The Forum Engagement Ring Folder/Eye Candy

Just went back and looked at your thread! Holy Moly, that ring is gorgeous. It looks beautiful on your hand. Very modern and yet also kind of art-deco! Reminds me of the Chrysler building.

Thank you! That’s what I was going for

I love this thread!
1.85 center diamond, two side diamonds .50 each- wedding band 1 carat total. I received a canary diamond for Christmas - my jeweler and I are working on designing a band for it- I will post that when it is done

This is my 2.57ct D/VVS1 triple excellent GIA engagement ring. There is a faint fluorescence but looks super blue in the sun.
Will change the setting at some point.

GORGEOUS. A D. Don't cry about the fluor. Some people love and specifically look for fluor. Enjoy your beautiful ring.

OMG A 2.5 CARAT D VVS1?!

I think I just fainted from the amazingness LOLLLLLL.

Exactly my first thoughts. A D, VVS1 in >2Ct?

I want the job your fiancé has! Beautiful, classical ring and a diamond very, very, very few people would be able to match.

Thank you! Over the years I feel like fluorescence is taboo so I get really down about it considering how much I paid.

Mine is also somewhere between faint to medium blue under a blacklight/UV light, despite the AGS cert saying fluor is negligible. I posted about how my diamond looks super blue in sunshine and people assured me this happens to all diamonds when they are reflecting the blue sky. So, don't stress - that's probably all that's happening. You can buy a UV flashlight on amazon relatively cheap and check to see exactly how much fluor you even have - I bet it's not making any difference in performance. Your ring is beautiful!

Good heavens. Speechless here

 

by nala » Feb 14, 2018

So sweet!! Given your beauties, that’s a real compliment!

 

by HappyNewLife » Feb 15, 2018

is it me, or does this photo make your diamond look like 4 carats. Holy cats!

 

by nala » Feb 15, 2018

Lol. It’s the chunky halo setting, I tell you!

Still dying over here. This is another PS ring I would like to meet IRL.

 

by Maggiemeans » Feb 22, 2018

Lovely ring... but what's the situation with the bracelet? I like it!!!

 

by JPie » Feb 23, 2018

Crisscut cushion, 1.03 carats, F color, VVS1. Custom setting by Kataoka.

 

by bludiva » Feb 23, 2018

so unique!

 

by JPie » Feb 23, 2018

Thanks! I think it looks better in person, but unfortunately I don't have any good modeling shots.

 

by starrysim » Feb 23, 2018

Would love to see a hand shot of this one!

 

by JPie » Feb 24, 2018

Found one!



Not a hand shot, but shown with my other Kataoka rings and earrings:

 

by Eli22 » Feb 24, 2018

So gorgeous @JPie

 

by Crystal_Dreams » Feb 24, 2018

So glad to see another fan of kataoka’s work on PS! I saw your crisscut snowflake on their Instagram ages ago and spent the longest time trying to find out more... lucky!! It’s beautiful!

 

by JPie » Feb 24, 2018

Thank you!

Thank you! Definitely a huge fan of him. I had a horrible experience getting the previous setting for this stone made, and I was actually starting to regret getting a crisscut cushion. The Kataoka setting made me fall in love with the cut all over again.

 

by Crystal_Dreams » Feb 24, 2018

Kataoka’s stuff is gorgeous and unique... it’s also terribly expensive as well which is my main issue lol..! But no one else can do pieces like that...

Can you please start a SMTB thread with all your gorgeous pieces?! I would LOVE to see them!!

 

by JPie » Feb 24, 2018

His prices go up every year so I use it as an excuse to get what I love before it's even more expensive. The crown ring with rosecut diamonds was $3,250 when I got it in 2014, and now it's $5,380! Crazy.

I just moved most of my jewelry to the safe deposit box so I'll start a thread when I have a chance to go.

Hello PS friends!

I just got engaged yesterday (still in a daze)! Enjoy the photos- a 1.5 G Crafted By Infinity (CBI) diamond (Finger size 4)! The pictures don't do it justice- it's sooo sparkly in person!
