I'm so glad you like it, @bludiva!

This became a permanent setting a while back. It's got so much love and effort in it, and I absolutely adore how it turned out. I can't imagine a prettier solitaire setting that I'd like better than this one. So this is it for me - unless I segue to a 3 stone. But even if I *were* to do a three stone, I don't see it happening with this stone, so I think one will remain as is. This really is my Beloved. ::)

@mrs-b, I love the modifications you've made to the ring! It was beautiful before but I really do love the slight taper and rounded shank. Such a gorgeous setting and diamond :love:

Thank you so much, @junebug17! There are a bunch of new photos in the Beloved thread, if you're interested. It's a beautiful ring - takes a fabulous photo!

Yes @mrs-b , you *have* to...:lol: and so glad you did. This version knocks it out of the park. Congratulations on this amazing, jawdropping stone and ring!

Thanks so much, @LLJsmom :wavey: As well as rounding the shank, I also added a second wrap to the solitaire, to make it a little more prominent/obvious. I really like it. The basket is untouched and those fleur-de-lys prongs retain their original perfection. The decals on the backs of each ring are still there.

The five stone ring became a seven stone ring and was reset more tightly - also with a rounded shank. There was also a single prong that wasn't perfectly symmetrical, so that was fixed when the whole ring was redone. If you're interested in seeing it, it's in the 'Beloved' thread.

At the moment I'm sending both me and Amy crazy over the plain gold band to finish the set. I seriously would not take me as a client if I were a jeweler....

Awww - thank you, @LLJsmom! Just thought I'd add a couple more of it with its final wedder, which isn't in the previous photos, and also one of its gorgeous, gorgeous profile!

ETA. Still thinking about turning it into a three stone. Not any time soon, but we'll see.... :mrgreen:

It’s just under 4ct and this ring is 5.25 (I wear anything from 5-5.5). Here’s the thread!

#JOTW - My almost 4 carat Old Euro Diamond holy grail ring!!!!

Well I am over the moon! For my next bling project I started putting away funds for what I thought was going to be a diamond stud upgrade, but then I started thinking that if I were going to spend that amount of money, that I want to be able to SEE it, and that an even larger engagement ring is...
