Here it is. I will try to get more close up photos tomorrow.

Solitaire is .81 F VS1. Anniversary band is .46 ctw with 15 diamonds.

The .84 G I ordered in was sold before all the paperwork was done on Saturday so they had this one brought in instead. I was kind of upset at first they didn't bother to ask me but I am very happy with this diamond.

I planned on putting the new diamond in my existing wedding set but the diamond just blended in with the other diamonds. So as Dreamer D suggested I tried a solitaire. My old anniversary ring had .43 ctw but had fewer stones so this band is thinner. Funny thing I only ended up with .01 more ctw than I had before but it is quite a different look.

Here are the stats:

GIA Excellent
HCA 1.8 EX VG VG VG

Measurements 5.97 - 6.02 x 3.70
Table 56%
Depth 61.7
Crown angle 34.5
Pavilion angle 41.0
Cutlet none
Crown height 15%

That looks very nice. I take it that is a brand new ring instead of using your three stone mounting?

Very pretty - we'd love more pics!

Enjoy your new bling - I really like the new look!
 
Thank you Miss Got Rocks. Yes those are new rings. I hope to get some more pictures tonight or tomorrow and will get them posted.
 
Really beautiful! Awesome upgrade =)
 
Thanks Btryflygrl.

Thank you Natylad. I like YG really well. Most of my RHR are YG. I can't wait to see yours when you get it. :appl:
 
Congrats marcy!!


It's a very different look - I really like it, your stone *pops* in the new simple setting. Very elegant :appl:
 
Thank you Yssie! It really does pop in the new setting.
 
Funky back light but good arrows view.

Beautiful solitaire!
 
Beautiful rings, congrats :appl:
 
Wow, the set is lovely! I loved your old set, and this one is just as fabulous! :appl:
 
Oh WOW, YAY! :appl: :appl: :appl: Your new set is stunning. I love the setting you chose for you diamond. There is something about the rounded shoulders that hug your stone that I find very appealing and really showcases your stone. The band is a perfect compliment also. Please post more pictures. :naughty: :naughty:
 
It really is a pretty set - I thought the wedding band was from the last rings but no?

I really love your new diamond - just gorgeous and the new setting really shows it off well!
 
marcy it's beautiful! enjoy your upgrade :) :)
 
Congrats on your upgrade Marcy! I love the solitaire setting you choose. I don't know what it's called, but I love how the diamond is kind of cushioned in the setting. Really, really lovely! Wear it in good health!
 
Marcy, it lookks fantastic! Congratulations on your upgrade, and I definitely think you made the right call to go with the solitaire. :appl:
 
Thank you Purplesilk, Diamondmglover, Tuckins1, Farleysmom, MissGotRocks, Sig47, Yennfire and Geckodani.

Farleysmom, they could not have squeezed in one more point of diamond in that setting. The cutlet might have a hair width open below it.

MissGotRocks, I got the new anniversary band for 2 reasons - this one is thinner than my other one and the other one was put together with the old ering. I tried a 3/4 ctw band too but it was too much with the solitaire.

Yennyfire, I asked for a low profile mounting because I am rather on the klutzy side. This setting looks like it protects the diamond really well.

Geckodani, I think the solitaire was a good call. Dreamer D suggested it in my other thread when I was looking at diamonds.
 
I see - well, your new set looks beautiful - you really made good choices.

I hope you are really enjoying it - and I bet you are!!
 
Ooooh yummy, it is STUNNING marcy!! :love: I love the shape of the solitiare, it's so fluid and delicious, and the anniversary ring compliments that gorgeous stone to perfection! Yippee!!! :love: :appl: :lickout: :appl: :love:
 
Hey marcy, congrats on your upgrade! Fabulous stone! Please take more pics.
 
No sun out today but here are a few by the window.

MissGotRocks, I am really enjoying it. Thank you.

Thank you, DandiAndi. I passed this solitaire over at first, I didn’t think I liked the curved band but once I tried it one I liked it quite a bit.

Thank you Gemgirl. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time with cameras over the next few days.
 
They are beautiful marcy and look perfect on your hand! Love the arrows shots.
 
Thanks Michelle.
 
It seems to reflect light pretty well. :bigsmile:
