My Artcarved Imani Diamond Solitaire Reset :)

[briolette]

Hello Ladies! A while ago in the under 1 ct thread I posted about a beautiful ring I inherited from FIL. It belonged to his late wife who I never got chance to meet. The diamond itself is a modest .9cts, 6mm, HI color and I1 clarity. It's not a perfect stone but because it is cut so well it sparkles like mad and has tons of fire and personality.

The old setting was just a classic but very worn out 6 prong Tiffany styled setting.
Before shots:






I am so happy with the results of the new setting! This is is a size 3.5 ArtCarved Imani in 14k white gold with 2 pts of surprise diamonds on either side.

After shots:










What surprised me is that stone seems to have gotten bigger in its new setting Yay! amazing what a new setting can do. I just love the sentiment behind the stone and am glad we could give it a new life.

Your new setting is GORGEOUS! The ring looks amazing and big on your hand - it certainly looks like that hand is going to dig deep into Differential Topology any second now!!!

I love a diamond with history! Enjoy your diamond in its beautiful new setting!

 

[MissGotRocks]

The diamond looks so pretty in that setting - the knife edge really makes the stone pop!

 

[Queenie60]

Very beautiful ring and special diamond!

The original setting is identical to my original setting. Nothing wrong with a classic setting, for sure.

But your reset is gorgeous!

Love this reset!!! Beautiful setting, and the diamond really does pop! Looks fab on your hand, congrats!

LOL, I've been outed. Yes, yes indeed. This belongs to the hand of a mathematician....

Indeed KaeKae. Classic settings are classic for a reason. If mine were in better shape I have even kept it in there especially since it was super comfortable, but it was pretty banged up.



So now I'm all like...do I buy a new wedding band? It actually matches my grandmother's platinum band fairly well, but hers is platinum and mine is white gold. You can see a difference in color. There is an Artcarved Imani matching band, but then it's almost too matchy matchy....maybe an eternity band?

Your reset is gorgeous! What a lovely change and it really does look bigger...

In that case you really must buy yourself a parabola tourmaline!

Awesome.

Oh wow your new setting is beautiful! I love the knife edge and engraving. The stone does look bigger
I like it paired with your Grandma's band, or you could pair it with a diamond band, that would look lovely too. Congratulations on your lovely reset!!

I was thinking of a thin diamond eternity or maybe diamond-ruby eternity band, actually

Ooh....what a gorgeous setting you chose!! It's absolutely beautiful!! Love the sentiment of the stone too .

 

[Acinom]

What a special and beautiful ring.
Enjoy this meaningful piece.

 

[missy]

Beautiful and I love the sentiment behind it. Enjoy!

 

[tyty333]

Very pretty reset! A good reset give a stone new life and this one looks beautiful!

 

[motownmama]

Personally I love it with your grandmother's play band! I often wear plat and WG together. I think the color difference is subtle, but only you can decide if you're ok with it or not.

 

[AprilBaby]

How lucky to inherit such a lovely stone!

 

[Rockinruby]

Oh, this turned out wonderfully! It looks beautiful on you! I'm sure it is even more special since it is a family piece! Congrats!

 

[briolette]

Thank you so much ladies. I love it more and more each day and I think I am just going to wear it with my grandma's wedding band. From a distance the two metals don't look that different and I like the idea of two family items together.

 

[motownmama]

I would too! Enjoy!!
