Drove 4 hrs in snowstorm to pick up new ring!

[Farleysmom]

I got the call last night that my new 3-stone ring was ready. I was so excited and nervous that I drove 4 hours in a snow storm to pick it up. Sorry for the overload of pictures.

 

[Farleysmom]

More....

I was really nervous as the ring is very wide at 27.3mm. However, setting the stones higher made the ring comfortable. Whew!

Congrats.. wear it in good health and happy times!

Thanks you Rubies-R-Me. I'm trying to adjust to it's size. It really is larger than I anticipated.

Oh wow! Looks awesome on your finger. I think you'll adjust to the size by tomorrow

Btw, I would have totally made the 4h trip for bling like you did! That's why we're PSers, right

Thanks GemFever. Hopefully you are right. Many would think I was nuts to make the drive but I know PSers understand.

We definitely understand!!! Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their jewelry pick-ups!!!!

I love the design! So which diamond is in the center? And what size are the sides? Who made the setting? Details needed!

Oh I understand!!!! I am sure I would have too, it's a stunner!.....

Thanks diamondseeker. The center stone was in my previous halo. It is 2.5 ct. The sides I bought for earrings. I had them put in bezels but found them too heavy so I wasn't wearing them. They are 1.17 and 1.23 ctw K SI1. The ring was made in Toronto by John Akcan at Solid Gold, 21 Dundas St. I wish I could take better photos as the double claws are really yummy. John was a pleasure to work with.

Loves it!!!! I've never driven in the snow but I'd brave it for some blingaliciousness. It's beautiful on you. I'm thinking of a similar design for my MRB but with sapphire sides thank you for sharing!
