Thanks Dee*Jay and Cachette. Yes I am a lucky girl in more ways than one. I just noticed on the valuations that my WB has 20 diamonds

Not intentional but kind of cool to know

Congrats on the milestone anniversary & your new blingy set!

Are those heart prongs I see? Precious Metals did a great job!

Thanks Jadeleaves no they are not heart shape but just 'shaped'. i don't know what the technical term from them is but I just love them. yes Precious Metals and Garry's team did a superb job. I don't know if Johnny actually made it in the end but whoever did did it perfectly

Katebar congratulations on 20 years of marriage and stunning new rings!!! It looks like you found one killer diamond and the engagement ring setting is so pretty and classic. I love the look of your channel set band. The two rings are just incredible together, enjoy!

Thanks Sundial Canuck-Gal and Lumpkin. Yes the stone is really amazing and i was going to let it go orignally but Tim said i had to have it

The band is not really a channel setting but has little ''grains'' of platinum between each stone. Looks wonderful

Oh thank you seven ones. Yes the band is from Garry. I originally planned to just have a plain band but Rebecca and my sister ''talked'' me into this bit of bling

. I glad they did

[DMBsGirl]

[anchor31]

Congrats on the anniversary and the upgrade! It''s amazing!

 

[katebar]

Thankks rascal49 skippy123 NYCsparkle DMBsGirl and anchor31. I was just with a client then and I am a very talk with my hands type of gal and she went "Stop for minute. Your ring is so shiny

.
I thing I might need to be a bit more subdued because I don''t want to distract my clients. Who knew that sparkles could be an occupational hazard

Katebar,

As everyone else has said, your new rings are just beautiful! Enjoy it, and thanks for sharing with us!

If you don''t mind, I have a quick question for you. The setting that we have ordered for my e-ring is similar to yours in that the head is a bit wider than the stone and therefore the U of the prongs come down to rest on a "doughnut" or circular base (I hope you understood that- see my attempt at an illustration below ). Because of this, I''m nervous that a wedding band won''t sit flush since this "doughnut" sticks out further than the band/shank of the e-ring.

So, my question for you is, did you do anything to make your wedding band sit more flush with the e-ring (i.e. is the doughnut shaved down on one side), or is your "doughnut" just not that wide? Thanks for any tips/info you can give us!

katebar...I LOVE the new set! Your ering setting is classic, but with a unique and gorgeous basket. I agree with everyone that your stone looks enormous on your tiny fingers.

havernell...my guess is that the band doesn''t fit exactly flush, i.e. there''s a small gap, but katebar will have to confirm that. I like a little gap and prefer the doughnut at the bottom of the basket over the prongs meeting at a single point. However, I''m biased because I insisted on flush fit with my first ering at the expense of a basket I really loved.

I totally understand what you are saying Havenell. When I tried it on, straight away I was concerned there was a 'gap'. Instantly Rebecca Garry's sale assistant new what I was on about and they 'cut' a tiny gap in my ER on the spot. They told me that some people did'nt like this idea so they leave it till after the ring is finished and they can see if the 'gap' worries the. The cut they made is not at all unsightly and my ER on its own look great. Ill take some photos later to show you

Great! I would love to see photos of the tiny cut whenver you have time to take some. The guy who made my setting offered a similar suggestion on how to reduce the gap (he said they could shave the metal on one side) which sounded reasonable to me. But, perhaps your "cut" is an even better idea. So, I''d love to take a look.

Thanks a lot!

 

[Swedeabroad]

Congrats! What a stunning and classic set you have

I would love to see more pics if possible
