So, being a Kentucky girl - when Alex at Park Group posted this cushion, I couldn’t pass.

It’s as pure as a single malt straight from the barrel as it could possibly be. It’s a 1 carat VS, nicely cut little cushion.

I am NOT a big halo fan, but I’m stepping out of my comfort zone here and having one made to ‘ramp’ the finger coverage up a bit.

The setting will be YG and a brushed finish - corn yellow,since corn is the largest by volume ingredient in bourbon besides water. Seems fitting.

Here are some CADs. Pretty basic setting but Alex’s simple settings are always possessing that special’ je n’est sais quoi’... they are elegant.

what a beautiful diamond! Gorgeous color! The contrast between the white melee and this stone is going to look so pretty.

I LOVE it!! Can’t wait to see. I’m a big fan of halo with colored diamond/gemstone. I have smaller, similar colored diamond in a ring of mine mom’s that in bank vault. You’re reminding me to get it and wear it!

I think it's really pretty. He has some very interesting stones lately! It's very bourbon like! Now, I'm thinking about the not often used bottle of Angels Envy in the closet.

Oh, stunning color! Absolutely my favorite color in colored diamonds. Perfection. And so good in a nice white halo......

Stunning! I regretfully traded in a ring that had almost the same aspect of your diamond and ring. The setting was white gold, haloed with VS diamonds and the prongs around the diamond were yellow gold. I really miss it!
