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

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

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!

Oh it’s just lovely on your hand:kiss2::kiss2: 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!

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

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!
