Gorgeous!

Thank you!! You really nailed it with the "lotus" suggestion, it's an extra detail that really made it and your advice on how antique stones sparkle, also when you highlighted the 'teeth' it made me see to change that to one point - you and bludiva really helped me so much with making this all tie and come together!

If you wanted it to stand out, you could always pair it with a thin, plain platinum band.

I'm pretty sure that's what I should do, like a 2mm, maybe carved with the pattern he did on the band of the ering.

Thank you! I have been too nervous to post the stats and ask if this is a "good diamond", because it's done already... and in person it really is amazing, the sparkle is crazy. I am super happy with it and I know everyone says with antique stones you just have to see them. I think it's a little deep because it faces up a little small.

Now that it's set it shows a pale yellow on occasion. Before it was set and it was just in a ring holder it never looked yellow, so I don't know if it's because it was in a holder away from any metal and now it's in platinum? I actually wish I had thought to use unplated white gold for the setting because I think that would have really worked and not show any color in the stone based on the fact that it didnt show color until it was set.

It’s turned out beautifully. Personally, I wouldn’t want anything to detract from the beautiful setting, so I’d go with a simple plain band.

The carved would be beautiful, as would a diamond band... but if you want it to stand out, try to create some negative space or chose a "different" band. Also, I believe a 2 mm polished band would be gorgeous.

@Inked, I have this band, so of course I'm partial to it... but I think something like this could look really cool. It's SUPER THIN, but strong, because of the height allowed by the knife edge. It also creates a negative space to show off each ring. Best part is it was from Gabriel & Co, and very affordable!

Gorgeous gorgeous ring! So pleased that you are so thrilled with it, I dont think I saw your other thread but my goodness you were single minded with your vision and it paid off! DK has made 2 rings for me now and I agree that his work is absolutely stellar!

WOW WOW WOW! Your stack is gorgeous! I actually LOVE the ‘bead and eye’ style but i’m divorced and I had that for my wedding band from my first marriage so as much as I love it .... well.... you can understand!

Thank you! I definitely had tunnel vision on this! I’m really glad I chose David, he understood my vision.
