10 year wedding anniversary upgrade. Do you like her?

It's nice! Is this for you or your wife?
 
Very nice stone! It has sold though, hope you are the buyer!
 
That's lovely, not over fussy, but with interest on the band.
 
Nice stone...you ok with the K color? Have you seen an AGS/GIA K?

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe the Halo setting will help with that?

The video of the setting appears to have his actual stone in it (at least, when I looked at it it said it was shown with a recently purchased K VS2, so I'm assuming it was his stone). www.jamesallen.com/mobile/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-pave-halo-cabled-diamond-engagement-ring-item-17894

OP, it's a beautiful diamond but does show quite a bit of yellow/warmth compared to the halo. Are you okay with that? Some people are and some aren't; I think we just want you to be aware of it and know for sure what you're buying!

I'm great with K. My current stone is an X factor cut by Whiteflash, also a K.

It doesn't bother me at all that the mele is a higher color. I think it's lovely together. I plan on at some point getting a delicate mele band from jad or erd. The K I already have kinda does a chameleon act depending on the lighting. Sometimes, it looks really white. Other times, it's a warm yellow and puts out lots of fire. I am anxious, and can't wait to meet her in person!!
 
It's for me. I'm the wife! Lol
 
Congrats on the stone. Looks well cut. K colours can be a bit of hit and miss and some love the warmth while others run straight to the more colourless stones. Some are up closer to the near J end of the range while others look more like L's. My wife and I love her K Brian Gavin Blue stone which leans more towards the J end.
 
The one I picked doesn't have fluorescence, so I'm pretty sure that in most situations it's going to have what my husband and I call, "the tinge". Especially since I picked a setting with higher colored mele as a halo. I did debate doing it because others tell you not to, but decided to go for it because I loved it. The setting was only 800 in platinum. If it's truly hideous, it doesn't have to be the permanent setting. My original idea was for a platinum setting, a classic Tiffany replica. I decided to do the halo because my current ring is set in a plain, 4 prong white gold mount. A lot of people are also setting warm colors with rose or yellow gold. At this time, nothing really sparked my eye, but I'm not ruling out that I may reset in the future.
 
It's going to look great! Is it a size upgrade? I love warmer stones. I don't think "tinge," I think of ivory, antique lace, or vanilla. Post pics when you get her.

Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary!!
 
Post pics when it's finished I'd love to see it!!!
 
Thanks everyone! I'll post pics as soon as possible when she gets here!

Yes, it's a size upgrade. My original stone is basically a radiant cut. Carat size 0.925 K in color. It's cut a little steep, so face up it appears smaller. My husband and I both are very excited. I have tried to educate him a little throughout the years. I swooned over the 1.74 CT. O IF stone that a lot of people were taking about years ago on here. I'm pretty sure that it went for about 8 grand either through cbi or gog. If we would have had the funds then, I wouldn't have been looking now. I am glad now that I waited. I think that I'll be plenty happy with what I picked out this time around. Always, more money, more options. I just hope that I don't think the stone is too big. Sometimes, I feel very indecisive about ring/diamond options.
