Hi all!

Happy holidays! Just a quick post to introduce y'all to "Gracie" (not original naming of the ring, but wanted to pay tribute to its namesake). Also, I have been told in the past that I look like a person that should have been named "Grace". Anyway, this project took years in the making on my part, but is finally done and on my finger. :kiss2: Thank you pricescope and every lovely person on here! I only have a few pics to share right now, but more to come later.

Deets:
2.045 ct N VS2 OEC graded by AGS
7.87 x 8.16 x 5.17 mm
Modified EW Grace Cathedral setting in 18K yellow gold, US size 4.5 (knife edge shank with lower shoulders and K/L single cuts in the gallery)

The OEC is slightly off round, but I did not bezel it because that is not my preference for an ER. The OEC that I fell for was purchased as a ring from Erica at Love Affair Diamonds and the setting is designed and made by Erika Winters. Both ladies were wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them. I had been previously introduced to EW's line when she first launched it and knew that she was the person I wanted to work with for this project. The execution of the details on the setting is perfection!:love:

So here is "Gracie " and how I have been wearing her since her arrival.

Just gorgeous! A classic OEC dream! The stone somehow manages to mix a checkerboard-y center with floral looking border facets and a stunning star. So cool! Love the ivory glow and the classic yg setting. Eric(k)a x 2 = Perfection!

Enjoy!

This band is so cool, is it vintage/antique?

Thank you caf! :D

MakingtheGrade, the band is new and made to look vintage/antique. I purchased the OECs from Grace at Jewels by Grace. I worked with her on the setting as well. The band does have its own thread.
