Hopedream''s AVC

[HopeDream]

My beautiful starter diamond, a 0.77 F VS2 AVC from GOG set in a platinum Stuller Solstice setting

This picture, though there is slight table glare, gives the most accurate representation of the brightness I see from my stone in most lighting environments

I requested that the stone be set as low as possible, and GOG did a great job of ensuring that it was set properly.
I realy like the way the cup head is fully integrated with the shank, and the smooth styling of the solstice.

So beautiful! Love the solitaire setting!

Outdoors - it realy does pop off pastels quite nicely.

Artsy profile shot.
The setting is a little chunky, but I wanted something substantial that would hold up with my busy, rather "hands-on" life.
The setting is sooooo comfortable - I strongly recommend a comfortfit shank to everyone.

Hi slg47, Lone_Wolfe, Laila619, Bella_mezzo, Dee*Jay, ZestfullyBling, beezygal, lknvrb4, gemgirl, NatyLad, Circe, Luckyeshe, oranges, and caroleena!

Thank you all for your appreciation of my new sparkley!

I''m glad you think it looks good on my finger. Before I recieved it, I was a little worried that it would look too small
(PS warps the mind

).

It''s so much more fun to share rings with people who know about and appreciate them!
I''m honoured to be among kindred spirits.

 

[Gothgrrl]

I love the proportion of your AVC. It''s a beautiful size.

Just wanted to say your ring is beautiful! Also I don''t see it as small at all!! It looks much larger on your fingers than the specs say!!!!

Congratulations!
