one more for now. i''ll try to get more creative soon!

It''s so pretty and colourful!! Gorgeous!

Do you have a side view? I''d like to see the open side that you mentioned in your first post...

 

[shminbabe]

So here are some more pictures, since you asked

I took these today.

 

[shminbabe]

another one. not while driving

 

[shminbabe]

someone wanted to see it more "in real life". i think this gives a realistic view.

 

[shminbabe]

another real life view:

another:

just with the band alone. kind of blurry. just for fun!

 

[poshpepper]

The new pics do a great job of showing the size of the band and how both rings relate. I really love the look of them even more now. The band is small enough not to overshadow your ering, but big enough to stand out on its own. I say overall a perfect combo

 

[Fly Girl]

Awesome, shminbabe! Love that EC solitaire, love your new wedding band, and love them together.

 

[Miranda]

Gorgeous rings! I, too, loooooove the Tiffany band with the open gallery. It looks perfect with your EC!

 

[shminbabe]

Sorry about the sideways shots. Duh!

I truly love the combo too. I am thrilled!

Someone asked about the EC''s specs:

2.28 cts
F
VS1
8.73 X 6.92 X 4.28
1.26 L/W (i think!)
Depth is 61.8 %
Table is 72 % (huge for an EC but I love it anyway)
Symmetry is very good
Polish is good
Faint flouro
Crown height unknown (b & m jeweler had no sarin report and thought I was nuts to ask for it, "it''s beautiful, why does it matter?")

I can never find any inclusion when I look for it and it flashes and sparkles wonderfully. I find it mesmerizing and unique and I''m very happy with it. This was the EC that I first saw, the one that steered me away from my search for an oval cut. I''d never considered and emerald cut but when I saw this stone, I couldn''t stop thinking of them. I had lots of help from many pricescopers during my search. Even though I bought a stone that was outside of the parameters for table size and probably crown height, when I was searching, this was the stone I kept going back to visit. It has a wonderful spread, is sparkly and also very white and clear...I love it.

The jeweler I got it from - well, it''s a neighborhood store. I''m not enamored of them but it was the stone I wanted and the stone I got. I am really happy with it!

I''d love to see pics of other people''s ECs, too. Tacori, I''m talkin'' to you! And anyone else with an EC!

Jeannie:

Don't ya just LOVE looking at your ring while driving????

That's SOME ring!!!!

 

[wolftress]

Wow, you really do have the best of both worlds! The elegance of an emerald cut and the sparkle of a brilliant. They look beautiful together, and the band is substantial enough for you to wear it by itself too. Well done! Congrats to both you and WF

 

[sevens one]

thanks for the new pics.

(my neck is a little sore for some reason) lol

 

[LE]

Beautiful! Do you mind if I ask the color of the stones in the wedding band? They are icy white like your e-ring!

 

[shminbabe]

The color of the stones in the wedding band are Fs like the EC. VS quality, A Cut Above. Love ''em. They are soooo sparkly.

Someone asked about seeing the side view, open gallery. So here are a few:

[shminbabe]

And, yep, this is the last one. Thank you for indulging me!

 

[BigDiamonds]

Yes, hooray for you!

What a stunning ring and combination with your e-ring! It looks awesome!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

OMG, they are perfect together!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Your rings are just gorgeous! Your EC is indeed beautiful! I know nothing about numbers on those stones, but I can see why you chose it! And I love the new band! It is significant enough to wear alone and it is a lovely compliment to your e-ring. You are very pretty, too!

 

[katiedid]

I absolutely LOVE that band! Soooooo pretty! And your EC is amazing. I don''t see all that many of those that I like, but yours made me drool!!!!!

 

[kcoursolle]

You have such great taste! Your set is so classic and drop dead gorgeous!!! Don''t you love the WF ACA''s? I have a WF band too and I drool all the time when I look at it!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

They look great together!

 

[shminbabe]
