Hello All!

So, i finally have my gorgeous ring (IMO)!!! It's been such a long journey but definitely worth the wait! I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me out from picking the diamond to selecting the settings and answering my silly questions!

Thank you diamondseeker, chrono, 04diamond<3, JulieN, Charmypoo, Christina to name a few in helping me select my diamond.

Thank you Neil, SarahBear, Charmypoo, diamondseeker for proving your thoughts and examples during my setting search!

Thank you MNMade for allowing me to use your ring as my inspiration!

I purchased my diamond from Yekutiel (IDJ) he was absolutely amazing to deal with, he is so patient and very accommodating. He knew exactly what i was looking for and always answered my questions promptly!

Steven Kirsch has done such a great job with the ring i didn't have to tell him anything!! and it came out absolutely beautiful :twirl: :twirl: :twirl:

Logistically it was always going to be a nightmare trying to get my ring across the Atlantic! But it was worth all the drama!! hehe

Wow wow wow. That is so unbelievably beautiful!!!
The size is amazing on your finger, and the split shank, though subtle, is distinct very flattering.

That is a gorgeous ring, Kathness! I love that shape with the taper. I think it is my favorite, whether it is done with stones like the frenchies, or metal or pave. The -V- from the stone, for a lack of a perfect description. It looks so elegant on your hand. Steven Kirsch does it perfectly. Congrats.

luv2sparkle Thank you so much for your compliment! I can't stop looking at it.. quite embarrassing at times that I get caught looking at this instead of working lol

Smith1942 it looks bigger in photos than in real life :). I have to depart from it today for 3 days :(. I can't wear this ring to Glastonbury :(


MNMade Thank you so much for letting me use your ring as my inspiration!! i truly love this ring! I couldn't have imagined this without looking at yours!
