My GOG 1.71 E VS1 Asscher

[asilsaur]

I've been waiting 6 months for this baby to make it's way to my finger! Jon at GOG sourced this little lady for me, took calling in about 20 diamonds over the span of 2 months. I originally wanted an eyeclean f/g color to maximize budget but the optics on this diamond could not be beat. She looks fantastic in every lighting condition. GOG also custom made the setting for me because I decided it would be easier to do it all at one place. I wanted a 1.8 mm band with a tiny little donut so there wouldn't be a space between my wedding band and the engagement ring. I could not be happier with the end result! She is a little bit too lively at times.
Sorry not sorry for the photo overload.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the kind compliments and well wishing! I would reply individually but I am currently swamped at work

I took a couple of photos of Goldilocks (because she's just right) right before work this morning. She's awesome in different lighting environments and has so much personality



Photo the day after my engagement while playing with my new toy ( I.e. wiggling my knuckles to watch her sparkle)

 

[16ocean]

First of all: Best Wishes on your recent engagement.
Wear that beauty in good health!

Steps for miles you could get lost in it. A lovely stone & classic setting!

 

[foxinsox]

Lordy that's a gorgeous asscher! I love the simple clean setting you've got her in. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you so much for posting the GOG video because that was thoroughly fascinating. You had a lovely set to choose from!
