3.321 ACA in Stuller Crown Setting

[ringbling17]

Hi everyone!
I figured I would start a thread for those of you that have been following my upgrade journey.
So, I recently upgraded to a 3.54 J VS2 A Cut Above but the tint on the diamond from the side really bothered me. I decided to go a little smaller but go up in color to an I. I'm so glad I did.
This is a 3.321 I VS2 ACA. It's the perfect cut, size, color and clarity for me. I do see tint from the sides at times but nothing like the J I returned.
As for the setting, I had a hard time deciding what to get so I decided to get a temporary Stuller Crown setting for now in 18kt. white gold. It was a very affordable solution and allows me to take my time deciding on a permanent setting. But in all honesty, there's really nothing about this setting I would change except maybe doing rose gold on the shank and possibly eight prongs.
I absolutely love it. It has a larger donut which I thought I wouldn't like at first, but I love that you can see my whole wedding band and it helps to make the diamond sit low. I love the way Whiteflash did the prongs as well. Perfect soft claw prongs.
Without further ado, here she is.

That actually is one of my favorite settings, too! It looks great and I love the specs of the stone, too!

Beautiful Kayla! I love ACAs stones! I have seen that setting a few times on PS and I love it! Matter of fact at one time I was going to put
my 1 carat OEC in that setting but decided to make it a pendant instead. The setting has beautiful details like a much more expensive setting.
Congrats on your lovely upgrade!

More pictures! The first two pictures were taken at dusk. I love how bright she looks! The last picture was taken right when I opened the box in the car at the Fed Ex station.

And pictures of the Stuller setting. For those of you interested in a setting that sits low, is 6 prongs and extremely affordable, this is it!
It starts around $500 in 14 kt white gold but has a lot more detail than the typical 6 prong settings and you can get it in platinum, palladium, etc.
I had WF add tiny ruby melee to the inside of the shank.

And as a big surprise, she has negigible flourescence but when I put my UV flashlight on her, she glows blue!

Thanks DS! You have been great this whole time putting up with all of my indecisions! I appreciate it tremendously!

Thanks! I did the same thing. I couldn't decide what to do with my .90 OEC so finally just had it set into a pendant instead.
I feel like this setting is almost like a poor man's Margot!

Thank you!

She's a beauty and looks so great on you!!! So have you decided to definitely keep her? That setting is truly a bargain and I really love the detail. It's awesome to have so many options to stack with, too!

I haven't decided! I love everything about her TBH and I love that she has flourescence too.
I'm definitely not is a rush to trade her in.
But I can see myself trading her in for a better VS2 clarity or maybe even VS1.
The setting is truly amazing for the price.

I love that setting too!! It's perfect! Your stone is gorgeous and all of your diamond bands look amazing with it! May I ask where you got your spacer?

Thanks! I got the spacer band on Etsy from
Tinysparklestudio.
I also bought the same spacer in white gold.

What a gorgeous stone and setting! Whiteflash ACAs are amazing and I am glad you found just the right one for you. It looks huge on your hand, too... what is your finger size? (Sorry if I missed this detail earlier!) I love your ring with each of your bands as well! Bravo!!

Thanks carbonfan! I love your ACA as well!
I'm a size 5.25 to 5.5. Usually I get eternities in 5.75. I have big knuckles and I don't want to have to resize eternity bands bc it would be a pain to do. Plus I get to wear them on my right hand as well.
This setting is 5.25. The shank is thin. About 1.8 mm.
