It''s finally done! I am SO happy with how this turned out and I know it will burn a hole in my pocket until I give it to my girlfriend. Ok, so this is an 1.752 carat H VS2 H&A from Good Old Gold put in a custom setting of 10 pointers. We liked the "U" shape of the setting and my jeweler (local guy on jewelers row in Chicago) thought to make the head "U" shaped as well. And it turned out great. woo hoo!! (Thanks Sarah at GOG too! You are really the best!)

She wanted round with diamonds on the side in eternity and I took it from there. I''m proud of my work here and lots of thanks goes to PS and this forum for the research help!

See, this is exactly why I love this forum and all y''all (southerners will know "all y''all" is plural for "y''all"). The support and positive comments make me feel all that much better and excited about such a big purchase (and meaning behind the purchase).

I will surely come back with hand shots in due time. I can''t wait. She''s totally worth it and deserves the best.
