My Engagement Ring

[Fancy605]

Hi all! I already have a thread in LIW with some photos of my ring, but I thought I may as well post some here too! Here are some pictures of fabulous (if I do say so myself) new engagemnet ring from it''s original wax to my hand.

Here it is without the stone

 

[Fancy605]

Here it is with the stone.

The stone is an EGL USA certified stone. I was skeptical about EGL, but one I saw this one in person, I knew it was the right one.

.9 carats
SI1 (totally eye clean! And it was hard for me to find the inclusions with a loupe)
G color (It looked the same as a GIA F to me, and def. better than A GIA H I compared it with, so I am thinking the color is pretty accurate on this one)
Excellent/Ideal Cut (and boy does it sparkle!)
Depth: 61.9%
Table: 56%
Crown Height: 15%
Pavilion Depth: 43%
Polish: VG
Symmetry: Excellent
Cutlet: None
Fluor: None

Another view (You can see where the pave is, and the surprise stones in the prongs)

 

[Fancy605]

Here it is in the box!

 

[Fancy605]

Here it is from the side.

The band is WG with 3 sided pave 3/4 of the way around.
The head has 6 prongs with a little diamond set between each

The band TW= .4

So the Ring TW is 1.3

Here it is sparkling

here it is on my hand! (it's a 4 and 3/4 size)

That''s very pretty. I''ll bet it was really fun going through the process of having it made (if also a little nerve wracking)! It turned out beautifully.

Very sparkly! Great setting.

 

[Fancy605]

Thank you so much, everyone! I am very pleased with the way it turned out!

Lumpkin-- it was very FUN to go through the custom process. I pretty much told my fiance what I liked, and he finalized a design, and the company made it. We picked out the center stone, which was VERY exciting. We are going to have the wedding bad custom made to match it perfectly too!

jayrenay9- That setting is VERY similar. I bet it looks pretty too!
