i was honestly thinking about returning the ring due to the visible inclusion. prior to purchase, i was assured it was eye-clean. clearly our definitions of eye-clean were not the same.
however, after showing the ring to many people who all swear to me that they can''t see the snow-ball hiding in there, and after wearing it for several days, i''ve totally fallen in love with it! so fo-getta-bout-it i will!
What a great ring! I can''t see the inclusion in the photos--all I see is disco-ball sparkle and a beautifully-set, unique stone. It looks so big on your hand! I have a 2.1ct as well, and I don''t think mine has nearly the presence of yours.
The passion flower cut is really interesting--is it a proprietary cut? (Sorry if you''ve already answered that question.) It looks absolutely beautiful.
kittybean- thank you so much! i wanted an emerald cut as my original engagement ring...i was so sad when it looked awful on my hands. i love your ring - it''s so beautful and elegant! and i have to disagree; you''re ring has incredible presence!!!
to my knowledge, this cut is not currently patented.
