I have my 10 year upgrade!! First off, I want to offer a big thank you to all that post here in order to educate others on such important and emotional purchases. When I found Pricescope, I only knew I wanted a cushion, and didn't really know where to go from there. I got a great education and I am thrilled with the final product.

First up is the stone. I worked with Matt at GOG and he was extemely helpful and patient with me chaning my mind numerous times. I couldn't be happier with the service that I received and loved the lifetime policies attached to my stone. http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/8187/

From the inital contact with Victor, I was really ipressed by how easy it was to communicate with him by email. I flip flopped between 2 designs and he was so patient and easy to work with. My husband and I are completely blown away by the quality of the setting, and the style suits me perfectly.

Stats:
Antique style cushion
G VS2
8.10 x 8.08

The ring is a size 5.25, but I may have it sized down as it is a bit loose but I'm concerned with swelling in the summer heat. I do not intend to wear a band. I am attaching photos, but I apologize in advance for the quality. I have a new respect for the great photographers around here!

That is so great. :love: :love: :love: Couple of questins: Could you wear a French cut band with it if you want to? Do find it high or low on your finger? Wear it for many more years of happiness. So pretty!

Thank you for all of the nice compliments!

Backwardsandinheels – I remember seeing a picture of Wintotty’s ring worn with a band (though I believe it may have been from Tiffany). I am not very traditional and kind of a minimalist so wearing a separate band isn’t for me, but hers looked lovely. One of the things that attracted me to the design is that it can stand on its own, but I think its personal preference. As far as the height, I had asked Victor to have a slight curve on the cathedral but he didn’t want it to sit to high. It is perfect for me and doesn’t get caught on anything.

Fridays Child – I couldn’t be happier with this setting. I initially wanted a pave split shank, but I felt this would be more practical as I am pretty hard on my jewelry and I really liked that feels more durable bc of the channel walls. I will try to take more pics, I feel badly that I can’t capture the beauty of this ring in photos, in the meantime there is a video of my ring here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zriht75M7iM&list=UUjKUkZZv7JZaLvAAGWUQBaw&index=1&feature=plcp

Congratulations on 10 years, and the beautiful ring takes the cake!
I don't think you should size down the ring because right now it looks perfect, if you size down, you may get ring muffin-top in the summer (which is a huge pet peeve of mine)! Plus a 5.25 is just my size, so should you ever change your mind on the setting, I'll be right there in line to buy it :naughty:
