Congratulations to you!! What wonderful news! I''m glad you didn''t have to wait too long for that beauty! Even with the phone shot, it still looks incredible on your finger.

Thank you very much for that link! It''s now bookmarked, along with this thread! I sure wish Mark did work in rose gold... I have already showed our jeweler your ring and told them, "THIS! As close to this as possible, in rose!" I''m very excited to finally know exactly what I want.
Can''t wait for more pics!

I''m glad you''ve figured out what you want! I''ve never seen any rose gold from Mark, but you could always call or email and ask him!


After attempting to get hand shots inside and failing miserably, I braved the 16-degree wind chill for all of you. I had MUCH better results. It was way easier to take clear photos outside. The Petite Torchiere is just that, petite. At first, I was panicking that I made the wrong choice and that I should have gone with the regular. However, my fingers are not only small, but also short and the less metal on my hand the better...especially when I add a wedding band. With that, I am in love with my ring and I know I made the right decision. Here we go...

Thank you! I love it

 

[Porridge]

Oh it''s beautiful! I had often wondered (and hoped) whether someone would modify the Torchiere for a cushion. And what a beautiful cushion!

Officially, my new dream ring

Congratulations!

 

[elle_chris]

Stunning. Love the way it looks in the setting. Very elegant.

 

[Cachette]

I really, really, really LOVE your stone and setting! Oh my goodness it`s soooo beautiful!

I just added your ring to my "favorites" folder. Hope you don`t mind.

Congratulations on your engagement. Best to you both.

I love everything about your ring!! I was also wondering what nail polish you were wearing.

 

[sparkle.castle]

Porridge: Thank you! I was surprised no one had done it before. I knew I wanted an August Vintage Cushion and I knew that I wanted the Torchiere (I was still undecided about the regular or the petite). When Mark said he would modify it for me I was thrilled!

elle_chris: Thanks

Cachette: Thank you. I don''t mind at all!

josmar0623: Thank you. My nail polish is OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark"...it''s a really deep purple, although it photographs almost black.

Love your ring. Love the cushion.

I have been thinking about MWM for my future ring (once I find the cushion to go in it). My ideal would be another modification. I''d love to get the Fancy Torchiere in a 4 prong without the diamonds in the crown and in a petite size. That would be my ideal. Since you''ve paved the way for 4 prong modifications, I wonder if my concept would have a better shot.

His website is not letting me copy the photo (or at least I haven''t been able to to), so here is the link to his current Fancy Torchiere.

Thanks for being a trailblazer, and enjoy your gorgeous ring.

A++ I especially love the outside pics of the ring in the box - perfection!

 

[sparkle.castle]

Roxie Bling: Thanks

Do not hesitate to work with Mark. He is fantastic (and also a busy, busy man!). Does the Fancy Torchiere taper at all? I hope you are able to have your ideal ring created! Your trailblazer comment made me laugh...and you''re welcome!

motownmama: Thank you! I was determined to get some good shots for all of you!
