Ummm... don't forget you talked me into needing an old MINER too, so we're not done here yet...
That is going to be a fun project! I'm ready when you are 
Just having a lazy Sunday and wondering if there’s an update on this! The suspense is killing me!
Sooo.... a while back I became obsessed with a K colored diamond that was posted on eBay and Instagram and it was internally flawless and I loved it… and it was a halo. But honestly I just can’t spend that much money on a piece of jewelry. I just have a limit of what i am willing to spend on any ONE piece. I'm not comfortable WEARING it when it's valuable. I wont even wear my watch becaue i feel like its too flashy.
Anyway, I decided to recreate it with a lab diamond. I mentioned this to @peppermintpatty and she was like "So, let me get this straight... you're a size 4.5, you're doing a 5 carat recut and you're going to put a halo around it??" And, I mean, honestly, i think she should have her pricescope membership revoked, that kind of negativity does not belong here.
However, i decided she might have a point...so i ordered one from Amazon that was 11mm 5 carat and it totally was fine.. or maybe i just don't like bending my knuckles, I mean do you really use your left hand that much??!!
So here is the fake CZ halo... i also bought one from etsy but I didnt like that one as much. Brilliant earth and james allen had sunburst halos too but I didnt like the side views on them.. someone once called it a "flying saucer halo" and it was a perfect description, i hate that look.
Now I realize this looks a lot like @missy's bubbalah, so i asked her if this was ok with her and she gave me her blessing. She's one cool chick, down to earth and just all around amazing giving person.
So, off to David Klass I went! I sent him the fake amazon one and he did his thing! I asked him to try to tuck the halo under the main diamond slightly because I asked Ashley for 5 carats exactly and NO BIGGER than 5.2 aaaand its 5.46 so i was worried about it running off my finger.
The problem is, that I got a brand spanking new iPhone 15 pro and the macro pics kinda suck. So, you get the idea, but the pics are a little fuzzy. My 12 pro was so much better.
The thing is, pictures cant capture it. It's like mirrors inside, it is the most perfectly cut diamond I have ever seen in person. I am obsessed, so far I have almost fallen down the stairs staring at it, almost crashed my car, totally not paying attention in meetings...
I cant explain how it looks so clear and then deep inside it's reflecting. It's just amazing, I love EVERYTHING about it. I am so incredibly happy, i cant sleep unless I put it on. I hope this passes soon... LOL!! I mean, i am so happy and so glad that I love it but i get nothing done!! Also, in all my years wearing an engagement ring, no one EVER commented on it, Never EVER. My cuff ring, all the time, my engagement ring, NEVER. This thing, I have had it 2 weeks and people constantly comment on it. I am so in love with it.
And thank goodness for @jaqjaqjaq because she is a voice of reason. Thats totally a lie, she's an enabler and I love her for it. She's the kind of friend that laughs at you when you say you're on ban island because she knows you're a big fat liar.
So, here it is, the ring I am finally happy with

@Inked thanks for sharing so many photos of your gorgeous ring! The colours that come off your OEC is incredible and you absolutely rock that finger coverage! And I really like the two tone gold, plus that perspective photo with your bracelet stack is simply *insert fire emoji*
I have so many questions haha! Just wondering what the total diameter of the ring is? Could you share a side pic too please? And, is your halo made of MRBs?
We all want sparkle!!! It would be boring if we all did the same thing I embrace your differences and love the journey almost as much as the result!
@Inked I think you are saying I stink at being a Bling Bestie...
You are telling the truth though, I wasn't too sure your finger could handle the diamond let along the halo!!! I can't even remember, was that stone originally a 6 carat? Yep, I definitely had concerns.
I am so thrilled I was wrong!!! You are so in love with your ring!!! How could you not be??? It is drop dead gorgeous!!! The pictures show it off in the best possible way.
Should we move on to the new jaw dropping bracelet?! Stunning, exquisite, fabulous, and spectacular!!! All of that and more! I do have to give a big shout out to David Klass!!! Anything you wanted done, he did it. Nailed it the first time too!!!
Now, to be fair, you looked at my setting I will be getting soon and said, isn't that a little plain? LOL!!! Yes, it definitely is! So before you have my membership revoked, that is the beauty of Pricescope, some want bling and all the bells and whistle's. That would be you! Some want simple or I prefer the word classic. That would be me!
I do think you and my dear friend @jaqjaqjaq find me in need of some va va voom
I get my fix living vicariously through you 2 lovely ladies!
Wow! That is one gorgeous ring!! It looks amazing and you wear it so well!
