Thanks, Upgradable!! I appreciate the compliments. I am hoping so too. I was generally pleased about the improvements, and I am hoping that over time I can just enjoy it as a RHR and forget how miserable the 1st half of this year was getting there, and also the disappointment that it didn't work out as planned. The aesthetic improvements help!
Thanks, mrssalvo! I am always hesitant to say too much too soon, as I am a slow-poke and notice things gradually, but I am generally pleased at how it turned out. He did make the prongs more delicate, and set the stones higher, etc.., so, for now I''ll just say, so far so good. We are still watching the sizing, because I don''t want it to be too big, but for now it can be hard to put on in the morning because of my big knuckle. But Pete & I both didn''t want to go too big, because I don''t want it flopping around like crazy in the winter either. Right now it''s 6.75 with the horseshoe sizer. (w/ the FM shank it was size 5)
Thanks, Skippy! I was pleased that he raised the diamonds up, since that was the whole idea of the open-profile.Date: 8/1/2008 8:31:41 PM

It is beautiful, I love how you can see the whole diamond from the side, very delicate prongs!!
Hi MGR! It is good to see you here again! Thanks for the feedback! I think, so far anyway, that the dark spots are not quite as bad. I saw them a little, but hopefully the changes are alleviating some of that. Will give more feedback the more I wear it!
Thanks, arjunajane! As I said I appreciate every compliment! I don''t think I am ''turned off'' so much as, gun-shy or something (can''t think of the term I''m looking for) - I tried to explain above, but let''s just say it takes me time to know the ring, if that makes sense. So I wouldn''t say I "love" it (yet), but like it and hopefully will grow to like it better & better over time, and maybe eventually love it. Plus I haven''t even had it a week, and only a day or two when I first posted this thread.
Thanks, Ellen! I appreciate the compliments, and also the assurance that you''re "not just saying that"! (Because I am the type to wonder, ''are they all just saying this because they know how bad I felt... etc.'') Hopefully I have explained above how I feel about it - too soon to tell for sure, but overall I was pleasantly surprised. He even made some of the changes that I had mentioned but thought he said they couldn''t do. But anyway, your and everyone''s reassurance help me like it more too!Date: 8/2/2008 8:35:58 AM

I think it''s a beautiful ring OFG, really. I love the profile, and the side view is much prettier now, imo. I really do think it turned out great. And I''m not just saying that.
But as others have asked, how do you feel about it?
Cheers for the clarify OFG.
Thanks, RxTechRN2b! The "prongs on the center stone being doubles that meld together at the tips" is one of the features I really like. I wanted something with an antique flavor, and in the end I think it is a bit more modern, so that little double-prong feature is, to me, a little minor antique-ish touch which I like.
Thank you, Upgradable! I remember posting all those open-profile rings, so when I read this post, I was thinking, oh yeah, what did she end up with? I looked at your threads, and saw the one with the gorgeous YG ring you were having Wink make, but I didn''t see the finished product. Did you get it? It''s funny, because after all those rings I posted, you chose a design I also had a photo for, and considered when I was trying to decide. It was from a pricescope named glitterkitty, and had a similar look to the one you showed CADs of. I was always torn between the totally open-profile, vs. something like that to get a little antique flair in there, but I guess I couldn''t figure out how it would look with a prominent center stone like mine has. But I''d love to see how your ring turned out!
