HPD NY Classic featuring a 1.23 E SI2 CBI

[pinklemonadegurl]

Love it! And I love it stacked! I told future hubby I want a fitted band to match my new ER. AND another semi-eternity band. He was like " Whoa whoa whoa, huh?" He had never heard of 'stacking'. Enjoy!!!

@Lykame I have no plans to change this ring or diamond anytime soon! It is exactly what I wanted. Now, I would love a 1.90ish diamond, but then I would feel very self conscious at work (I work with the public—in homes as a visiting therapist). I wouldn’t wear it to work. So that is off the table! 1.5 carats is what I think my max would be until retirement in 10 or 15 years. After that, all bets are off!

I love this setting and the fact that I can stack it. DH (and I!) love color, so maybe a ruby or emerald anniversary band is in my future?

Aside from this ring, I’ve been looking at some 0.40-0.50 studs on the website. Just daydreaming for now.

Hahaha I feel like you are me! I am looking at studs now too while I wait for my engagement ring... I think the bf is not pleased but then I feel like I trade them in towards a bigger engagement rings stone at a later date! Plus I am paying for them so pffffff

Still loving this ring! I took some pictures over the holiday weekend and thought I’d share!




These pictures don’t do the diamond justice—under the dappled shade of these enormous trees—wow!




More shots of the beautiful setting:



....and my kids accuse me of never reading a book! The BEST summer reading!

I scored an “out there” 1950’s ring wrap on Ruby Lane last weekend... I want to get a colored stone solitaire to wear with it (or two or three!), but here it is pictured with my CBI. I won’t wear it like this often at all due to the wear it would inflict on the HPD setting.... but boy oh boy is it ever a “look!”

Went for a run yesterday before my daughter’s softball game...

First pics are full sun at 11:00am. My fingertips are pointing at the sun.




Fingers are offering shade here...




This was my shirt I was wearing— and a rose gold phone reflecting. I have a neon turquoise race shirt from this race (different year). I LOVE how the CBI looks when I wear neon!




Not to be outdone, the original oval was glowing, too. 1.01 F SI1.



Later in the day, overcast, no shade. WHITE!



A couple of the black arrows coming out.

I absolutely love how the wrap looks it’s such a unique look. Which wedding band do you wear the most with your solitaire?

@arhzay I have actually been wearing it alone on my right hand a lot. I can see the setting better without having it stacked. But when it’s on my left hand, I wear it with my bead set diamond band most of the time.

That’s a classic combination which always looks good I’ve read quite a few of your threads but cannot recall if you have mentioned upgrading again or is this it?

I do plan to upgrade again! Just no real timeline right now. I’d like to get 1.4-1.5ish in the next couple of years.

Beautiful stone and setting! Congratulations!!!

I love my fellow 1.2 CBI though!! I think the DSS hasn’t sinked in yet hehehe

Straight to the Easter Bunny via the Polar Vortex... my latest anniversary upgrade has arrived! Back in late January, a “future” CBI popped up on the website and I jumped on it.

First, some pics that show off this gorgeous setting. I waffled back and forth on how to set the CBI, and I’m so happy I went this route. I will be including a ton of shots of the diamond over the week as I get some sunshine and become acquainted with my new BFF.

Gorgeous!!


You will see a few different stacking options!




SWOOOON!



These papers make me super happy.




My percussionist wasn’t quite sure what I was doing here.

More in a minute!
