A few years ago we had a new setting made for my engagement diamond as well as a new wedding band. Both done by Mark Morrell. Which has left my original set (also done by Mark) sitting lonely in my jewelry case.

As luck would have it I was browsing Ritani and found a lab diamond with almost the same dimensions as my engagement diamond. I plan to have it set in my original setting so I can once again enjoy it.

It’s a much lower color and clarity than my mined diamond but I enjoy lower colored stones. My mined diamond is 1.34 G VVS1.

I will update when the diamond arrives tomorrow!

I am! While I love my new setting, the original one is still gorgeous and now I can have two wedding sets without spending a ton of money on a diamond

I had the stone set and I’m so so happy to be able to wear this beautiful setting once again. The stone is a sparkler too. I’m quite pleased with it. It does have a visible feather inclusion that I can see only in bright sunlight but it doesn’t bother me because I can’t see it otherwise and the sparkles keep it well hidden even in the sun. And the price couldn’t be beat. I think it was fate that I came across this stone that had almost exactly the same measurements as the stone that used to be in this setting. It was custom made for that stone so it was perfect that the setting did not need any adjustments to accommodate this new diamond.
