Flora, 5.62ct KVS1 OMB

Oh my god. Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor lol.

I am so happy for you!! I knew you and hubby would be in tears. What a beautiful beautiful dress for Flora. Your hard work paid off and this is a one of a kind diamond and ring! We could almost be twinsies haha Flora is baby K's little sister, the fairer and prettier one lol.
 
A couple videos…

Welcome Home Flora


She’s tucked in her case from David for tonight. I ordered a crystal Waterford ring holder from Poshmark (looking at Flora you wouldn’t think I’m a cheap penny pincher, but yea… it’s almost to a fault, lol) and a custom aquamarine color large clam shell velvet/silk case from Kitty Baxter. She’s going to dye the velvet and silk to match my bridesmaid dresses from 22 years ago :love:

Then Friday it’s mani/pedi and a trip to an antique jewelry store to look at some bands to see if she *needs* one. Then Saturday is her photoshoot❤️

I'm so so so so thrilled for you and can't wait to see your photoshoot!

Amazing! I’m so glad we bullied you into showing us pictures lol I hope you do find a matching wedding band. She does look nice alone, but I also think with a rock so large that a wedding band can offer a nice balance.

Can’t wait to see more pictures!
 
Thank you for posting pics! This ring is absolutely amazing! It's perfection on your hand...you must be over the moon. You're in for a wonderful weekend of playing with this beauty - have fun and take lots of pics!
 
I was going to post a gif from The Mask but it was too creepy.

This one seems appropriate...

This is before she fainted :lol:

OMG, absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, i love the setting so much!! Congratulations! I am sure it will be tough to concentrate and not stare all day!! Just beautiful, a lifetime of love and happiness and tears and joy and triumph in that forever diamond!!
 
She really is simply dreamy, @lavenderdragonfly23
I could stare at that crown all day. And the clean, delicate (but somehow still sturdy) lines of the setting are a perfect compliment. A masterpiece!! :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2:

PS, I can't wait to see Flora's glamour shots on DK's Insta!

Thank you!!! Saturday can’t come soon enough! I went to Walgreens today to pick out some polish and was extremely distracted by Flora :lol-2:

:lol-2::kiss2::lol-2::kiss2::lol-2::kiss2::lol-2:

My favorite part about your message was “so large”- lol! I’m still in the, “omg I really have a diamond!” mindset and then I look down and I’m like, “omg that’s right,it’s huge!” :lol-2:

Flora is my forever… it’s soooo weird to not be in a frantic search on IG every hour in case something incredible is listed so I don’t miss out … and I turned down an OT shift today! It’s been two years … omg I have a three day weekend!!! :dance:

I’ll make sure to take lots of pics when we go band shopping tomorrow!

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

There were several times today where I stepped out of the room while the doctor was doing my patients exam and was just watching Floras facets dance in the lighting :lol-2::kiss2:

She is truly my forever. It was so hard to keep my focus over the last year and not jump in random pretty rings listed on IG. Thank God I had some wonderful women to keep redirecting me and keeping me slowly inching towards Flora.
 
Gorgeous stone and ring!



The prongs are wonderful :love:

Thank you!!! ❤️

David did such an incredible job… the prongs are so romantic, it’s my favorite part of the setting … the setting is perfect. I still remember the day I was scrolling through 2k+ old cut diamond rings on Christie’s and Sotheby’s past actions, my eyes were crossing, I could barely focus… I was looking for something antique, something Edwardian/Belle Epoque… a setting that would allow me to *see* my stone. So many settings from that period have beautiful diamond encrusted metalwork… but you can only see the diamond from the top. The faceting in this stone was delicate, beautiful and I wanted to be able to see more than just her face. Scroll, scroll, scroll… I said I was going to bed 4 hours ago and here I am still scrolling… maybe I should just do a Tiffany 6 prong basic sett…. wait, omg… scroll back… and there she was. She was beautiful… and then I read about who owned her, the real Flora’s story and it became more about finding the perfect setting… but to remind the world of the incredible woman she was, and as a reminder to myself, that on hard days, that I am capable of more than I realize, and to keep pushing forward ❤️

I’m so happy you love her too! We’re over the moon with the stone and the setting. The stars happen to align for us with this ring and we are so blessed ❤️

Wow wow WOW! What a fabulous diamond and ring! I just love it and I can't wait to see more of Flora on Saturday!

