Finally got the ring!

[SpldRotten]

So, my FI proposed on 7.7.07 with out a ring, because he was afraid that I''d hate what he would''ve picked out. Although initially, I was extremely excited to be part of the decision, it was very overwhelming and I could not wait to get the final product. So here are the specs:

center stone:
1.6 ct
H color
SI1 clarity
oval cut
vg polish
vg symmetry

halo:
.25 ct fancy yellow diamonds
band and sides:
.25 ct g-h diamonds

We just picked it up, and in the pix the stone looks yellow and the fancy yellow diamonds around it kind of just blend in. I don’t know if it is the lighting

... In any case, here are the pix I’ve got so far to give you guys an idea.

Fabulous ring, LOVE your nail color! Seriously, though that is a beautiful ring..congratulations on your engagement and best wishes!

Oh, how pretty! And it looks like a great size too!

Yes, try for outside shots, indoor house lighting rarely does anything for diamonds.

Congrats!!

Thank you ladies

!!!

Mrs Mitchell - it was custom made by an acquaintance of ours (a jeweler at the NYC diamond district). If you''re interested, I know he''s got a web site, I can get back to you with it.


I''ll post more pix tonight!!!

I love your ring with the yellow diamond halo. Please post more pictures. I will look beautiful in the outdoor light. In door lighting , as said, do not do diamonds justice.

[kcoursolle]

Wow, what a beautiful ring and setting. I love the fancy yellows around the stone. They really give it some personality. I also like the gallery of the halo, perfect!

I think it looks fabulous!!! I can definitely tell the difference between the halo and the center stone! I LOVE IT

You did a great job, and I really cant wait to see more pics (some in the sun I hope...) Wow, your halo is pretty much the opposite of mine!

Stunning!

 

[SpldRotten]

Here are some pix (I''ll try to get out tomorrow, if it''s sunny and take a few more).... These were taken last night (because I couldn''t stop looking at it

), so the lighting again *sigh* isn''t great....

 

[SpldRotten]

you can really see the downside to ovals here, the bowtie effect (which is not so prominent in person)

 

[SpldRotten]

this one was taken in the afternoon, with some sunlight
