My Sholdt Semi Bezel

[elle_chris]

Back in Feb. My hubby gave me the ok to purchase a new stone for my e-ring. This wasn't so much of an ugrade but we did it because my original stone was..well.. ugly. He bought it without knowing anything about diamonds and there was a large inclusion that drove me crazy. The original stone is now with my sister that she had set into a pendant.

New stone was purchased through Whiteflash.
It's a GIA EX,EX, EX: 2.52ct, G, VS2- totally eye clean.

I also found this interesting for anyone considering a lower color stone.

G stone before being set and my K pendant are side by side (as close as i could get) and i thought it was interesting to compare the colors this way. The K is 1.04 ct H&A purchased from GOG. In most lightening conditions I can''t see the color at all. This pic was taken midday facing north. I can''t see any warmth at all.

Incredible! Gorgeousgorgeous stone! I love the Sholdt setting!

 

[NuiX]

I''m usually not a fan of bezel settings, but with that diamond how could I not fall in love with it?! It''s fantaculicious! Possibly you should ditch your husband, move in with me, and we could share jewelry?

Eh... it was worth a try...

 

[MMT]

Wow that''s gorgeous. I love the bezel setting.

 

[somehowcollide]

[jcrow]

omg. it''s STUNNING. i absolutely love it. i never thought i was much of a bezel fan, but recently i saw a ring similar to yours, but much much smaller, in person and i absolutely fell in love with it. so, i can imagine yours is an absolute stunner in person! i love how low it sits. and oh!! it''s so lovely with your bands!

Don''t you dare. *waves finger at elle*

HI:

2DIE4!

cheers--Sharon

 

[vita*dolce]

wow, your set is so gorgeous!!

 

[misspinky]

Gorgeous!

 

[purrfectpear]

Nothing to second guess there.

I have always loved that particular Sholdt setting. It''s so fluid and showcases your fabulous stone like a spotlight

 

[laurel25]

GORGEOUS!!! I love that setting with your stone!

 

[elle_chris]

Jenn5504, Macie, jcrow, SanDiegoLady, canuk-gal, vita*dolce, misspinky (by the way I LOVE your new ring), purrfectpear, laurel25- Thank you for looking and your compliments!

Ellen, Purrfect- I doubt I''ll ever change the setting even in my moments of weakness- which happen to be many here on PS

. But yea, I''ve been coveting this Sholdt for at least 3 years and am esctatc with the way it turned out. While I love pave and halos, my style wouldn''t let me pull it off.
Modern, sleek and minimal all the way for me baby!!

Ditto. Count me as a new bezel fan.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I usually like antique style rings but yours could convert me to modern! Beautiful!

 

[Skippy123]

I almost paged you in SMTR, I have seen a pic of your ring floating around! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE PICTURES PLEASE; I AM IN LOVE

congrats!!!!

 

[elle_chris]

Maggieb, Tacori E-ring, Skippy- Thank you very much ladies!!

Skippy, I posted some pics in RockyTalky when Blondie paged me. She was having her jeweler make her a ring based on the Sholdt design. Hers turned out great too! I''d dying to get some fire shots but it''s such a pain here. No backyard in NYC, and so far, hubbie''s been refusing to take nonchalant pics of my hand in the midst of thousands of people. Must further train hubby!

 

[softly softly]

I love this ring - it looks perfect on you. Definitely no need for second guessing!

 

[Jelly]

That setting and beautiful diamond are just perfection and it literally makes me drool!

Big Congrats!!! more pics please!!
