I''m going to put a bunch of thumbnails here and a link to my page where they''re all available full-size.

Many, many rainbows off this bad girl!

This was a purchase from Good Old Gold, who did an excellent job of handling all my questions and concerns.

There are a couple of pictures where I think I see the inclusion in the center, but I''ve stared at the stone until my eyes crossed and can''t see a thing but flash.

Now I''m off to my jeweler''s to see what I''m gonna do with it!

Yay! Congratulations. I love the square cushion. It''s a good thing that all of these new hearts and arrows squares didn''t exist when I picked my stone, otherwise I never would have been able to make a decision.

Beautiful!!! I love cushions, and yours is no exception! Love the arrows, especially love the RAINBOWS!!!!

....I do NOT need another diamond..... I do NOT need another diamond.....

Woohoo, the setting I found at my jewelers is still there, will work with the stone, and can be sized up to my ginormous 9.5 fingers!

It's engraved platinum with 5 little stones on the top of either side, and 12 tiny little stones around the top of the crown, plus another 12 around the bottom, next to the finger. This setting had everything I was looking for - side stones, engraving, antique look, and little surprise-type stones which really only I will know about. I get it in 5 days!

Just gorgeous! It''s great to see the square cushion H&A in a setting (albeit a temporary one). And the setting you chose is perfect for showcasing your beautiful stone. Can''t wait to see the finished product.

[outlander]

That is a really nice looking diamond! I have been looking (alot) at diamonds. I want to get a Hearts & Arrows to put in a pendant. I can''t wait to see how your ring turns out!

My jeweler called me yesterday and my little heart went pitty pat. I thought he was going to say it was ready a day early. No such luck; he was waiting on the platinum to size the ring and it wouldn''t be in until late today, so I have to wait until tomorrow to get it. I''m about to wear a hole in the carpet, pacing!

 

[ForteKitty]

Oh, that H&A cusion is sooo beautiful!

 

[Addlepated]

More to come...

 

[belle]

more? where''s more? i need more!!!

 

[Addlepated]

My ring size is a whopping 9.5, and I was a little worried that this would be too dainty for me, but I think it came out smashingly.

 

[belle]

smashing it is!!! i think it looks *perfect* on your hand. really. you did a super job with the pics!!!

 

[flopkins]
