Hello :D

Just wanted to share my recent Upgrade!

Solitaire is 1.17 CTW I color SI1 AGS Ideal in a Platinum Tiffany style band from James Allen. Plain Platinum band is from Tiffany and Eternity is a .33 Martin Flyer from my local jeweler.

My original set was a .41 Pear and wrap band in YG and was not very good cut at all, but neither of us knew a thing about diamonds 17 years ago :nono:

I apologize for the not so great photos, I am a much better shopper than I am photographer LOL!

Anyway, here they are! It is a very nice size and I cannot see any color in an I (mayyyybe a bit of "warmth" from the side in office lighting if I stare at it enough) I hope to one day to upgrade again to at least a 2 CTW but for now I am verrry happy :love:

And a big Thank You to all the PS's who helped me :appl:
 
Gorgeous! You must have small fingers, as it sure looks bigger than 1.17 to me! Enjoy :appl:
 
Beautiful set!
 
Thanks Amy!

Impatient one - Thanks! I wear a 5 but I ordered my solitaire in a 5.5 not really small to me, but I think it looks bigger also :appl: Someone, I forget who, said it faces up a bit bigger maybe 1.22 so closer to one and a quarter carat :love:
 
Wow it look huge on your hand. Congratulations!!!!!
 
It is gorgeous. Congratulations. It looks lovely on your hand.
 
Thank you marcy and OCgirl! I was afraid I was going to think it looked tiny but I was really happy the first time I put it on :D
 
Also, a HUGE Thank You to the staff at James Allen! Top notch customer service :appl: :appl:
 
Amazing - looks waaaay bigger than 1.17 ct!
 
Thanks! and thank you for helping me decide to get it :naughty:
 
Gorgeous upgrade!! :love:

Enjoy!

Cachette :))

Thank you all for the kind words :)) I am going to see if I can figure out how to take better photos!
 
Congratulations on your new Upgrade! :appl: :appl: :appl:

I won't lie, mine's 1.15, and in casual conversation if it comes up with someone not into diamonds or bling or whatever, I just say a carat and a quarter.
 
Haha Ame! I did tell the people at work 1.25 :tongue: They have no idea what I am talking about when I blabber on about diamonds anyway LOL
My one coworker gets interested but then laughs and says I am giving her too much information :lol:
 
Congratulations on your upgrade! All of your rings are beautiful and your ER looks huge on your hand! Enjoy!
 
That whole set looks terrific together. Center stone looks really BIG on you!!! Congratulations!!!
 
beautiful!
 
I always love this combination! :love:
 
It does look huge on you! I have big fingers (8) so I'm so jealous of all you little finger gals around here. My bling has to be twice as big to look half as big. haha It's gorgeous, I'm so happy that you are having fun with it. I love your eternity too btw, they look great together!
 
Thank You Thank You Thank you!!!

I have decided I am going to get my ring resized though. I am a size 5 and ordered a 5 1/2 but it just spins too much :(sad
JA is going to send me a FedEx label next week. I also decided to go back to my local jeweler and have the eternity band resized also, sigh.

I keep trying to take better photos but so far, no luck.
 
Congrats to your new upgrade, it's beautiful! :appl:
 
that is the classy, timeless set right there! BEAUTIFUL!
 
Beautifull!!! Love it!!!! :appl:
