ChicagoMel Rough Rock Total Posts: 15 Last Post: 1/15/2008 Member Since: 1/9/2008	Hi everyone, I thought that I would share these pictures of my engagement ring with everyone, enjoy! Here are the specs: setting: Verragio 0284 (modified). My fiance had Verragio stop the pavé diamonds at 3/4 of the way around as compared to all the way. The "bridge" under the center stone was also modified to include diamonds on the portions that face you. Center Stone: 1.5 carat cut: ideal clarity: VS-1 color: G

I know you can't see it anyway, but just love to hear diff opinions bc I was planning on doing it all the way... Oh!

And Hand Shots Please!!! My fiance actually picked this one out all by himself and after speaking with the jeweler, he decided that having the pave go all the way around there was more of a chance for a diamond to fall out. Also, he thougt that if the ring ever needed to be resized it would be easier withouth the pave on the bottom. I hope to have hand shots up in a few days.

Didn't think about the sizing thing! I have to say that he has fabulous taste!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Italiahaircolor Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,341 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/17/2007	A lovely ring...althought, personally, I'd be uncomfortable wearing a ring with a diamond set that way. I'd be freaked out that I'd "knock" the diamond loose since it is hovering. ____________________________ Remember to keep your words soft and sweet...you may have to eat them someday.
