My Semi-Bezel E-ring in Wax

[freudianflip]

I already posted these pics in LIW , but am so excited to finally be able to post in SMTR, so here goes!

These are pics of the wax mold of my custom e-ring at the jewelers yesterday. The diamond is just sort of resting (precariously) on top here, and will be set lower in the final 14K WG version. Have to wait about 4 weeks for that.

I LOVE it!

I wanted something similar to the Tiffany etoile but with a slightly more delicately-proportioned shank. It''s exactly what I envisioned, clean lines, modern, something I can look at every day and never tire of.

btw the diamond is from the engagement ring my dad proposed to my mom with 35 years ago. as far as I know, the specs are: .51 ctw, F-G, SI1, eyeclean, excellent cut.

thanks everyone for the kind words! I do have so much sentimental attachment to this diamond, and am very excited to have such a special ring that my soon-to-be fiance and I chose together.

It''s great that you have the same stone that your mom and dad had! I bet the four weeks feels like eternity right now.
