PICS of my ring!

[Pretty Princess]

Hi everyone. I''m new here. Been peeping around for the the past month. My fiance and I were engaged near the end of February. I live in NJ. He lives in CA. It''s been a long road, with a longer road still... Hopefully, everything will work out with my transfer to CA! We both work for Uncle Sam, so we''re hoping he''ll give us a compassionate consideration!

Anyway, here are the pics. I borrowed the camera from my dad, and just learned to use it. Whoever suggested using a magnifying glass...it works! It''s a princess set in platinum. It sparkles like crazy, and shoots all sorts of rainbows in the right light. The only thing that bothers me is the color

It''s very square, so don''t let the warped rectangular pic fool you

I''ve enjoyed browsing this board, and learned a lot. I hope you enjoy!

Agreed with Coleen!!! YAY Square stones!!!! Congrats Pretty Princess on your lovely Princess!!! May you always wear it in good health and with a big pair of sunglases for all those diamond sparkles!

That's a stunning ring!

 

[Patty]

It's very pretty! I love the setting. It's unique and classy looking.

 

[Pretty Princess]

Thanks for the replies! I forgot to mention there's .32 carats of round brilliants all along the sides of the center stone. I can't wait to pick out the wedding bands!

Can anyone recommend a wedding band that would go with this?...although I think I need to have one custom made so it will fit around the two bands wrapping around the band on either side of the center stone.

Does it look 'wrong' or is the letter on the cert a much worse sight than the awesome

ring?

I am not known for my admiration for colorless stones... One thing I could say is that the setting does the most possible to emphasize the ever-so-slight tint in the stone. The sides of the diamond are exposed, and that is where color is most obvious, not 'face-up' where the fiery reflections get the upper hand

The center stone is set very high. Making the diamond look seriously whiter could mean a trip to the jeweler to set the center stone lower, so that the sides are covered by the mounting.

Go K! You're not alone. I wear one too. (Actually, mine's a K/L, probably closer to L.)

That's a lovely ring - a pretty princess, indeed!
How can the color bother you with all the sparkles & rainbows shooting out of it?

that's my kinda color!

Thanks for sharing the photos!!
Best of luck in your move!
