I really like oxidized silver and black gold. It adds a bit of depth to a stack. Would you mind sharing where you got this?

I think it looks great together with the sapphire and blackened gold bands...but I also love it with just the blackened band alone. So beauteous either way!

Ooooh, what kind of CS do you have in mind?? I recently got a Victorian ring with an itty bitty tsavorite garnet (it might be 3mm) and I am totally digging the vibrant but deep green. I could totally see your ring paired with a tsavorite eternity band in blackened gold....or perhaps ruby or rhodolite garnet! YUM.

It’s really uncanny how you know exactly what I’m thinking, KD! I was checking out a 1.3mm eternity ring yesterday and was mulling over purchasing it but held off because...wait for it...I was thinking about looking for a ruby eternity instead after seeing Bonfire’s rings in the SOTD thread yesterday.
You are scaring me, woman:eek2::lol-2:❤!!

Edited to add: I’d love to see your Victorian tsavorite ring, @KristyDarling! Post pics of her, please!

Thank you, @Tekate...there is something enchanting about this cut. I’m particularly mesmerized by the “hall of mirrors” effect and get lost in the long, linear facets of these stones.
I’m sorry about your mom...we’ll always have wonderful memories of our loved ones that no one can ever take away from us❤️

Hi, @Emrldlvr! I had your thread on RT re your search. My center has a ratio of 1.32, measuring
9.85 x 7.45mm with a depth of 68% and table 63%. I would have gone with a larger spread and lower depth if it meant giving me a bigger spread. DSS is very real; but at that time I wasn't paying all that much attention to details. There are stones with a larger table that are showstoppers. I think there's quite a few here on PS.

Good luck with your search, E! I'm sure you'll find the right one- you have all the help you need in finding THE ONE.

Edit to add: Don't go strictly by the numbers. Some are good on paper but are lackluster IRL. Videos and pics help tremendously in choosing. My sides were chosen this way and they're fiery! They both have a larger table over depth.

Thank you for the insight and encouragement! I’m so happy I found this site. People have been tremendously helpful. What does DSS stand for? And your ring is so fiery! I could see in the videos

Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome :lol:

I kid you not...I thought my stone was big enough...but now I’ve awoken from my stupor, nothing is ever big enough for me:lol-2:

Seriously though, your eyes will never deceive you. Looking at numerous videos and photos can be very daunting and tedious at times but it’ll help you sort/weed out choices. I ended up with the ones I gravitated to the most, the ones I kept going back to regardless of the depth/table rule. The sides are no less fiery than my center. And they’re only 1.01 ct each but I sometimes feel they make my center smaller:twisted2:. And oh, please only deal with reputable vendors - I cannot emphasize this enough.

Let me see if I can find PSer rings for you...I know there’s a couple of STUNNINg rings that defy the table/depth rules. Stay tuned...

HA! Yes, I love it! DSS for sure! I can't believe those side stones are 1c! They look so large! And, there are stones I definitely keep going back to, but I think it is because I know they measure bigger:p I have to go through Blue Nile. My husband purchased my ring there 10 years ago, so we are using the upgrade program. Thank you for looking out for me though!

Awesome!! Glad you can avail of the upgrade policy. Here’s one example of the larger table/shallower depth.

Just remember that these are rare birds but so long as you keep an open mind, you’ll be fine. Good luck and excited for you!! Don’t forget to post your find! And thanks for stopping by...

Thank you Maita13. This is a beautiful ring. Definitely shows the beauty is in the rock and not the numbers!

I took the plunge! I finally received the images of the stone I was waiting for and It looks beautiful to me magnified at least! The table is greater than the depth, not by much though, so we shall see!! I will post when I receive! Thank you for your help and your rock inspiration! Makes me want to add those side stones to mine on my next upgrade:p

I’m blown away by this community. Everyone has been so kind thus far! I read your post as before I was just enchanted by the magnificence on your finger. I’m an oncology nurse and a mother of sons so your story hit home. So happy that you have this thing of beauty to marvel at. Wishing you all the best !
