Amazingly beautiful stone! :love: Absolutely a perfect match with Victor's setting. The craftsmanship is so incredibly detailed and complimentary to your tanzanite. :clap: Congratulations on a beautiful heirloom worthy ring and also on being able to wear & enjoy your gorgeous stone. I hope it brings back fond memories each time you look at it. Thank you for all the gorgeous photos! :appl:

I agree with Mrs. Blop, this immediately needed to go in her fantastic hall of fame thread!

Thank you ring cat, UrsTx, yennyfire, HotPozzum, sarahb, aac213, anne_h, canuk-gal, Rockinruby, SparklySoprano, arkieb1, adelina, caf, thecat and lknvrb4!

I'm surprised by how comfortable the ring is. I was initially worried that the stone would be too high off of my finger but it's fine. Thank you everyone for all of the kind comments.

I am such a sucker for a good photo - and that color! Your ring is stunning. The kind of ring people definitely see from across the room and sidle over, subtly or not, to check out! Beautiful.

This is the perfect marriage between stone and setting! Absolutely to die for gorgeous! Msblop is right, it's completely worthy of its spot in the hall of fame! Please don't stop posting pics, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be coming back for a second and third look! Congrats!!

I love your ring! The details and french cut diamonds are fantastic but your Tanzanite is still the star of the show. Wear it in good health and happiness!

Thank you _lovesvintage_, CRYSTAL24K and Lovinggems!

I have a question about cleaning the ring. I understand that ultrasonic is a no-no. I'm assuming steam is bad. Any recommendations on what should I use?

Thank you blingbunny and diamondseeker! I wore it the other day and I have to say I'm glad I wasn't driving. I still can't take my eyes off of it.
