#JOTW My 3.55 OEC in ERD RG/WG solitaire

[armywife13]

Val, it is absolutely stunning, so delicate and graceful. I love, love, looooove your stone with RG. The setting shows off your OEC perfectly!!!

 

[bright ice]

How gorgeous...the setting compliments the stone perfectly. Glad you are happy with it.

 

[gregchang35]

Well done...
Great result and glad that you LOORRVE it.

 

[vinjewels]

It looks like the wait was worth it! And kudos to you for having the patience. I second armywife, the gallery just makes the ring so graceful and fluid. That diamond is just stunning in the setting you chose. Congrats!!

 

[Confection10]

This is one of the most beautiful engagement I have ever saw. I love the delicate, plain shank and just right size prongs. This thread made me missing my solitaire... ....

 

[AnnaH]

Don't know that you asked, but I love it best with the two diamond bands. The diamond is so large, it may even look great with all three bands. I love a stack with a big ole diamond like that.

 

[luv2sparkle]

Wow! Both the diamond and the setting are just stunning!

 

[eh613c]

Wow, how can you not love it at first sight? It's GORGEOUS!! Love the setting too

 

[bbziggy]

A real beauty! So elegant too. I love your OEC and your stunning setting!! I love all of the photos too! Enjoy!!

I'm not one for solitaires, but when it comes with so much coverage - I certainly wouldn't say no

Hehe, me too!

It's beautiful! I love the rose gold.

 

[woofmama]

That is exquisite!!!

 

[Mikla]

Wow! I love the setting with the diamonds between the prongs in the basket. Congratulations on a stunning result!

 

[Rika]

Phenomenal! Congrats!

 

[almondblossom]

I love your ring!!! It is like a small piece of art Your OEC is so exquisite and that setting matches it perfectly!!! It is one of the most beautiful designs I have ever seen. Congrats!

 

[JulieN]

ERD did an amazing job, and the T&Co ring is a perfect match.

 

[angeline]

Oh my word

I had to de-lurk to say that your ring is ridiculously gorgeous.

Seriously perfect... Congratulations...

 

[MarionC]

This level of beauty raises the bar for all future bling posts!

 

[pregcurious]

I love the facet pattern on your stone, and the setting is GORGEOUS!

 

[WhoaNelly]

Hypnotic! I just get sucked into the facet pattern and the colors oh my!!

 

[valmanin]

Beautiful rings!!
What style is the white gold stacker? It is hard to see from the pic, but looks like a bezel set eternity??

I am going to reply to everyone individually a little later. Thanks to everyone for all the compliments!!!

Abby, the WG stacker is a .40 ctw shared prong eternity. It's not mine...just one I was trying on. I am having a hard time deciding which band I want to go with. Imagine that! Hopefully I will decide soon!!!

 

[Hera]

Yayyyyyyyyy!! FINALLLY!! I just adore everything from the diamond to the wedding bands. Upon further thought, I really do like that single prong with your ring. I think it adds a wonderful texture and looks so feminine. Just perfect for you!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

That is just a spectacular ring! Gorgeous diamond and ERD did a fantastic job on the setting! If I were looking for a solitaire setting today, I think that would be the one! So happy for you that you found what you really love!

 

[valmanin]

Thank you so much - derbygal, audilover, ariel, yennyfire, magpie, ecf,

rosetta - I can't believe I didn't love it at first either. This kind of thing happens to me when there is too much pressure in my mind.

Circe - I agree. ERD, for how well priced they are, is putting out an fantastic product with great quality. I am a believer!!!

LJSmom - The Tiffany metro is not mine yet. I am keeping my eye out for a good pre-loved one. I just can't pay the Tiffany premium!

sweetpea&babycorn - Thank you so much! I do love stacking with this ring. I have found that pretty much anything under 2mm looks good with it...WG, RG, YG...which was my goal so . The shank is very delicate and doesn't look good with anything thicker though...okay by me since I don't have much stacking real estate. BTW, your screen name is so cute! Is one of those the cutie in your avatar?

More later...

 

[misskittycat]

I am just BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful this setting is. It's an absolute stunner. I adore the simplicity of the setting and yet.. And yet... The details are magical. It is beautiful from every angle. I am so glad you are happy with this setting. It almost, almost makes me want a solitaire!!!

 

[Dancing Fire]

WOW!!... Can I have it?..

 

[Gypsy]

That setting is breathtaking and so is the gorgeous OEC. Wear it in good health!

 

[GemFever]

Whooohooo, congrats on being Jewel of the Week!

 

[valmanin]

arkieb - Thanks!!! You have been so helpful with your knowledge of diamond undertones and lower colors! I really appreciate all the information you have shared. This stone does appear whiter. I think the reason is two-fold. First, it's GIA M instead of EGL so I do believe it is a bit whiter. It also has edge to edge brightness which makes the whole stone look larger and whiter.

gemmyblond - I agree. ERD got that pinch juuuuust right!

rosebloom - You are singing my song! I can't wait to add some stackers to my life.

asscherlover halo - Wow! I am flattered...especially since I covet your gorgeous asscher/setting!

acinom - thank you so much! In another life I was meant to have a tapered french cut setting like yours!!! I will have to settle for a band someday.

 

[valmanin]

Roxy - I'm glad I let it "woo" me too! I will definitely be adding a shared prong band in my near future!!!

vinjewels - thank you so much! I will show my husband your post because I don't believe "patience" is a word he uses to describe me very often.

confection - awww...thanks! I'm glad you like it since you are a fellow colored metal lover.

AnnaH - I like it stacked with 3 bands too. Unfortunately I don't have the loooong, super slender fingers a lot of the ladies on here have so I have a 2 stack maximum!

eh613 - I plead temporary insanity in the case of not loving it immediately. I imagine this phenomenon can best be likened to buyers remorse. I got over it pretty quickly. I do love it now. I considered not mentioning it, but I like to keep it real!

laila - yes, I love the RG too! ERD's 18k RG is perfect imo!!!!

Thank you armywife, gregchang, bright ice, love2sparkle, bbziggy, sonyachancs, woofmama, mikla, rika,
