, a thin platinum bezel to enhance the white (it is white face up in most views, just a muted not ice-white look), plus this would match the round bezels in the etoile. Choices, choices! For now this is how it is. I'll check out options when the time comes (sometime next year).

FireGoddess Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,145 Last Post: 3/23/2009 Member Since: 1/25/2005	Cool pictures!!! There are definitely some where you can see the body color of the stone but it's not detracting by any means. It's a gorgeous warm tinge in some lights and always bright in every shot! I love the ring and the sheer size of the stone...and with the etiole wedding band...DIVINE. I LOVE how those two look together!!!!!!!!!!

katrina_33 Cut Rock Total Posts: 445 Last Post: 7/30/2008 Member Since: 6/8/2004	That's a cool stone! I like the color - in the shots where I can detect some body color, it almost looks ever so slightly champagne-y rather than yellow tinted, which I really like in the pics. Is that the case in person as well? It looks stark white in most of the pics though. What kind of color do you see in real life, & under what light conditions? Just curious! It looks great on you!

glitterata Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,364 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/17/2002	I love that color! It's pinkish. Does it look that way in real life? Super pretty. I would be tempted by rose gold too, though it does look lovely in its current setting.

BrightSpot Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,783 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 4/14/2005	Your ring is just beautiful--classic elegance! What a find on eBay!!! I think it looks lovely in its current setting and the etoile band compliments it perfectly. And I never would've guessed it was an M in color! It looks so white in most of the pictures--or a lovely shade of champagne. Not a bit yellow! So, so lovely... Welcome to PS!

And here I always thought step-cuts had to be icy white for me to like them..... PS teaches you something new every day. Looks great on your hand too, very elegant. Thanks for sharing and challenging my diamond ideas! And spam away!! I do NOT need another diamond.... I do NOT need another diamond........
