Hi Psers :wavey:

About a year & half ago I decided I would like an upgraded ering and wedding band. We were married 15 yrs ago and I wore a plain two tone 5mm band with a small princess diamond everyday since our wedding. My engagement ring was a .42ct marquise with channel set baguettes which I wore on & off as a right hand ring. I still wear the ering in rotation with my other right hand rings. I'm very sentimental about it.

Over the last few years I've put on a few pounds and my wedding band was stuck on my finger. I tried every possible trick I could find and could not remove it :-o So on a Sunday morning DH & I went to the local fire department, rang the bell and asked them to cut my ring off :lol: The guys were very cool about it & my finger was free to go bling shopping :D

So I knew I wanted an emerald cut diamond, stumbled upon PS & spent countless hours on here admiring everyones beautiful jewels.
I decided I wanted a blingy band and solitaire ering. I saved a couple hundred pictures of rings for inspiration. I became an Addict!!!

Back in June while window shopping I found a ec band & fell in love. I purchased it as my wedding band replacement and have been wearing it for a couple of months. One ring down, one to go :naughty:
One Sunday morning I was flipping thru the EC's on James Allen when I came across a stone with a very interesting(to me anyway)cut. It was an almost square EC & since I was really in love with both asschers & ec's I decided to request an ASET.
The ASET was amazing so with the encouragement of PS pro's I purchased it. Gotta give a shout-out here to the staff at James Allen, they were wonderful to work with!
I entertained many setting styles and tried on lots of rings at local jewelers. I am now most likely banned for life at all of them :(sad . Then I tried on the Sholdt semi-bezel! The angels started singing, my eyes teared up & DH agreed it was The One :lickout:

I'm waiting for UPS right now but Julian at Pearlmans sent me these pictures Tuesday so without further ado here are the preview pics.

I was supposed to be on vacation this week in NYC but was very ill with an ongoing intestinal problem & have been on strong antibiodtics and anti-nausea meds for two weeks. I landed in the hospital two weeks ago so DH & I made the decision to cancel our trip. Some days I can't eat so I'm very run down right down. My ring arriving now is the perfect pick me up! Now I'm off to read the How to take good pictures thread :)

It's here!!! I love it :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Pictures do not do it justice, the workmanship on this ring is incredible! The bezel is so delicate & wraps around the edge of the stone perfectly. The gold has such an incredible sheen to it and Sholdt altered the dimensions slightly to make it sit properly with my band.
I can't believe how large my stone looks (it's 1.11ct) and how white! Not sure if it's due to the WG metal reflecting back through the bottom of the diamond but you would never guess its a K. The ec's in my band are G-H and the ering matches up amazing well. Just additional proof that a well cut diamond will look bright & beautiful even in a lower color.
Here are some pics!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!

As someone who doesn't usually like bezel rings, this one is seriously perfect! It definitely changed my mind about bezels. Congrats and enjoy your beautiful new ring!

Wow! :love:
Beautiful ring! Great set! It does look so very white even next to your band, nice one!

I'm sorry you were so sick. I hope you are on the mend and you get to take your trip after all.
Bling is the best pick me up though. :D

A couple more that show the profile. I love that the entire side of the diamond shows. Sholdt slightly raised the height of the diamond so that even with my band you could see the entire diamond down to the bottom.

I can't say enough about working the Pearlmans! Julian was my contact through-out the entire process of getting this ring made.
They offered the best price of the vendors I requested quotes from.He was very helpful and made me feel extremely comfortable making this purchase over the internet. The setting did get altered a bit from the regular height and all of that was handled without a hitch. I had the ring engraved inside with our wedding date, first names and Happy Wife, Happy Life.

I tried to upload pics of the Pearlmans Ring box & the ring in the box but they are stuck in space somewhere between my smartphone and my email. I will try again later. Hope I didn't commit picture overkill :cheeky:

Thanks for lookin' everyone :D

A gorgeous set - in your case, due dilligence with research certainly paid off. It has a lovely clean look. I'd watch those skeletons though, they look like they want to get their mits on them. I do hope the intestinal problem can be brought under control.

I LOVE your set. So pretty. Hope you are feeling better. Can't believe your ring wouldn't come off your finger. That would have driven me crazy (I like them loose!). Congrats on such a lovely set.

A couple more pics. Hope I'm not overdoing it but when I was considering this setting I couldn't find even one picture anywhere on the internet with an ec or asscher in this setting so if anyone else is going crazy looking for the same they can visit this thread :)




I think I'm done now :))
