Some of you have been very generous in time and spirit to respond to my posts this last year... I have had the same ring since our engagement back in 1999. I wore it 24/7 and eventually the platinum prongs began to show wear and it was recommended I replace the head. I began taking the ring off for sleeping, showers, dishes, etc. and babied it. I had the prongs tightened twice and DH and I decided instead of replacing the head, we'd do an entire reset for our October anniversary. On the Saturday before Father's Day, I was browsing ideas for the reset and as I was imagining "Hmm... a bezel with miligrain... how would my oval look in that?" And I looked down at my hand and the oval was GONE! A black hole. I couldn't believe it happened to *me*. Well, the hunt was on. My 10-year-old daughter found it within ten minutes near the baseboard on our cream tile floor. She was the hero! I put it in a sad little ziplock bag in my jewelry box, placed in the grading card for a little added dignity! I hemmed and hawed about tons of different settings (even entertained going the custom route with a SS-inspired leaf design), but DH and I ultimately liked the look of a thin pave band. I have always loved VC's Evelyn with that graceful arch up to the stone.
I decided to stay with the oval and not "trade up" (although our jeweler does have a generous trade-in policy). DH is sentimentally attached to the oval, and I have to say I do like how that shape looks on my finger! It feels great to have her back at home where she belongs.
So here it is! I don't have the appraisal yet, it is coming this week. I will add that info when I get it.
1.006

F color
ex/ex
Measurements: 7.69 x 5.65 x 3.42 mm
size 7.75 (larger than my finger size, since it will be worn at the top of the stack... also nice because then I can wear it on my right hand if I'd like!).
I have been playing around with my stack, and I'm not sure how I will ultimately wear it... but it sure is fun experimenting!
Lots of pics to come
