My 1.65 ct OEC Lily from JbEG

Meet my little glitter ball from JbEG. She's a 1.65 ct, L, VS2 (EGL) in a Lily setting. She's paired with a "grace" band from BGD (that I haven't removed since the wedding) and an angel eternity band from JbEG (that comes off when the lotion goes on).

This baby has lots of personality. It's hard to describe and I've never seen a diamond quite like her. She kind of looks like a hologram. She is transparent but the fire and sparkle almost look like they are coming from outside the diamond rather than flashes coming from inside. My eyes get distracted by the flashes of color and I have to concentrate a bit to look beyond inside of her. She has a darling little culet that I find so, well, cute. She's a different color everywhere I look at her. Sometimes she's almost white but most of the time she's a very, very faint lemony yellow. On my monitor, the pic on the armrest in the car is the closest to how she appears IRL. She's even lively under the fluorescent tube lights we have at work which is awesome because that's where I spend most of my time.

To me the setting looks both vintage and modern. It's definitely breathtaking and sparkles from every single angle. It feels substantial, yet it's comfortable. It's an eye catcher and makes my stone look so much bigger.

I'm not the best photographer and it's impossible to catch exactly what she looks like but here's a few of my favorites. (sorry for all the pics but I'm in love, love, love!!!) (I don't know why I'm so obsessed with taking pictures in my car but she looks so dazzling in any drive thru)

Here's the love story part where I still get choked up and shed a few tears.

Acinom, SB621 & LLJsmom – My husband has always brought me flowers and it makes me feel special so I thought incorporating flowers into my ring would remind me of how sweet and thoughtful he is.

Ashleigh – My bouquet was standard for the chapel but I upgraded to add the crystals (for only $15). I like the way it turned out too. It wasn’t exactly what I ordered but it was probably better than what I wanted anyway.

Alex T, Laila619, arkieb1 – Thanks! I really appreciate the compliments!

GemFever – I really enjoyed your pics of Audrey.

MissGotRocks – We weren’t really planning to go this big and intricate but she makes my heart sing and I think the setting is classic enough to stand the test of time.

Woofmama – Thanks for the compliments on the pics. I was surprised by how many wedding pics show the bling. We’re both “mature” so I’m glad they concentrated on the pretty stuff instead of my wrinkles.

Sweetpea&babycorn – I enjoyed your Thanksgiving story and I’m glad I’m not alone in getting an upgrade before the wedding! We are lucky girls!

I’d like to add that Grace was a pleasure to work with and her taste is impeccable. It really seems like we got a huge value for our money and she definitely guided me in the right direction every step of the way. This was our first “custom” piece of jewelry and it went exactly as planned and on schedule. I’m glad we used someone with as much experience as Erica and Grace.

Beautiful!! I definitely see what you mean about it having both the modern and vintage look at the same time...like if you look at it straight on and see the smooth metal on the inside lip of the petals, it looks ultra sleek but from the side with the curves and the pave it looks very romantic.
