My ERD Halo!!

[ktdid]

You guys don't know it but you saved me from getting a ring from a local B&M store that I "liked" but didn't love. I ended up following advice here and checking out ERD.com. Like many others I was hesitant about doing an online purchase for something so expensive. I was so pleased with every aspect of my purchase from ERD. Gary helped me and reassured me as I'm in Texas and wouldn't get to see the ring till it made it to my house. The ring arrived and the plan was that I was not to see it till BF proposed. Yes, I'd seen it online but not IRL and I was still a little worried. Totally unfounded as this ring is just perfect! I can't imagine being any happier and it's more gorgeous than I even expected!

I learned so much from you guys and this forum and I want to thank you! Without further ado... the pics! Oh, the details! It's a RB with a square halo. The cathedral has diamonds and there is a surprise diamond on the side. LOVE IT!! The RB is 0.9ct, F, VS2. There are 32 RB side diamonds total weight = 1/3ct, F, VS. My ring size is 4.75.

I hope the pics do it justice

Wow, what a gorgeous ring!!!!!!

I''m hoping to get a similar setting for a sapphire. Could you tell me more about your setting? Is it one of their stock settings or custom? If it is on their website, would you mind linking it?

Congrats on your engagement - the ring is perfect!!

I LOVE your ring ktdid and am waiting for some information from Mark at ERD on a ring similar to this one..is yours a custom made or did Mark find this setting for you? Did you end up going with the white gold or plat?

I am so jealous!

Do you know what size the halo and shank are? They are perfect for your finger size!

Congrats on your engagement, your ring looks lovely on your hand. Wear it in good health.

 

[Cleopatra]

Wowsers!

That is one knock-out ring! Congrats to you!

 

[MoonWater]

Oooh so purdy!! I was just telling my best friend about how she could get a RB with a square shaped halo. I need to direct her to this thread!

 

[vespergirl]

Gorgeous ring! I love an RB in a squarish halo.

 

[Ellen]

Beautiful job!

I can''t get a direct link but if you go to the ERD website and then click on the Mark T Collection link it will lead you to the ring. The style is the Marla. There are plenty of other gorgeous choices, too!

Thanks so much!

I worked with Gary and asked to use the Marla style as my ring. I tweaked just a few things and chose a round with a square halo. It's platinum, too. I'm so happy with how it turned out! Honestly, I don't know what size the shank and halo are! I'll have to email Gary!
