Thank you! Sholdt was so lovely to work with, and I think they knocked it out of the park! :kiss2:
You have got to love the pavilion view when the sunlight hits; it just gives you a whole other way to appreciate the diamond.

Yes! The diamond glitters even from the side- the facets of the naked girdle reflect light and sparkle from every angle! I’ve never seen anything like it!

Correction- I just realized it’s the pavilion and crown facets that reflect those broad flashes of light from the sides :P2 Whatever it is, I love it!

:wavey:Hi Bonfire! The 2.98 has moved on- that was by far my most photogenic diamond. Over the years I’ve realized that my comfort level is right around 8mm max, otherwise I won’t wear it. I also prefer wonky stones with big culets and kozibe. This diamond is now my one and only :kiss2:

A beautiful *one and only* may I say! A killer stunning setting! Do you wear it alone or with a band? It needs zero embellishments imo! :love::wavey:

ksmom your ring is utterly amazing. I saw it on IG and it took my breath away, and now seeing your pics here I am just blown away all over again. It looks so incredible on you, and paired with your trinity! The gold is so lush, and the setting could not be more perfect for showing off the gold and your diamond in all their glory! Just gorgeous!!

@elle_chris I've got a question about your Sholdt-- it's been 10 years, and is your diamond still in this setting? I'd love to hear your perspective on this setting after wearing it for years! After looking for my style, I'm really liking the semi-bezel and would love your thoughts! I've checked out your thread and it was very helpful! I'd love to see any other pictures of you wearing or stacking it- Thanks for the update in advance!!

Yes, I still have the Sholdt and I still love it.
I don't have an recent pics, but the only thing I change out is the bands now and then. Right now when I wear it, it's generally with a very thin Cartier trinity and a half carat diamond band.
But like I said, I'm always changing bands.

I'm no longer into diamonds or jewelry as much as I once was. That's probably why I'm still so happy with the Sholdt as well.

Thanks so much @elle_chris! I'm a one ring girl, so whatever I get will be "it"! I'm not much into stacking and the setting looks so amazing with other rings!! I appreciate your time to reply! Enjoy your amazing ring!!

Bumping this thread - one of my favorites - to add my two Sholdt rings. One (the WG w/blue spinel) was posted earlier in this thread and was a custom mod of the semi-bezel when set with my then 1.4ct WF ES (upgraded diamond wouldn’t fit the setting); and another - a YG R607 - that I picked up preloved from another PSer to set my Umba red garnet (which looks way more delicious in this setting than pics capture & is always crimson/blood red in color). :love:

I may have another Sholdt to add before too long as I just love their aesthetic & sleek designs; hope others with Sholdt pieces will post theirs as well! :wavey:
