And here is the wax of my band...I wanted my band and e-ring to sit flush and I wanted half-eternity style pave. I think it is going to be fantastic! BTW this will be in 18kt yellow gold with a platinum head. The band and e-ring are 3MM. I will dig up the specs on the melees (all ACAs of course)

Oh my gosh. I was wondering if there was a thread on this since I saw your avatar, LLL!

I LOVE THAT STONE!! I have seen it on the site for a while and trust me, if you had not snapped it up, I was eyeing it for 2006. I love the size, 8.91mm oh my gosh!!!

The pictures of it are awesome too, the hand shots it looks really eye-clean which is just fab. I know that the plot looked kind of icky which is maybe why it''s hung around so long, kudos to you for taking a chance and it looks like it will pay off fabulously.

Love the rings too. Custom design is the best IMO...I love designing my own stuff. I love when the heads are softer and ''cup'' the ring...so beautiful!! I like the WF Tiffany 6 prong head, I would do something like that for the he head...it''s a bit softer than the wax shows. Unless maybe that''s what it''s going to look like when done and polished? Sometimes it''s hard to tell in the waxes.

So the real Q is when will it be done! I wish we''d seen the wax when we were there!

Hey Mara! I have not approved the wax yet, as I did have some slight reservations about the prongs. I am awaiting another pic with the stone placed in the prongs before I give the go ahead or make any mods. I agre the plot looked scary but when I compared the plot to the 40X mag pic I was more at ease, and then after speaking with Brian, even more so b/c I had two other stones that were $2.5k-$3.5k more expensive and he told me straight up this is fabolous and was his pick. I know he wouldn''t jerk me around so I went with it! Also, one thing to really put in perspective is he told me that the magnified picture is probably bigger than the palm of my hand (which it was), he said think about the actual scale of the diamond, which is probably the size of a finger tip and that helps put the inclusions in perspective. Plus where the clouds show on the right there will be a prong, but he said he could not see them anyway. So I''m not concerned at all. Great bang for the buck I think hehehe!

Oh and I have not approved the wax yet, but I think 2-3 weeks for completion after I approve it?

See I''m just not the biggest fan of the ''stark'' stiff 6 prongs that alot of rings have, I love when rings curve a bit and cup to hold the stone. Kind of like that 3 prong W that I posted in our trip to WF thread...the prongs on that one had a bit of a curve rather than straight/stiff. Esp for larger stones, I think that is a fabulous way to show off a great head!!! I would look around on their site and other sites and see if any other heads on rings appeal to you and maybe you can really be custom with the head creation. Love it!

All I can say is WOW!!! The stone looks awesome. I don''t see any inclusions in the magnified hand shot. Is it SI2? What''s the color? With an 8.9 mm spread, OMG, I would love that!!!!

I think the only "prong mods" Id make would be a) make them less stiff, and b) rotate so that there is one prong at 9 and one at 3 and then the rest at 11, 1, 5, 7.

LLL, WOW, that is one lovely stone. I love the pics of it in Brian''s hand (I think it''s his). It really shows its pedigree. Simply gorgeous. Now, tell us the color and clarity, so that we can have that info too. We are info junkies here you know. I do think that the wax is really lovely. It''s so going to showcase that monster!

Good luck with waiting.

LOVE your stone...and I love seeing the wax. I think your rings are going to be fabulous. I agree with mara, espcially since you''re going custom it would be really nice to do something more "romantic" with the head rather than the common look. Definitely seeing pics with your stone will help. Whether you change it or not I still think it is going to be an amazing set. i tried on a pave knife edge Tacori set and it was yummy.

LLL - your ring and diamond are stunning. And thats just the wax!
After seeing the eye candy from Mara and Aljdewey''s visit to WF and that gorgeous champagne yellow gold ring, I can see yellow gold and small diamonds look very pretty - very luxurious yet feminine compared to the colder colours of white metal. It would be interesting to see how this works with a more structured head vs a "softer head".
Can''t wait to see what you decide...

I went through this, too, with prongs, and I found the buttercup style prongs to be much more to my liking. The just felt more fluid and "softer".
