Every year I get a combined present; birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, Hanukkah etc. all rolled into one. I wasn’t really searching for anything specific, but then Alex posted this amazing high dome, rose cut oval, and as you all know, if you don’t act quickly with Alex’s stones, they will be gone. So I bought it and knew I wanted to have Casey set it. I have always loved her Lumiere setting, and thought they would be a perfect match. So I had Alex send Casey the stone and she worked her magic, setting the stone and halo in platinum with a 18k yellow shank.

I have always loved really detailed settings, and have never had a solitaire. However, if I had seen this stone before sending it to Casey, I might have chosen a beveled solitaire. I have little hands and fingers, so this ring is a bit overwhelming on me, but thanks to DSS, it’s looking a little smaller every day. So in the future, I may have Casey remake it, although one of my favorite PS friends is adamant that a solitaire won’t be blingy enough for me, which may be true, as I do live for sparkle.
But this particular diamond is so prismatic! It reflects so many colors simultaneously, and I’ve never had a diamond that behaves this way, and I think it would probably be an amazing, very blingy solitaire. At the moment, however, being that it is a rose cut, I’m glad that it has a halo to protect it from my clumsy self.

My pictures are terrible, and my old lady hands even worse, so I linked Casey’s Instagram pictures too, so that you can see her in all her glory.

OMG it is a gorgeous stone and I absolutely love that CvB setting! It is gorgeous
 
This is the prettiest rose cut I’ve ever seen! It looks like it has more facets than a typical rose cut - just stunning!

I love the contrast with the halo too!

I’m dying for a video if you’d indulge us!
 
Saw this and wondered who might have commissioned it! I love the Lumiere and this is lovely @iluvcarats!
 
This deserves a video. That rose cut looks like it'll toss rainbows everywhere!
 
Exquisite :kiss2:

Thanks, @Cerulean ! It has a lot more facets and a high dome so it isn’t as transparent as most rose cuts are. I also like the contrast of the halo. I’d love to post a video, but PS isn’t letting me, and I don’t have a YouTube account. If you have other suggestions, lmk.

It’s pretty simple to create a YouTube account or use Vimeo! Otherwise PS won’t allow it.
 
Try Imgur or Vimeo
 
Omgoodness. It is so very lovely! What presence!! I could get behind a bezel but this really brings the oomph!! Enjoy and happy joyous occasions!!
 
Wow what an incredible rose cut! I would also like to join the huge queue that’s asking for a video please :D
 
I saw this on Alex’s IG and thought it was just spectacular. So glad it belongs to PSer! That high dome is just everything!!

Gorgeous-the setting is really perfect for the rosie!
 
I saw your ring and literally gasped. It's the perfect setting for a gorgeous diamond. Absolute perfection!
 
We definitely need a video. This is absolutely knock out!
 
WOW, what a beautiful stone and that setting is perfect for it!
 
Wow! What a beautiful rose cut! I too think she could easily stand on her own. She certainly is a star!
 
Gosh, that’s a stunning addition to your collection!!
 
This is an absolutely stunning ring :love: Caysie’s design sense and finish is just impeccable, every single time!!

Congratulations!! I love that scalloped halo. So feminine and so pretty paired with this stone ❤️
 
Of course this is yours. Of course.

Stunning, as always. And totally top shelf / no corners cut. Your jewelry box is like an education in meticulous craftsmanship and good taste.
 
Happy a PSer has this. Stunning ring.
 
Nope, not too big, not too blingy. It is PERFECT. This setting and stone were meant for each other!
 
This is the prettiest rose cut I have ever seen. It’s stunning!
