My partner and I have been together for 7 years, and tomorrow I'm buying the diamond and having it set (setting is picked out, and almost complete, see below). My jeweler has brought in 3 cushions. Two just arrived from Israel, and one he bought when he was at JCK a few weeks back. They are all about 1,2 ct and G-F VVS-VS. The setting is platinum, unpolished, and hasn't had the pave set on the top. It will look similar to Tiffany's Legacy, but we're setting the diamond up a bit with prongs, so it's not channel set or bezel set like the Legacy. I'd love to hear what you think about the stones. Sorry I don't have full specs yet, I should tomorrow when I see them in person. First one (attached) is a 1,21 ct F VS1

To gauge the stones at all, you need to see them face up against white paper preferably. "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal

customcushion Cut Rock Total Posts: 220 Last Post: 8/17/2008 Member Since: 6/17/2008	ya I know. They are taken under plain light, just quick shots. I'm seeing them tomorrow. I know they're all fine quality, that the buyer (my guy) selected himself. What do you think of the design ?

purrfectpear Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,706 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 3/31/2008	The design looks like it will be terrific. Can't wait to see it with the pave and all ready to go. Be sure and post some shots of the finished ring. "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal

Since you did, and you loved it...sounds like a winner to me How many days before the setting is completed? Are you excited beyond belief "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal

Just need the pave on top set, the platinum polished, and the diamond set. I should have pictures of it for you on Wednesday or Thursday, and hand shots very soon after that

My diamond broker and I imported the stone, and it was set in a custom setting put together by a platinum artisan in Toronto. His name is Anto Hadjinian, and all of his work that I've seen has been phenominal. He will be making my FI a matching eternity band as her wedding ring.
