Full disclosure: I used to be on PS as Never Ending Upgrade. The last upgrade ended, so I needed to reinvent myself. 
I just started browsing diamonds for a 25th anniversary ring. I thought I wanted an Asscher (and I still do, but later), but stumbled upon a post about August Vintage Opulence Ovals. I had been out of the jewelry loop for a while, not even browsing PS for the longest time, so I didn't know about Jonathan's new venture.
I also found an old post I had made back in 2009 about how much I love ovals, so I went to Tiffany & Co. a couple of times and tried on both Asschers (T & C calls them square emeralds) and ovals, both with halos. I had considered a halo ring for my Jubilee back in the day, but finally set it into a platinum Tacori wedding set with trilliants and baguettes and no halo. So, I knew that this ring had to have a halo.
Long story short, Dr. Jonathan has cured me of my "analysis paralysis." This new purchase didn't take 2 years like the last one, so I'm improving. So, without further ado, here are photos of the stone with links to the vids and the setting which will be done by Saturn Jewels. The stone was purchased with the ring in mind, which needed an 8x6 oval.

And the ring:
Probably a band too, so I can have a wedding set:
Work won't begin on the ring until after the new year, but I'm pretty excited about finally getting my oval, so I wanted to post!

We are going to need to see about 100 photos in all lighting conditions.
