Brightspot- I''ve been waiting to see this ALL DAY!
and it certainly does not disappoint.. the ring is just beautiful, and your boy did a lovely job w/ the proposal (who can object to being asked twice?)
Sooooooo beautiful! It came out really, really well! And it looks *so* good on your finger! What a knock-out!
Gosh... I''m getting a little misty thinking about the whole process!
Thank you so much to everyone for your heartwarming comments! I''m just glowing!
Gosh, I just can''t tell you guys how much my experience on PS has meant to me! I''ve learned so much here & enjoyed hearing everyone''s stories & seeing so many gorgeous rings, I was really looking forward to finally posting a ring of my own. It''s been just amazing reading all of your responses & seeing so many familiar faces.
A big thank you to kaleigh, my first PS friend, for always being there for me through everything from the beginning, velouriaL, for helping me decide what was right for me & convincing me to have the patience to wait for it to come to fruition (hopefully I did the same for you!), valeria101, design & photoshop genius, for helping me nail down the finer details of the ring design, to mrssalvo & diamondlil for holding my hand through the custom ring process, Milly for sending the diamond fairy in my direction, moremoremore for making me laugh, the list goes on and on.... Thanks to everyone for sharing a bit of your time & your lives (and a lot of your bling!) with me.
Ok, sorry for cheezing here.
Back to the ring!
I really love the work in the gallery too! I''m so glad I didn''t have it removed to fit a wedding band. I''m surprised at how much I enjoy looking at the ring from different angles. It does look like a thin band will fit fairly snugly against the e-ring. Yay!
curlygirl, re: this ring possibly being too big, you''re right, what was I thinking? I''m so over that...
Lynnb, I''m very flattered that you''ve added my ring to your halo gallery! (though I don''t think you''d be able to lift your finger if you added a halo to your gorgeous new honker!
) I have so many beautiful PS rings saved to my computer that I''m honored that mine is now taking up someone else''s memory space!
Widget, thank you so much for the detailed compliments. I absolutely adore every ring you''ve shared w/ us (would you consider starting a thread showcasing your entire collection? Please?) so it means quite a lot to me that you like my ring.
I love Deco stuff too! And my sweet, sweet guy....
FG--thanks! Have you posted pics of your new w-bands? Just curious...
kaylagee, I''m quite humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as La Reena, L''Art Nouveau and La Lovey, some of my very favorites along with, of course, La Kaylagee....
VAgirl & Milly, I''ll try to see if I can get a few more pics. I forgot the flower shot...
icekid, it''s been more than twice by now! My FI is so cute--he keeps proposing! (no additional rings, tho...
LOL!) I just can''t wait to see your ring!!!
MMM, thanks for the compliment & for making me laugh so often!
Diamondlil, I agree that Quest did a fabulous job! I''m so glad they sent pictures as I had a hard time capturing the details...
Velouria, I''m getting pretty misty as well. Thanks for all of your help & support along the way! It''s really been a pleasure getting to know you & share in the evolution of our respective rings! I''m so glad we held out for the *right* ring....it was so worth it!
Jennifer, thanks! You are certainly the expert on big & sparkly!
Tiff...speaking of eye candy, I just can''t wait to see the finished product on your ring! Wowza!
Oh geez, that is so sweet of you. Actually I think I had as much fun as you did going throught his whole process. I am just so happy for you, the ring is amazing.
GOG has my check just waiting for it to clear so they can send it to me. The design will be a Daniel K inspired halo ring, but I added a few twists. I am putting diamonds going up the prongs and am adding diamonds to the gallery. It will be done in platinum. I will post cad images as I get them. The asscher is .92 E VS1. It is going to be amazing, thanks to Storm!!!!!!
Just came back for another look. I can''t get over how beautiful it is. I wish Quest had sent you a picture of all the little pieces before putting the ring together. I''m sure that was not an easy job. Can you post the inspiration ring for comparison?
Aww, thanks, everybody! I can''t stop staring at it!
Yup, that was the inspiration, sevens! I think my RB makes it look fairly different from the ring w/ the OEC.
Jellybean, I''m glad I didn''t have to wait long for it either!
Diamondlil, yeah, I''d actually requested to see each piece as it was made, but apparently that would''ve put a huge kink in the production process. I think being in the dark just added to the suspense, though! It really came out perfectly. I''m also enjoying the mix of the pave (bead set) diamonds, milligraining & the smooth metal. The shank is so comfortable.
I just compared both the inspiration ring and the real thing, and Quest did such a great job capturing the details. I wish I could see it in person. Any progress on the wedding band?
