I''ve chosen my emerald cut! (pics with trapezoids)

[lily000]

Hi Everyone! You may have read my recent post regarding two emerald cuts from JA that I was having a hard time choosing between ...well, I've made my decision and have even chosen some traps! Thanks to all that helped in my previous post. (Yea! I should change my avatar now that I'm not still "questioning" all things emerald cut!

)

I've also decided to have JA custom make my ring. It will be in the style of Gummibear's beautiful LM and UCLABelle's lovely Tiffany ring (thanks to you both for the inspiration!!). I know there are not that many custom JAs on this site, so I will definitely post about my experience along with pics of the finished product for all those interested! (But sadly, we're at least a few weeks away from that..)

Here is my center stone along with the traps I chose. (I went to the JA office in nyc to see them in person - it was too hard to choose using only these photographs.)

Center:
1.53
F
SI1
8.01mm x 5.8mm (Pretty sure this is correct, I don't remember the LxW exactly)
Traps: .54 ctw, F, VS1, 5.1 x 2.8mm

(I'm also going to show the photos of the two pairs of traps that I did not choose, for reference, in case someone is researching a similar ring.)

Fogiive the threadjack Lily, but Lor have you ever posted pictures of your ring(s)? I can never find them and really want to see.

 

[15years]

The traps you picked are perfect. Really lovely.

 

[Tuckins1]

Oooh, I love that combo!

 

[clgwli]

Very pretty! I think that is such a classy look

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I''ll be looking forward to your finished ring! Those proportions look perfect!

 

[MrsBettyBoop]

It looks perfect!

Surfing pricescope is a dangerous hobby... I even have an EC on the way and I eventually plan to set it with some cadillac sides. I will be looking forward to seeing your finished ring!

 

[Bella_mezzo]

those are some of my fave PS rings and something tell me yours is about to be one too

 

[lily000]

Thanks so much for all of your kind and reassuring words! I will definitely post pics of the finished product.

 

[LD]

Oh Lily what a wonderful ring. The proportions are divine. It''s stunning and I''m very very envious!

 

[yssie]

Ooh just gorgeous

You can''t even see the shank from the top view, it''s all diamond!
