[KBerly]

[solange]

Stunning set. It must look great on your hand. I am sure you will get many compliments.

 

[FireGoddess]

Those baguette pairs really complement the beauty of the EC center stone. Maybe I''m used to seeing just single baguettes flanking, or smaller ones, but the overall look of your rings is phenomenal!!!!

Hi everyone!!

Maxine was nice enough to post the pictures for me as for some reason I was getting error messages?!

This set was a 10-year anniversary upgrade from my husband (our anniversary is actually in 3-1/2 months, so it was early, but who cares?!). Here are the specs of the center stone:

GIA Cert dated 1/24/05

EMERALD CUT
7.09 x 5.05 x 3.33
1.03 Carat
Depth: 65.9%
Table: 62%
Girdle: Thin to Medium
Culet: None
Polish: VG
Symmetry: Good
Clarity: VS1
Color: E
Fluor: None

The wedding set is an additional
1.23 carats
H color
VS2 or higher clarity
It''s actually 2 baguettes for each section butted up side-by-side with one another, making it look like 1 big baguette for each section.
Even the appraiser couldn''t believe how much I paid for the setting as he said there''s NO way he could have met that price!!

I''ll get hand shots as soon as I can...I tried the other night and they didn''t do the set justice!!! So I''ll try again today and then post (if the website will let me!!)

Thanks for all the compliments!! I can''t stop staring at it when it''s on my hands! In the sunlight, there are prsims everywhere!!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

Okay...the hand shots are here!!! I have several, but this is the first!!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

DAAAAAAAAYUM!

 

[sevens one]

There you go again Ame- crackin me up.

Love that set. It''s a beauty

 

[AChiOAlumna]

Thanks everyone!! I''m still walking around in a daze...my mom almost fell over when she heard it was an E/VS1!!

The jeweler who set the diamond had to reset the entire set due to needing to downsize the bands a 1/2 size and wasn''t happy about it, but they upheld the contract without charging me additional monies...now THAT''s professionalism!!

I was able to get an interim insurance policy for it until the appraisal papers come in (should get them in the next day or so) so I can wear my ring and at least know it has my "at cost" coverage for now....

It''s definitely more than I ever expected I''d ever get...I feel so lucky right now!!

 

[MelissaSue]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh.. me want!! Love love the emerald cut.

 

[Maxine]

E-VS1!!! No wonder it looks so clean...it is!! It''s a beautiful stone...

 

[belle]

it''s soooo pretty achioalumna!! i am very happy for you!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

Hi everyone!!

I got the appraisal in from my GIA certified appraiser...all I can say is W

W!!! The appraisal came in at over twice what we paid!! And this is just an appraisal for insurance purposes!! I could only imagine what a full appraisal would cost!!

Again..I just want to thank everyone for their feedback and support on my journey...without your help, I would have known how to find my perfect EC!!!
