ť Van Craeynest 484 LG #4

Van Craeynest 484 LG #4

seahorsegurl Rough Rock Total Posts: 51 Last Post: 10/23/2008 Member Since: 1/22/2008	Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any pics of the Van Craeynest 484 LG #4 (the regular prong setting would be ok too) and/or the matching band (either w/ or without diamonds) on their hand. I've seen the pictures offered by the Van Craeynest, Clay Pot and Mickey Roof sites, but I was hoping to see one on someone's hand to get an idea of the actual size of the ring. I'm from the midwest and none of the states in this area have this setting. Mr. Van Craeynest has offered to mail me the setting I'm interested in to ensure I like it, but I figure if I can see it on someone's hand that will probably give me a better idea if it's THE one. Thanks everyone!

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	Thanks, Angeline for posting them! My finger is size 5.5, just for reference. And yes, that was a 1.5 ct. cz. I will tell you that I still think those are about the most beautiful settings I have ever seen! I decided not to get them and go for a more simple look, but I feel a little heartsick everytime I see them! There is a big difference in the price of the wider e-ring setting. I would have used the small wedding band with either e-ring. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

I'm out traveling for work and my bf just told me today that we got the notice that it's here! I'm so excited... However, I told my bf that I still expect a proposal from him, and I'm not actually going to see the ring until he proposes. This wait is going to be horrendous. I'll definitely post some pics once he proposes.

I did end up going with the fishtail mounting. The ring is here and at my house, but I'm waiting not so patiently for the bf to propose. I'm out traveling again with work, so maybe we'll all get to see it in a few weeks. I must say, I was sitting in the car when bf opened up the package. He gave me back all of my other rings (which Larry had been so kind to polish for me). My other rings looked amazing and I was oogling over them (4 OEC antique settings) while the bf was examining the engagement ring (and me refusing to give into the urge to look). He said the Van Craeynest ring put all of my other rings to shame. Needless to say, I'm waiting not so patiently...

I saw the setting at Cross Jewelers in Maine (where Diamondseeker's photos are from) when I was picking out my wedding band. It is sooooo beautiful. There was a thread a while ago where people posted their fishtail prong settings (my e-ring has them too). I'll see if I can find it. There are a lot of OEC fans around here who I'm sure would love to see pics of your other rings too! *** Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
