Hello fellow lovers of beauty,

I have been a long time dedicated lurker... we are talking about years and years. Recently I acquired my dream upgrade and have been keeping her to myself. My original engagement ring (1.1 ct princess cut) was beautiful but not my style. As the years went by, and after spending many, many hours on here admiring everyone’s treasures, I developed a good sense of what I love: timeless classic with old world charm. Earlier this summer, I was given the green light to start sourcing my stone. After speaking with different PS vendors, I ended up working with Adam and OWD. And here it is!

And for the details:
2.45ct K/VS1 with 51T/58.9D and faint flr set in a crown6 design from OWD with minor modifications
4.75 finger size

Honestly these pictures don’t do her justice. She is a fireball, and faces up a lot whiter than K. You guys weren’t kidding that diamonds are difficult to capture on camera!

WOW. What a stunner, you are right it's hard to capture the dynamic beauty and charm of an OEC but you've done a pretty darn good job! I love the yellow gold solitaire. We wouldn't mind more photos of your beauty ;)2.

Absolutely gorgeous, and I do think OWD Crown setting is a great compliment to your OEC.

As a recent convert myself, I totally agree about how difficult it is to capture the true beauty of an OEC. They really have to be seen IRL to appreciate them. It’s a great size and looks fantastic on you.
