Hi AudiLover, movie zombie, nowicanseethemoon and lorrissey. Thank you for your kind words!

nowicanseethemoon, I am looking forward to seeing your bezel setting for your O/P OEC. I know it will be stunning!

 

[iluvshinythings]

Wow! That is stunning. I love the OEC and I've never seen a setting like that. It's so unique and beautiful. I love the band you paired it with too.

 

[ManhattanLawyer]

That stone and setting are absolutely stunning!

Hi tyty and thank you for your compliment!

Hi diamondseeker! I have a 30X loupe and a large stamp collector magnifier (not sure what power it is), that I used to inspect my ring. And I have REALLY looked it over too; and in different lighting. And I also had my daughter look at it as I think she is even more of a perfectionist than I am. We could not see any imperfections/issues at all. In a previous thread, I asked a PS'er what she looks for/observes in sub-par pave work; as I wanted to be sure I was evaluating my ring to the fullest. We still saw only excellent workmanship. And what I was REALLY impressed about, was that the interior of this setting was polished and finished off as well. (I had another jeweler set my stone, so I had the opportunity to inspect the setting first). A Tacori ring that I used to have was not finished in the interior of the setting and to me this spoke volumes! So, I can not find anything that I would change about this setting and I am thrilled with it!

Excellent!!! I love that the inside was polished! This person may have some customers waiting in line for him!

And they won't be disappointed!

Thank you, iluvshinythings and ManhattanLawyer! Your comments are so very nice and as I read them all, the worrying that went on when creating this ring to finish is starting to fade. Many thanks everyone!

 

[Scarlett1]

This ring is just amazing. I absolutely love it. It's stunning

 

[Enerchi]

No words.....!!!!

Your diamond and your setting are a match made in heaven!! Both were destined to be together - its kismet, that setting!!! GORGEOUS!!! Just STUNNING!!

(ok, apparently, I *did* find words!! haha!)


WOW - kathley that was well worth the wait and searching out an alternative to 23st and Singlestone!! And... in the event your daughter decides she's not a diamond girl when she grows up... I'm available for adoption!!!! Just sayin'!!

 

[kathley]

Thank you, Scarlett for such a nice compliment!

Hi Enerchi! I had to chuckle about your absolutely cute smiley. How do you add those to a post as I tried and I never am successful?
You ALWAYS have the nicest, most positive comments and I thank you for yours on my diamond and ring! It took me a long time to find my perfect diamond and a journey to finally have my setting made; but I am so much happier with this period setting for my stone. And it really makes me feel confident with my choices when I read comments from not only "experienced" PS'ers like you, but the others as well.

Quite honestly, if it were not for Pricescope and the wealth of knowledge that everyone offers, I never would have my OEC diamond or my setting today! So, MANY thanks to everyone on this wonderful site! (I could use a group hugs emoticon posted right here now, LOL).

And as far as my daughter goes, if you can imagine this, she is an even BIGGER diamond enthusiast than me and she can't wait until she can post here too! I guess that she would then be a PS legacy?

 

[Enerchi]

From us to you and back again!!! Here's a giant PS group hug for ya!!

Rats, looks like I won't be inheriting it after all ... just tell me I was *THIS* close to being adopted, ok??

 

[pandabee]

It's gorgeous!!! Reminds me a bit of bastetcat's ring, but yours is gorgeous on its own of course!!! So nice and white

Oh Enerchi, I love the group hugs!!! Thank you! And, after carefully thinking this through, you were "THIS" close to being adopted!

 

[Enerchi]

Woo hoo!! You are my very FAVOURITE "soon to be my next mom".

Thank you, pandabee! I love bastetcat's ring and whenever I see it, I stop and just look at it in awe. So your nice comment is really special!

 

[kathley]

Woo hoo!! You are my very FAVOURITE "soon to be my next mom".

 

[Kelli]

Oh my. I could not possibly be more jealous! Love everything about it!!

Thank you, Kelli!

It turned out gloriously! I LOVE that settting!!!!

Hi bastetcat and thank you for your compliment! I love your ring with the VanC band, and I have to tell you, that is the reason why I chose my floral engraved band to go with my ring. Just really love that look!

 

[junebug17]

Hi Junebug! LOL, I think I could "feel" you waiting for me to post my ring![quote/]

Hehe - yes, you were definitely picking up my vibes! I was on the verge of bugging you several times but I'm so proud I was able to restrain myself!

Thank you for your nice words about my ring kathley...I feel exactly the same way about yours!!! I keep going back and looking at your pics, it's just so beautiful, and looks perfect on you. We made the right call in going with vintage style settings for our OEC's - this style really does seem to go with our stones so much better, and really highlights those facets.

And I totally understand about holding off on naming the maker of your ring, makes perfect sense - I hope he's up and running soon!

This may be a silly question, but how do you favorite an image? I figured out how to save topic as a bookmark, but not how to favorite something...

Right click on the image and save it to your computer in your inspiration folder. (I am on a Mac and can't remember anymore if it's different on a PC).
