Thank you nala! I knew it would be a long post so I am glad I waited until I had some time to really sit and do it right. :)

Thank you kindly tyty! I'm both alternately pleased and relieved to finally have made a good resolution!

OK, this is officially one of my favorite sets on PS!!! The stone is a massive fireball, the details of each ring are so romantic, and it's non-matchy yet *perfectly* complementary....I love that aesthetic! Congratulations on your beautiful outcome! Your patience has paid off in a big way!! :clap:

You are so kind KristyDarling! As soon as I put this all together, it felt like it had settled in and been there a long time, so I know it all worked out right in the end now. :)

Well done @bunnycat !! Out of all the jewels on PS, this Van Craeynest band is one of my all time favorites! I first discovered it on the stack of the day thread and after much investigating I found out it was Van Craeynest. I love it because it is unique, dainty, floral and perfect. I did read, however, that you had some trouble finding a ring setting that looked good with it. Well, your new ring is just absolutely perfect with it! The history, the halo, the floral design - it checks every box. :love: I think this is one of the most perfect and unique sets on PS. The diamond is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so very happy that you are wearing your Van C band again, and that it has a perfect partner. Enjoy!!

Thank you so much OdetteOdile! These two do indeed look really good together in a unique way! I'm not really a matchy kind of person, and they are different enough to each stand out to make me happy. :)

Oh this is so perfect!! I love your set

Thank you kindly foxinsox!

Now for some pics and stats!

This is a 2.42 GIA M SI1 measuring 8.19x8.49 Old Mine Brilliant. It took some research to find the creator of the ring- JYB Jewels. It is platinum and currently a size 5.5+ and I am a 6+ (but I still manage to cram it on my hands! :D ) I will need to get it sized at some point (but not just yet!!!)

I don't even know where to start with the pics....I have taken so many the last couple of days.

Some flower shots, and also with one of my favorite chiffon scarves called Ors Bleu D'Afrique. Wishing for some of that Blue Gold right now in the heat of summer.

Simply gorgeous! I had been eyeing that ring myself for a while because I absolutely loved the setting as well; I think we must have similar taste! So glad this went to a PS'er!
