I love this SO much!!! Details on the width / style of the setting? I really want a tension set ring, and love this one!
This is Boone's Venus style setting. The top is 8.50mm wide same width as the stone. I asked Boone to taper the ring down to 7.5mm at the bottom.

:think:...Hmmm, from looking at the pics Boone may not have tapered the ring down to 7.5mm as I requested. The ring looks the same width from top to bottom.

@Dancing Fire that is such an awesome ring and such a beautiful diamond! Congratulations! I don't know how you had the patience to wait seven weeks. I also don't know how you had the grit to hold off of the 2.6 carat H that you were also considering.

Why isn't there a drooling emoticon??? :confused: That would be so perfect right now!

A very nice stone but at a hefty price to gain .30mm in diameter. If a 2.80-2.90ct pops up in the future I might go for it, b/c I would gain like .50mm.

I love how the setting gives the illusion offloating diamond yet the amazing diamond is the center of attention. So looking forward to the hand shots.

Hard to say about the taper - in some pics it looks like it didn't happen and yet in others looks like there could be a slight taper. Hopefully, either way it will be fine and you will like it. It is a beautiful ring DF - I really love it - congrats!!

You'll have to request a 'side-on' picture, so you can see if the top is wider than the bottom!

Did wink/bench set the stone for you in the Boone tension ring?

No, Wink sent the stone to Boone and then returned back to Wink after it was set. Everything was done within 3 business days.

DF, I love your pics. It's neat to see shots by a guy. Earthy, masculine. Love it! And that stone is of course, to die for. :appl:

@Dancing Fire niice!

Can you help me understand something? I have seeen H&A’s stones and now Cbi stones. I am not sure if I can see a difference. I am not a MRB person, so this is a little new to me. Sorry if this has been explained before and I am asking a silly question.

CBI = Cut by Infinity

It is the brand of H&A (which stands for a set of quality attributes) cut by a small-ish workshop with absurdly high standards WWW

I personally prefer the ring to be the same width all the way round.

I'll give you my opinion
after I get the chance to view the ring under different lighting conditions.
