My Alex Park 2.75 F VS1. I’m having it reset by David Klass soon. I’ll have tapered baguettes on either side. I also bought the two diamonds from Alex to have studs made by David, they’re 2.05cttw.

I've been wondering when this ring would manifest! This is truly exciting. It looks amazing. The N/S orientation worked perfectly with your diamond.

A few shots of my new MRB from Ritani! I was pleasantly surprised by the setting, considering the very reasonable pricing.

And yes the huge-ness shock has worn off and I think I’ll keep it

Great picture - the diamond is gorgeous!

4.20 FVS1 upgrade from 1.8.. Wife says it's huge (she wanted that size!) but we'll see if we keep it! Too big for everyday ring or...?

I think it looks great! I find that the spread is no problem but the height of the setting can be a factor. I may reset into something lower profile- you could consider that, maybe.

What a beautiful ring!! Love it!!

Thank you!!

Not too big! Wait till she asks for an upgrade!

I am digging how everyone is rocking these awesome honking rings

@oncrutchesrightnow I was thinking the exact same thing!!! I love seeing these BIG beautiful rings and they look right at home on their hands.

I tried to reply to the above, but it didn’t work.

JANNPAUL Decagon 10 H&A AGS 000 VS1 E 2.44 carat in a platinum 2.8mm setting with 134 signature super idela cut melees (1.58 carat) .

Anniversary gift: 2.08 ct I VVS2 lab grown (CVD) HCA 1.4. Original ring is 1.5 ct natural mined (pictured side by side in one pic: not for comparison, but because the new stone shows arrows nicely in the pic). Will simply say we learned a lot about cut proportions and precision after initial (very expensive) purchase.

Specs for anniversary stone are included in pics of cert and HCA results below.

After receiving this ring — halfway through return window — I came across GCAL 8x through targeted ads for Black Friday sales. Went down a rabbit hole of ‘there must be even better out there’ for same $$. And of course there is… there always will be… Example - Ritani stone prices are far better than JA, yet their settings are not for me. Adiamor has selection of GCAL8x that has grown just in the 2 weeks I’ve been eyeing them.

I grabbed reins of sanity to remind myself that there are many beautiful and well-performing stones out there that do not have a super-ideal grading such as GCAL 8x.

In the end, we kept this ring from JA - Stone and setting were both discounted in run-up to Black Friday (yes, also aware of price jumps that predated ‘markdowns’).

I was smitten with light performance of this stone from the start. We got one other to compare - bigger and GCAL 8x. Just did not move me the same way. The second stone went very dark in different light, whereas this one does not. Second stone, at 2.52, just too big for my comfort (finger size is 4.75). DSS be damned, this ring hits all my sweet spots for size, setting, performance - it’s the one that makes my heart sing.

[REMAINING TEXT APPEARS BETWEEN PICS BELOW - NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THERE!]
This one has the right parameters for great light performance, and it lives up to expectations, especially for scintillation and fire. The setting is *perfect* - love the style, proportions, and exposure of the stone to light in this somewhat tall-sitting basket. Melee stones are natural mined, beautifully matched, and sparkle like crazy (Without benefit of a loupe or any magnification. I’m not down the hole that deeply. Yet ).
