Hi everyone, I'm finally getting around to sharing my OEC upgrade thanks to the amazing Erica at LAD. I can't say enough great things about her customer service, pure love for antique diamonds, and unconditional commitment to making diamond lovers like us happy! I've had my upgrade since March, and have committed to my husband that this is my final upgrade, and really I could not be happier. It is a 3.03 M VS set in LAD's "Julia" solitaire which I've been adoring. I have thought about resetting down the line, but right now am very much happy living in solitaire bliss for the time being :)

Without further delays: photos! :kiss2:

Ahhhh.... Just utterly dreamy!! And it's really an M?? Can you see any body colour from the side? It looks so white! I'm glad you have finally found your forever stone. The facet pattern is beautiful. Everything is perfect, even the setting. Profile shots!

(And also, if you don't mind me asking, what nail varnish are you rocking on the pictures from today? It's so clean, bright & natural!)

I was wondering when you'd post your upgrade! It's gorgeous!:love::love::love: Love it in the 8 prong Julia from LAD! As I think you know, I also adored your original Casablanca ring, but I can also understand the desire for a larger solitaire! Ideally it would be nice to have both, because I find it hard to narrow it down to just one ring style!:lol:

Sweetpea, That is really beautiful on you, just so truly lovely. And you've got such beautiful hands too. I have been trying to articulate why I love OECs so much and yours is such a perfect example of their beauty. Because they have more color than colorless diamonds, they are just more THERE, in my eyes, more present. How can a stone be "present"? I don't know. But your stone is so lovely. And you can really focus in t in a solitaire. Congratulations on a stupendous upgrade!!

I haven't really thought of it that way before, but I absolutely agree with you.
