I realized that I never posted better pictures of my engagement ring so here you go
.57 carat center stone J/VS2 purchased from Good Old Gold (LOVE them!!)
Platinum/18kt rose gold setting with pink diamond halo and sides
Total carat weight is 1.11
Ring size 5.5 for reference
And for fun, the promise ring from Zales that I wore for about 2 years... really makes you appreciate honest places like Good Old Gold that make the process so painless. Still great memories nonetheless but the quality difference amazes me!
.50 ctw
No idea color or clarity but after looking through my loupe, I assume somewhere in the I''s and probably J or K in color.
Thanks so much everyone - with every passing day I love it more and more. Just waiting on DSS to set in - hopefully it doesn't anytime soon
luv2sparkle - It is similar to the Beaudry but without the engraving and a couple other small differences.
slg47 - I agree - it does look larger than I originally thought it would (always a bonus, right??) lol
hot ice - Thank you - you have my DREAM ring though!!!
gemgirl - I WISH I could do a pink diamond/rose gold band. I'm actually allergic to anything gold so I won't be going that route. The only reason I can wear this ring is because only the platinum touches my skin. I'll actually be going with the Whiteflash Danielle band in platinum below:
getting excited - The color was a pleasant surprise - I never expected a J to look so white. Definitely sticking to those from now on since I'm not that color sensitive (lucky me!!)
