Finally have a contribution…My Danhov ring!

[TiffanyBlue]

My search for a LGD didn’t begin too long ago, but I started with Lightbox diamonds. After ordering two different 2ct stones with “meh” cuts, I turned to Frank Darling for my choice, a 2.28ct G VS2 with IGI “ideal” proportions.

I found the setting on the Danhov site from the Norme are Danhov collection. It’s 900 plat, and I had the prongs turned to match the standard 12&6 orientation and after much back and forth with customer service, it’s finally here!

Pics don’t do it justice! The photo outside is reflecting all the trees in our backyard. I don’t see any tiny in this thing! I am in love!

A couple more shots! I wish I could capture the beauty of this thing! I didn’t think the hidden halo would be so large, I was expecting more of a diamond collar, but I adore it!

Stunning! I like the prong orientation, and your diamond is a sparkle bomb. <3 Thank you for sharing pictures so we can drool with you.

Sorry, just a couple more photos to compare size and color next to my original e-ring, a 7mm F1 colorless Moissanite.

Gorgeous upgrade!
Which do you prefer now that you've had both a LGD and the Moissanite. Would you humour me with a side by side video?

@emmy12 I took a couple of videos this morning but will have to set up a video link to share. Stand by!

ETA: here is a link to my first ever YouTube video. Hope it works!

Since this is my first size-able diamond, I actually spend a good bit of time comparing the two in all sorts of lighting.

Apparently I had really gotten used to the amount of sparkle in the moissy so sometimes I miss that in my diamond. But I think that amount of bling in a 8.4mm stone would be a lot for me, so then I appreciate the more subtle, refined sparkle of the diamond.

Now that I have the diamond mounted, I can tell you that when I bought this one from Fred Darling, it was by far the least expensive one in their inventory. Having just returned a Lightbox diamond, I was really looking to find a good price but after I bought it I started worrying why the price was so low. I did end up getting out my 10x loupe and I can see a little bit of the stria in a couple of the arrows under the table which doesn’t cause any haziness or less sparkle, but I’m no expert. It looks crisp and clear to the naked eye.

In short, I love it to bits and can always switch back to my moissy when I want the smaller, more fiery look. It’s nice to have choices!

Both are gorgeous! Thanks for the comparison video and your take on the both. Your moissy looks really well cut and that setting is besutiful. Wear both in good health! always nice to have choices!
