Hey Everyone, I've had my e-ring for a few months and thought it might be fun to post a SMTB thread, especially since I've taken way too many photos of it!

The stone and setting came from Adam at OWD. I took a long time to make a final decision and Adam was very patient and accommodating.

Stats:
Center Stone - GIA Cushion Brilliant, 2.98, J-VS2

(Also, I want to extend a shout-out to Chris at Brilliantly Engaged. Of all the vendors I visited, I spent the most time with Chris and Adam and they are both lovely to work with.)

Now some pictures! First up: a few from the awesome lighting at my office:

And a few from the awesome lighting in the park:

And some from the slightly more blah lighting at home. Have a great weekend, y'all!

Whoops, I think I just typed a whole reply and then deleted it - let me try again.

Thank you so much, everyone! You guys are too kind. I have an ever-growing file of "wish list" items that I save from Pricescope. Everyone's pieces are so beautiful.

LLJsmom - Thank you! The polish is "topless & barefoot," by Essie. I love a drugstore/home mani : )

TruLuv858 - Thanks so much! And that's awesome! I hope Adam is able to find you something great. I searched for about 4 months before deciding on a stone and I was antsy to get to the finish line so, I feel your pain.

Apacherose & Ariel144 - Thank you! And, details - you bet:
Dimensions: 9.11 x 8.86 x 5.62 mm*
Carat: 2.98*
Color: J
Clarity: VS2
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Good
Fluoro: None
Table: 57%
Depth: 63.4%
Girdle: Extremely Thin - Thin*
Culet: Very Large
*I had the girdle recut before setting the stone. It was a knife-edge in places and already chipped. The existing chips didn't bother me but they made me feel like, if it chipped before, it can chip again... So, unfortunately, the dimensions and carat weight from the cert won't be accurate anymore. (It's 2.98-ish, lol :P)

Adam said that it would only lose a few points and that his cutter is an expert so, for the amount of piece-of-mind it brought, the loss was worth it. The girdle has been thickened and the chips polished out.

Apacherose - Happy to take some profile shots for you!

Ariel144 - Video!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqZUuNmhCew
 
Absolutely stunning!
 
And here are some profile shots.

And one more for fun - this was taken on a clear sunny day. I think it's reflecting the sky in the center and buildings on the sides.
