Hi All!

I started looking for my 25th Anniversary upgrade stone some time around year 24 1/2. Unfortunately, due to my inability to make snap decisions,
I missed out on several stones that would have been excellent choices. Hence, this has turned into my 26th Anniversary upgrade instead of the
typical 25th! Anyway, here she is!

A really bad video because my phone stinks...but, I think you can see how sparkly it is!
(Sorry about all the background noise...I didnt know how to get rid of it.)

Design thread:

Special Thanks to the ladies who helped me with the design, especially Dreamer_D, MissGotRocks, Rfisher, LookinAgain, and
everyone who commented on my design thread. Input from others is so valuable in the design phase and much appreciated!

Shout out to Brittany at Whiteflash, who stuck with me for the year and a half until I could find "the one"! As usual, Whiteflash
was a pleasure to do business with!

Edit...Probably should thank my DH for putting up with me for the last 26 years!:lol:
 
Well, it was worth the wait to get the diamonds and ring just right! It looks beautiful and I am very happy for you. Love the plain gold band paired with it - did DK make that to match? He really did a great job on your new ring!

Congratulations on 25 and 26 years! May you have many, many more years to celebrate!

PS - Goes without saying, of course, that we will take more pictures anytime!
 
Gorgeous and sparkly. The proportions suit your finger beautifully. Congrats on the anniversary.
 
So beautiful! You knocked it out of the park!
Congratulations on 26 years!
 
Congrats on your new beautiful ring and for your anniversary, I love the proportions of the ring on your finger it’s suits you beautifully!
 
Congrats! That is very pretty!
 
Perfect proportions on you & huge congratulations!
 
So gorgeous. The proportions are perfection. You can really appreciate the hand presence in that video! Are you enjoying it?

I have been thinking about revisiting my three stone in the future to increase the side stone sizes. Your ring is a real inspiration!
 
Happy anniversary and what a way to celebrate! Belated or not it was worth the wait. I look at so many long and loving relationships on PS and that's something I would strive towards! Jewels are just bonuses! But in saying that I love your three stone and I will have to add that to my list of projects for years ahead.
 
HI:

OH WELL DONE! Worth the wait! Congrats!!!

Thank you @MissGotRocks ! No, DK did not make the band. I got it from the Goodwill site many years ago. Does match pretty well, though!

Thank you @Tartansparkles, @springerspaniel, @Pumpkin Sparkles, and @Ally T !

I did a lot of research on proportions thanks to all the pics we have on SMTB. I even created a spreadsheet with different
people's 3 stone rings and their ratios. I have to say that already owning the .46 J/Si1 made it pretty easy to go with the 64%
ratio.

Congrats! That is very pretty!

Thank you @Scon_ce ! I think it's pretty too 8)

I am enjoying it @Dreamer_D ! It's so odd that before receiving it, I thought I would go through the "It's huge" phase, but I
don't feel that way at all! It just seems like the perfect size for me and my stage in life.

Happy to encourage you to go for bigger sides! I do love your setting though, and hope that it can be reworked with bigger sides!

Thank you @maryjane04 ! The 26 years went by so quickly. I wonder how we got here so fast!:eek2:
