DSS cured. 2.28 OEC in CVB "Casablanca" halo..

[soxfan]

My last reset! Kept waffling over a 3 carat or just resetting this stone in a halo. I had a .93 in this same setting and decided to sell that setting (kept the .93 OEC- project in the works) and just go for the BIG one. SO glad I did. She's GORGEOUS!!!
Needless to say, I no longer have DSS.

That's a door knocker soxfan! So glad you've beaten back DSS! Beautiful!!

 

[alene]

Beautiful! Should cure DSS at least for a while!

 

[imitcan]

That's a beauty! Well done.

 

[SandyK]

beautiful beautiful! I am starting to think that DSS can never truly be cured but you've got killer finger coverage and it looks perfect on you!

Absolutely gorgeous!! Both the setting and the stone are perfect! Remind me what size your finger is please? Will you wear a band with it?

A 4.5. I get my rings sized to 4.75, to account for swelling.

Woah, it's gorgeous!!

Love, love, love!!! I have been waiting for this one! It shows me what mine would look like as I really love that CVB setting, too! I think you really made the right decision! A great setting compliments the stone and gives the extra size as a bonus! Beautiful!

Hubba hubba! What a wonderful and detailed setting. So is this the one ring to rule them all? Enjoy it! More pictures please!

Ooo I love it. Thanks for posting! I especially love the grooved band - drool!

 

[Calliecake]

WOW!!!! It's beautiful Soxfan.

Yep - no way you need to be worrying about DSS with that setting! It's gorgeous and goes so well with the two-tone band.

What colour is your stone by the way? It looks amazingly white in the hand shots and it thought it was a lower colour, or am I thinking of your beautiful pear?

Thank you! It's an L color. Very white, even from the side. I don't know what it is about the old cuts, they just show up so much whiter than a MRB. My Pear is a K with medium blue flor, so it faces up very white as well.

That is so gorgeous, soxfan! Congratulations on finding the perfect setting for your stone (and trust me, I appreciate what a trying process that can be!)! Enjoy every minute of wearing this beauty!!

Simply stunning!!

 

[BlingDreams]

Truly stunning. It looks just perfect on your finger!!

I am in love with this design, so much so that I'm toying with using aspects of it in the creation I'm working on with Caysie. Your photos made me extra excited about it!!

Another gorgeous piece for you Soxfan! Stunning diamond and setting. Your ring looks amazing on you. Please post a lot more pics.

LOVE this ring!!! It's stunning! The setting shows off your gorgeous diamond beautifully! Fantastic finger coverage too. A reset into a vintage style halo cured my DSS too - wishing you health and happiness as you wear and enjoy your ring Soxfan!

 

[dazzlerazzle]

I LOVE the Casablanca!!! Your stone looks right at home - this is the perfect vintage-inspired halo for OEC's! Are you just giddy over her?!?

 

[msop04]

Love it!! Congrats, sox!

 

[foxinsox]

Oh my what a gorgeous beautiful lovely ring! Definitely a fabulous cure for DSS

 

[Octo2005]

Looks amazing! Love the mixed metals and amazing finger coverage.

 

[misslili]

Stunning!!

 

[soxfan]

Ok, talk me down. It's not TOO big is it?

 

[junebug17]

I don't think it looks too big! Mine felt big at first, and after wearing it a while it felt like a normal size to me. Give it some time, I'm thinking you'll get used to it.

 

[ringbling17]

It's beautiful!!!

It's beautiful. I love that setting!
