I put a stone on layaway from Grace, it was an easy process and I fell in love with the stone! I didn't want it to look like an engagement ring so I knew I wanted a little detail to the band and I love the idea of a buttercup setting so I asked Sally and Pomme from heart of water to make me a beautiful rose gold hand forged setting. I've never done anything like this before or even seen an OEC in person so I was definitely nervous!

But it's here!!!!! And I have never seen a diamond as beautiful as this in my life! I love the larger flashes of color, I definitely made the right choice for me! And it is looking white white white to me even though it's a GIA M so I don't know what that's all about lol?

Thank you to all of the pricescope people, I would never have heard of these vendors without pricescope and it was so easy. Grace made the layaway process very easy, and Sally was seriously the sweetest person I could ever have hoped to work with on the design.

I had three rings from here that inspired me, one for the OEC stone in this color range, one for a buttercup setting, and one for the leaves in the band, and I took ideas from all of those to design my ring, as well as many picture searches!

I also can't figure out why 2.22 looks so huge to me, it's crazy!

I only have iPhone pictures but I will post those!

And here is a picture of the stone from Grace, since I will never be able to take a good picture of it. It's unbelievably sparkly, shocking really!!!

Congrats, that is lovely! Sally is one of the nicest vendors I've ever worked with, and I think her pieces are truly works of art. What a great setting for that stone--I feel like it really shows off the OEC's personality :appl:

Of course the stone itself is amazing and would look good in anything, but this is playful, feminine, and delicate all wrapped up into one!

Re: It's here!! 2.22 OEC from JBG setting by Heart of Water

Thanks RuthG!

Diamondseeker2006 thank you!!! It was really easy, first I put the stone on layaway so I had the measurements and then I worked with Sally to design the setting I wanted, and it took a few weeks to get on the schedule with her, and a few more weeks to have it made, but that was fine because I was paying for the stone :), then when it was finished she mailed the setting to me to make sure I liked it, and I mailed it to Grace to have her set my stone. It couldn't have been easier and the price with Sally was just so unbelievably good that I knew I could take some chances and make it my own because I can always switch out he setting, but the delicate rose gold is subtle and pretty at the same time and really compliments the stone, the setting makes it look huge!

Thank you all so much, it really makes me happy that other people like it too because I was nervous doing the stone sight unseen and the setting from my imagination, but Heart of Water, just nailed it. There is even tiny little milgrain on the leaves, and the petals of the buttercup are designed to let light in from the bottom as well, I just can't get over the work that they did! I am going to re-read the taking pictures of your diamond thread and I am going to get some more pictures because I have not been able to capture the beauty yet, many more pictures to come later today :)
