Thank you mama_monkey and hippi_pixi! I am so pleased that she is actually mine!
Hippi_pixi, I am looking forward to seeing pics of your new diamond (when you find it), and of your US adventure!
I just got a plain platinum band to wear with her (I am still looking for the perfect engraved band). It was an eBay find, so I need to get it polished. It has built up quite a patina over time, and currently does not match the polish on Belle's mounting.
I haven't checked this thread in a while, so I didn't realize there were some new replies. Thank you lovesvintage, ming, Andelain, Michelez, CRYSTAL24K, and derbygal!
I am still loving my lovely Belle, and in fact she has a new playmate Since this picture was taken I had the diamond and sapphire halo sized to fit as a right hand ring.