Now I'm off to Google Kitty Baxter... Lol
 
Hi everyone, it’s Flora here. Just watching the sun rise this morning while mom works out and then I guess it’s off to see if I need a band. Would you believe I was a stick pin in my previous life? It’s every old diamonds dream to be adopted and spend the rest of their life resting in a solitaire setting. How did I get so lucky? I have lots of friends back were I’m from… I’ll give mom a couple months to enjoy me, but I’m sure I can convince her to adopt some of my best buddies too!

EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWZZZAA!!!!!! YAAAAYYYYY!!!!

Flora is beyond gorgeous!!!! I'm soooo happy for you and your husband!!!! What a dream come true! Love, love, love her facets, they are mesmerizing!

I adore the setting you had made too. It's simple and "clean" but not plain. It showcases the diamond perfectly. Yay! Congrats!!!! Wear in good health!!!
 
Flora is here! :kiss2:

My hubby came with to pick her up. We ripped open the package in the car, so forgive the parking lot photo session :lol-2:



She’s beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous.
I was crying. My husband was crying. And Flora was just busy dancing her sparkles all over the car.

The setting is *perfect*. It looks like an antique, it fits like a glove with a sliver of extra room so it’s not too snug yet doesn’t spin at all. It’s very comfortable. David did an amazing job… I can’t believe he pulled it off with just three photos. I asked him to stay as close to Flora Sassoon’s setting as possible, but being that my stone was more rounded then hers, to feel free to make any adjustments to compliment the shape/size of my stone. Other than a few other small requests (thank you my bling sisters who helped look over his initial rough cad before it was hand forged) that was all he had to go off of - and he nailed it!

She’s never coming off, lol! She fit perfect under a medium glove with lots of extra room, and a small glove on my right … I was super careful taking my gloves off so I think it should be just fine… it’s a little wonky having two size gloves, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, lol! :lol-2:

I’ve got another 10 hour shift tomorrow and I’m barely able to keep my eyes open, but I had to share the couple pictures I have of her!

Omg I’m super sick and just getting caught up. You’re crying, your husband’s crying, I’m crying, we’re all crying I’m sooooo happy for you. My husband just asking me why I’m crying and rolled his eyes when I told him it’s because a friend on pricescope just got a realy big diamond ring and I’m so happy.

Thank you!!! You have such an eye for stones and settings, I take this as a huge accomplishment ❤️
 
Oh my god this photoshoot is amazing and totally does Flora justice. I'm so happy for you to have your dream ring haha you're the envy of most of us now! Flora is just so beautiful and the setting is perfection. I know how distracting she can be lol eyes on the road now haha. Whenever life gets tough, you'll look at Flora and forget about all your troubles.

You’re making me cry…. Thank you!!! I’m so happy you love her too. This is all truly a dream come true, and to have so many on this forum love her is the icing on the cake. I feel so blessed to have an incredible hubby who remembered… and who listened to my hours of diamond chatter… it’s a very surreal feeling being the one with the pretty jewelry :kiss2:

Her offical photoshoot is tomorrow. This morning was a “practice run” lol… Today was see if she *needs* a band, which I honestly think she holds her own but I would love to have one lol… I have my eye on one! Hopefully an update next Friday on that.

Here’s some pictures from today… bands were 1.5-2.4mm.

Well, Flora has knocked my socks off and taken my breath away. She’s beyond stunning! Congrats, and enjoy her immensely. May each gaze and glance, glimmer and sparkle, bring you a burst of joy!
 
My vote is for #3! This one lol.

I agree as long as the gap was comfortable. Sometimes I find when the rings are spread it can pull a little in the finger.
