Full eternity bands w/ H&A melee & D color oval center!!

[Roxy]

The finished rings are on their way, but I wanted to share the video that Jonathan at Good Old Gold made for me to gaze at until they get here !

The folks at GOG were phenomenal, especially my partner in "shine", Marie . She's been working w/ me daily for the past few months, making sure every detail flowed seamlessly, & the end result is beyond what I'd originally imagined. Hopefully this link will work (the video is titled "Just for Tia") ...

I've learned so much from the PS family! I know that "beauty" is very subjective & we all have different tastes, but admiring everyone else's rings on PS and studying all of their details really helped me make my design decisions. So I wanted to share my new rings in hopes that they might help someone else solidify their decisions if information-overload starts to set in for them as well. ...

That is so beautiful! How cool that they link together like that!

 

[maccers]

That's amazing, really unique. I just love how it fits together like puzzle pieces!

Can I ask what the ratio of the oval is?

I don't know why I thought couple hours after I posted, you would have the ring. I'm just excited to see this ring!!

 

[Rhea]

Holy bling! That's some serious sparkle! I love the eternity band setting. Is it shared prong?

Thank you SO much for celebrating with me! I learned my lesson about trying to set my "pre-Pricescope" diamond into a "post-Pricescope" setting surrounded by beautiful melee ... hmmm ... not a good look in my case .
Since this was an anniversary upgrade & I love the icy colors, I was looking at F & higher. When GOG contacted me about this D I was speechless (which is rare )! I always knew I was color sensitive but never knew I was so enamored with D's until one fell into my inbox .

 

[chiquitapet]

OMG! Just fantastic! I realised I was holding my breath during most of that video...

 

[Enerchi]

I had to come back and just re watch it again! I want to come and play at your house when it arrives

My heavens that's one AWESOME new set!

 

[AnneinGA]

sooooo pretty!

Thank you Doc, sure!! First, here's a link to the video that I requested from GOG asking that Jonathan point out how the ASET & other info correlated to the actual stone's performance.

As I'm sure you know, ovals tend to have leakage on each end (white dots on ASET) & a bow-tie across the middle, but that they can fire off non-stop tiny sparkles if cut well. So for me it was a matter of finding one that had as little bow-tie as possible (everyone's goal right? ) & a sparkle "pattern" that really appealed to MY eye. I started by looking at the ASET & DiamXray patterns and then followed up by asking GOG for the Gem Advisor data so I could see the virtual model & the video (linked below) with Jonathan's expert opinion for confirmation.

I'll see if I can figure out how to download the specs & analysis, or if everything's still posted on their website, I'll try to post the link.

You guys are so sweet! No, I won't be wearing spacers. The single-prong (or "floating diamond") design has a scallop edge so I wasn't comfortable with the idea of a spacers. Instead, I had them lightly solder (they can be carefully separated in the future) one of the w-bands to my e-ring and that'll be my everyday set with no rubbing, etc. I know the 3 bands together are quite a sight, but that was DH's idea & to be honest, I don't plan to wear all three very often (just to dressy events or to please my sweetie ). I readily agreed to the idea because by having a second w-band, I have the option of wearing a single eternity band by itself when I don't want quite so much bling (and really, is there such a thing as "too many" diamond rings?).

Enerchi I know I'll need you to help me with pictures! You guys make it look effortless, but when I was practicing w/ some RHRs all I'd get are fuzzy shiny blobs !

What drew me to this design was the uniqueness & the way the rings fit together, so I really appreciate all of your kind words!
Maccers: I don't mind answering questions at all. The ratio of the oval is 1:5 and its measurements are 9.09mm x 6.04mm.
Sarahbear: I love the contrast too, but at first, when we were designing it I was a little nervous because ovals have different "personalities" (for lack of a better word) than rounds (especially ideal H&A rounds, right?). But GOG worked hard to handpick melee whose "personalities" complimented that of an oval & after sending a variety of comparison pics they put my concerns to rest.

As an aside, where else but PS would we be concerned about "handpicking" melee? It's no wonder I LOVE this site!
