Ring from ERD received today!

[Lilly2013]

Please disregard my ugly hand and unpolished nails, i am so stressed out and have't had my nails done.

Let me start with the result, I do like my ring! it is a well made ring. I have ordered from bluenile and ended up returning it. Bluenile
has very good return policy, easy and fast. In comparison, EDR is far better as far as their craftsman is concerned, it is simply not at the same level. yes i did pay a premium for the ring , but i do believe the final product from ERD worthies it. And another good thing is the price for the center stone, ERD's price is comparable to bluenile if not better and actually slightly better than other venders if they have access to the same stone. (The only one that offered a even lower price on the same stone is B2C). The ring is very sparkling and bright in real life. The center stone is small and only 1.07 ct, E color, VVS2, Oval, no fluorescence. The meeles(small stones on the shank) are E color, VS( mark at ERD was not clear on whether it is vs1 or vs2, i guess they are so small and do not matter that much), the setting is called "claire", halo, split shank, micro pave. If anyone has any questions about the setting or my experience with ERD, i will be glad to help.

Claire looks beautiful on your hand Lily!!!
How are the prongs in real life. I am happy for you it worked out this way for you.
Enjoy wearing your ring

Thank u so much Acinom, after they fixed it, the prongs are smaller and thinner. Before i saw it, Chris told me the ring flows better, and it does, you can see them for sure, but only if you look very closely. They are not as small as ERD's round or cushine settings, but i believe good enough and don't affect the apparence of the ring. Overall, i am satisfied with my ring although it pushed my budget but the craftsman is indeed delicate and well done. Much better than the massive production type you get from bluenile or other vendors.

1 ct is anything but small!

About the center stone: I chose oval so I already knew it will have some bow-tie effect, just how big(or in another word how worse). i did not see the stone until today, Mark at ERD said it is a very small bow-tie, I would say it is reasonable small,
If you look down, it is like a wide line; if look it at the eye level you can see it is there, but the split shank helps a lot, the E colored melees shine nicely, the the bow-tie is within the split space and smaller, therefore, the sparkle from the melees covered it largely. Just to provide some information for girls who are interested in oval stones.

See in this pic, the bow-tie is less visible, but in the pic on top of the page, you can see it it there, it is the same ring,
Pics taking same time.

Thank you so much for your kind words, all you girls are so nice and sweet. I was not a stress free experience buying a ring from a vender in another state, regardless who deal with. I dealed with a few of them. I know my ring is not perfect perfect, but it is probably the best I can get with my budget, I did not go to the big brand names, and chose ERD in hoping to get something more "me" than the massive production type of ring. Although it is still an existing design on ERD's website, the split shank turned out to have the right space in between, the pic does not show it well, but in real life, it does not look chunky like the other split shank setting, and I has to addmit ERD did a good job on the setting, there is tinny uneveness on the micro pave, but it is so tinny, you can never tell with your nakes eye, and it is normal. Overall, I like the ring. thank you for all your support and kind words!!

Im sorry you had to go through what you did but I'm glad everything worked out in the end and you love your ring. It's a beautiful ring but it doesn't mean anything unless you love it so I'm so happy you do!
