Oh, its so beautiful, BP!! I love it!! No worries about your other thread!!!:)

As far as keeping it clean, I recommend ultrasonic for the deep clean (or Jewel Jet) and for day to day, I like using a q-tip dipped in alcohol or an alcohol pad to clean the diamond. Just swab over the table and you'll be amazed at the difference it makes ( as you know I have an EC too, and am obsessed with keeping it clean). Its really important, especially for EC's (imo)....They don't look good at all when their dirty!!! Mark at ERD gave me this tip- and we all know he knows his diamonds!!!

So happy for you!!! Enjoy this special time!! It's so magical!!! :))

Yssie, thanks! im so happy with it, especially since the process to get to it felt so stressful at times :wacko:

Dani! thank you so much, ive admired your EC for so long, i really appreciate your advice :wavey: ill have to find an ultrasonic online, and in the meantime ill try alcohol...i honestly cant believe how quickly i got the thing dirty, i think its pretty much just soap scum, but im waaayy too hopeless to be taking this baby off and on :bigsmile:

Your ring is absolutely a gorgeous classic. The stones are white, crisp and beautiful. That's a "forever ring" if there ever was one! Congratulations!
