#JOTW A new sun in orbit! 3.5 S-T SI1 old mine cut from Old World Diamonds

[Kim N]

She looks gorgeous in her new mount! I love the prongs. Only a few more days until she's back on your hand!

 

[MamaBear]

HUBBA!!! She’s delicious! How exciting!!!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Can't wait to see hand shots - looks amazing!!

 

[Cerulean]

Honestly it’s just perfect. Always hard to capture in photos - but Caysie just did a wonderful job. Easy process start to finish. The details, its delicacy - but also substantial shank (3mm at the widest) The milgrain…everything about it!

The prongs really open up the stone - it’s more fiery, and “glows” versus contrasty pattern. This is what I expected. I just love how soft and feminine it feels

 

[Lookinagain]

Just plain gorgeous! Wear it in good health. I'm sure you are staring at it all day!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Just beautiful! I love the basket and the pinched shank near the head. Great light is a diamond’s best friend! Is that your 3mm Tiffany band paired with it? Stunning pairing!

It’s a 3.5mm Cartier band! I never bought the Tiffany’s actually - I got this instead so my husband and I could have matching bands!

A dreamy pastel combo…

Oh it’s just lovely on your hand I know what you mean about noticing a difference in the light play. I think the “glow“ is enhancing the already delicate and feminine feel of the setting. Happy anniversary and wear this beauty in good health!

Perfection!

This is perfection!!

 

[JV36912]

Oh gosh I loved this ring before but it's even more beautiful now. What a wonderful rest! Enjoy this beauty!!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Wow, that is just perfection. Your nails look great too! Love the whole look

 

[empliau]

That is utterly....okay, no adjective is adequate. I don't even love diamonds (much) and I am blown away. Let me just leave it at utterly.

Beautiful and wear it in good health.

Wow, absolutely beautiful!! Do you find that you miss any of the real estate from the bezel? I have a halo now and plan to upgrade to a larger stone, sort of feel like I’ve outgrown the blingy, Diamond encrusted halo and longing for just one huge Solitaire! This ring is a piece of art, enjoy it!!! Something about such a classic look

It’s a beautiful diamond in its full glory because of the setting simplicity. The intricate basket adds a beautiful touch. Congratulations on an elegant and timeless ring!

So, I thought I’d miss the size of the bezel - but honestly, I think this looks visually almost the same. I think the 8 prongs give a halo effect, it’s set a little higher (donut underneath the stone), and then the shank is reverse tapered. All of those design elements combined, give it more visual oomph.

So, I think as you look to a solitaire - those slight tweaks can basically create an optical illusion and really enhance the size of the stone!

Oh wow, what a gorgeous setting @Cerulean! Your beautiful diamond looks perfect in it and it looks amazing on your hand. It really turned out beautifully, enjoy it!

 

[Kim N]

Wow, I adore how she looks on your hand! The band options are all so lovely. You have such a beautiful manicure too!

Late to this thread. Love your lemony stone set in the Dahlia setting. I think it makes your pillowy crown even look higher which is just dreamy! I'm thinking from your pictures, that the Dahlia setting also helps your diamond's performance. Do you notice a difference in performance? You've made some awesome choices. And thanks for allowing us PSr's to OD on your videos and pics!

Aww thank you! It definitely helped the stone’s performance oddly enough. I’d say the fact that it’s a bit higher set, let’s light in through the girdle, and the placement of the prongs…all make the stone really sing. It seems more fiery actually. I’m learning that each old cut is so unique, I’m so glad I took the plunge on the reset.

I love it in it's new mounting congrats! I am currently starting to look for another old cut and was looking at some already in settings that I may immediately want to reset, glad I am not the only one. I think it looks great what you did with it!
