L diamond in G/H halo- yes, I did it!

[oneandahalfrock]

Hello ladies and gentlemen!!!
I had a chance to do a little photo shoot with my new sparkler
It was just my 4th anniversary last week, and since my house wasn't ready on time (a whole 'nother rant

), I got something pretty to hold me over

.
She's nothing big- .90 carats, lower color- a lovely shade of vintage off white, faint yellow 'L', and even a lower clarity- omg, did someone say I1 (eye clean 80% of the time, but no black inclusions!), but I think she is a sweet little stone.
She's mounted in a vintage style white gold setting with .22 carats of G/H VS/SI diamonds and the most lovely engraving.
Without further ado, here she is....

Another pic... yes, many more to come

The mandatory fire shot

 

[oneandahalfrock]

I''d say she was a reasonably clean I1

 

[oneandahalfrock]

I''m a sucker for pretty fire shots

 

[oneandahalfrock]

You can sort of see her little arrows here...

 

[Amethyste]

Oh.... She sure is gorgeous "L"uscious I might add!!!

 

[DiamanteBlu]

Very nice!

 

[amyjokerette]

I can see the arrows!!!

Beautiful ring! Are those marquise on the halo?

I just adore your lemon pear! Dare I say she gave me some of the courage to mount a lower color diamond in a white halo. but omg, your is just 5 carats of '' to die for!!!!''.
Thanks- the compliment means a lot coming from you

They''re rounds, but I can see where the white prong on the end can make them look sort of pear/marquise-ish.

Thank you- I was grabbing a Jamba Juice yesterday and a stranger complimented my ring... I was very flattered, I love my 1.5 carat diamond, and the simple setting gives it versatility, but rarely gets my hand grabbed...

 

[D&T]

Gorgeous!!!!

 

[poshpepper]

Beautiful! I love lower colored diamonds

 

[tigian]

Gorgeous! Happy Anniversary!

 

[ckrickett]

I do have such a soft spot for warmer stones... I think they are just beautiful, and yours is just stunning!

 

[Luckyeshe]

What a beautiful ring!

I just love vintage settings and yours is lovely and never would have guessed that it was an L or an I1 either. Congrats on your anniversary, btw!

 

[Catmom]

It''s beautiful!

Awwww THank you so kindly, I am glad that my W/X colored pear gave you a little courage to mount your beauty in this beautiful setting! But you know, a lower color diamond looks great in a white mounting. As long as people embrace the "l"ower graded ones and admire them for what they are worth, any color can go in a white setting. It's all about attitude and enjoyment. I hope yours brings you many years of sparkles, smiles and captivating looks I love it!!!

PS: When you have time, I'd love to see a profile shot of your beauty, I would love to have a better gander at the engraving please?
