My ring is done! Pictures inside

[Molly1024]

So, after a little over a month, my engagement ring is finally done! My husband let me redesign it as a late wedding present, as the old setting wasn't really to my liking. Once we found out that the prongs were made for a much bigger diamond, that sealed the deal. Here's two "before" pictures:

The old setting was WG; three (don't know specs) diamonds on either side; the new setting has sixteen points of SI/G-1 diamonds bead set.

I kept my wedding band as is because it has sentimental value to me, even though they are different styles now- my next upgrade will include a new band, but I'll always keep this one.

And now, for some pictures...

A clearer shot- my camera either doesn''t have a macro mode or I don''t know how to work it

I''m a nerd and took these through a loupe:

I loooove the prongs- they''re so graceful and sweeping

Thanks so much everyone- I know it''s a small stone compared to PS standards, but we''re young and upgrades are far off; at least it''s big by local standards!

I love the new setting! It gives you a completely different look!

 

[DillPickle]

Very nice. I like how you retained the essentials of the old setting but made it "new."

Very very nice setting. I''d love to see a close up of your prongs, they look pretty.

You say your stone is small for PS but big by local standards. What are the specs on it?

Again, Congratulations.

Beautiful! I love rings with thin diamond bands, makes the stone pop. I like the detail on the prongs too.

Thanks everyone! I''m visiting family right now but I will take more pictures when I get home. From what I remember, my stone is a .86 radiant cut, E/SI1.
