I"m working on my hand shot, can't seem to get the camera focused right. Hopefully, I"ll have it on tomorrow. I think my e-ring is somewhat clear but the two wedding bands are a little fuzzy but then again..I think it kinda looks cool that way!!!

P.S. By the way, for any of you thinking of getting a "J" diamond, it is bright white in my platinum setting....I don't notice any yellow...not even from the side!!!!

Wedding Day: 12-23-04

Oh Bennie- Your ring is so lovely. Beautiful J.
Thanks for the shots.

I think this is a good shot...still kind of fuzzy but shows the "boldness" of my band!!! By the way, this diamond is also my avatar!

I like, I like. You did good. Just ordered my custom ring from Whiteflash and can't wait. It's so much fun to see other people's designs.

Congrats msbennie!

I luv Js in platinum too - they're soo yummy

Beautiful stone & bands

worth the wait, i'd say!

 

[KBerly]

beautiful diamond! love the double prongs and wide band

 

[slgbug1]

I love your engagement ring setting! AWESOME!!

 

[Patty]

It's beautiful, msbennie! Is that the U-prong setting from Whiteflash? I love it!

 

[msbennie]

No, it's not the Whiteflash design but something similar. I wanted 900 Platinum and 100 Iridium and Whiteflash's rings are only made with 950 Platinum and 50 Iridium...so I had one made. It has the basic look but some differences. Thanks all for your compliments!!!!

Thanks zoobiedo...I can't wait to see yours. I may have some very minor adjustments made underneath the "surprise" diamonds (jeweler doesn't know this yet) but overall, I'm overly pleased with my rings. DF said that his was perfect. You know, he originally wanted a plain platinum band but then decided he wanted his ring to look exactly like mine. So, we compromised a bit on the design. I wanted diamonds on mine and he liked the plainness and simplicity of a platinum band. So we ended up with simplicity but if one looked closer, the diamond melees, almost blending with the platinum bands, may be seen. I also like the fact that the wedding bands can turn completely around our fingers without noticing the top from the bottom....this was a must for me. I truly love them!

I love hearing all the good things about Js! I'm leaning that direction too, although it's been a little difficult finding ideal/excellent cut Js at the B&Ms to make a personal decision.

 

[msbennie]

Go for the Hearts & Arrow "J", you'll love it!!!

I like the double prongs.

Makes it unique but also very secure

 

[Jennifer5973]

Everything turned out so beautifully!

Congrats!

I LOVE the substantial platinum...way to go!

 

[Rowan]
