Just bought 3 GOG August Vintage Stones....

[gr8smiles]

After much study and countless hours reading, I just pulled the trigger and bought 3 of GOG''s August Vintage stones
for a 3 stone ring for my wife. I have wired them the money and they should ship tomorrow. I am planning on taking them to a pricescope appraiser and having them checked out, then sending them back to GOG to be mounted.
Here they are:

What do ya''ll think? Will they be too warm? She wears her grandmother''s ring now and it is an OMC/OEC and is noticeably warm too me,
but she loves the vintage cut and sparkle. I am thinking these will be fabulous.

Jonathan has suggested a Vatch trellis mount...any other setting ideas? She wants some thinkness to the band and will only wear
this one ring without a band.
Thanks for all the great information here on this site.

Those all look stunning!!
I think you did a fabulous job.

Please follow up with pictures.

I''m sure your wife is going to love this!

WOW! What a killer ring that's gonna be.
Lucky girl.

Make sure she's sitting down when she opens the box.

Holy smokes! That''s going to be incredible! Love the stones and the Vatche trellis setting sounds perfect for them. Please post photos!

Re: the warmth, you can always have a look at them with the appraiser and gauge whether they are within the range of her current ring, but it looks like all you will see are rainbows and diamonds floating on her finger.

Lovely choice!

 

[lucyandroger]

WOW......................that is going to be the most AMAZING ring. Please, please, please come back with photos when it is finished! I think the warmth of the stones will only add to the beauty of the ring and the Vatche trellis will be absolutely lovely!!!

 

[yssie]

Can''t wait too see this ring!!!

 

[elle_chris]

Pics are a must!

 

[mani5ha]

WOW!

My SO won''t get me 1 carat let alone nearly 5! What a lucky girl! :sigh:

 

[tyty333]

Geezzzz! I would like to be lucky enough to own one (especially a 3 carater), let alone 3 august vintage stones! Lucky lady!

 

[clgwli]

Wow! I definitely want to see pictures of this when it is completed. I love vintage and vintage look. I definitely think that the warmer stones will add and not detract from the over all experience.

 

[AmberGretchen]

WOW that is going to be an AMAZING ring - what a lucky wife you have!! I agree that pics of the finished product are a must. I think a Vatche trellis would showcase the stones beautifully, while being simple enough not to detract from their beauty

 

[y2kitty]

gr8smiles, please do come back with finished product photos. I''m sure your wife will be thrilled with these lovely diamonds. I was interested in one of your sidestones for a long time. Since you beat me to it, the least you can do is make sure I get to see her in her final home.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

That''s gonna be one hell of a ring no matter what setting you put it in! Make sure you post pics!

 

[Megenoita]

I LOVE those GoG vintage diamonds!

 

[starshine]

This is seriously going to be a WOW ring!!!

Can''t wait to see pics!

 

[Bella_mezzo]

WOW!!!! Please come back with handshots of that when it is made. I can''t wait to see it!!!!

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Nice! You really, really need to come back with some pictures when that baby is done.

Excellent choices!

 

[Fly Girl]

Awesome!!! Add my vote to those who would dearly, dearly love to see how this very special ring looks!

Pretty please!!!

 

[marcy]

That is going to be a beautiful ring. I can''t wait to see it.

Made them clickable!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Delish! Yes, the diamonds will be warm but it suits that cut! And the sparkle and color off that thing will be stunning!

 

[Lorelei]

I think your wife will be wearing a gr8smile for the rest of her life when she sees that ring!!!

 

[DiamondFlame]

Omg, dude. What terrible thing have you done that you have to get her 3 August Vintage cushions?

But that'' gonna be some serious finger width coverage...

 

[Snicklefritz]

Sounds AMAZING!!!! Can''t wait to see pics. This is not a suggestion.

 

[Collee]

WOW, I am speechless. CONGRATS and look forward to seeing the finished ring.

 

[Collee]

WOW, I am speechless. CONGRATS!!! I look forward to seeing the finished ring.

 

[Sizzle]

I cannot even articulate the jealousy I am feeling right now! I have a three stone princess trellis and I think it'' would be beatiful. I wonder if they could add some scroll work to make it look for "vintagy".. ( ok, so that might not be a word).

 

[HopeDream]

WOW!!!!!!!!

That is going to be some ring!!. A Vatche trelis setting would look clean, modern and elegant.

I would love to see pictures of the finished ring, especialy some shots of it on her hand.

Please come back and post picture of your finnised ring.

I think you''ve chosen some mighty fine stones!
