0.95 L August Vintage Cushion in custom palladium setting

[mmi]

Hey everyone! I can't believe I am finally posting here! I've been on this site since 2008 waiting for the day I could post in SMTB! SO and I are finally engaged. He proposed on Friday June 8th as I was making us some coffee, haha! Sneaky. Anyway...

The diamond was bought on Valentine's Day this year from GOG. It is a 0.95ct L VS1 AVC (link:http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9027/) It is a FIREBALL. Sparkles like mad in every kind of lighting. I am a GOG customer for life.

We did a custom setting with our local jeweler and chose palladium. It has been a great choice! We were going for kind of an "heirloom" look for the ring, while on a budget, and it is very special to both of us. We're very happy to be engaged!

Time for pics! I used my 7 year old Canon Powershot. Hand shots are all but impossible, but I think they turned out well overall.

Thank you for looking!

Awww Congratulations stone and setting is beautiful! Ive ordered a 0.97 M AVC which is being set at the moment, so similar size/colour and I have put it in a platinum halo and was worried about the size and colour but seeing yours Im soo encouraged, if mine turns out anywhere near as nice as yours Ill be delighted, wear it in good health

I love the width of the band and the milgrain is perfect! Great designing job.
The setting is perfect for an AVC. Congratulations!
