1.25 RB Solitaire

[chiquitapet]

Hi everybody!!

I have received my beautiful upgrade from Melbourne Diamond Exchange just a few days ago for our 5th year wedding anniversary. It was many months in making but it was worth the wait. I would like to thank Annie from MDX who was so patient and kind as always, and our local jeweler Marion who did a wonderful job with the setting.

I upgraded from 0.78 D VS2 princess to 1.25 G VS2 GIA ICE round brilliant (HCA 1: Ex/Ex/Ex/Ex). The setting is 18kt WG classic Tiffany inspired solitaire. The ring has totally exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with it!! The sparkle of a well cut RB is just amazing! I find it quite difficult to concentrate while driving...

My little 13 year old sister got out her new camera today and we went on a big shoot. We had lots of fun and here are a few selected photos. Thanks for looking!

My little sis getting artistic with the fence. I thought that was a brilliant idea...

I told DS pricescopers require a flowershot... She even found a ladybug to pose for us

Another handshot.

She even whipped out her camera at the supermarket. I almost started to think she`s more obsessed than me!

Beautiful! I''m curious: What dimensions does it have? I''ve never plugged in and that got all EX on the HCA.

This is the last one for now. Thanks for looking everyone!

Hi HVVS! Thank You! The dimensions are 7.06*7.01*4.2.

I went through lots of stones before I got all 4 excellents (unfortunately I`m a slight perfectionist

).
