The Marquise Bridal Set She''ll Be Getting

[Cohiba]

Finally, my quest to find a gorgeous Marquise center stone is over.

When I originally came to this site, you guys and gals saved me. I was about to drop 2k on a center stone that was way too shallow and glassy looking. After some great tips, education and research, Mark Turnowski help me acquire this diamond. I had already acquired the bridal set, but I was taking my time with the center stone. Thanks to everyone's input, I got the best diamond I could acquire for the woman that means everything to me. I will propose to her this weekend at a Hawaiian Luau in Waikiki (see my thread https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/proposal-hawaiin-luau.39842/ ).

Here's the specs on the diamond and also some pics. Sorry for the picture quality, but I don't have a macro feature on my camera.

That marquise centerstone was WELL worth the wait - it''s a stunner! Very sparkly, clearly well cut - not a hint of a bowtie in the pics. And that wedding set is going to bling her socks off. Good luck at your very romantic proposal!!!!

She will love it! It is so sweet that you are giving it to her as a set.

 

[ForteKitty]

Wow, I LOVE it!!!

 

[moon river]

I love it. I have always loved the marquis even though its popularity faded there for awhile. They are coming back in style I believe.

 

[aphisiglovessae]

WOW! I''ve never been a big fan of marquise diamonds, but this set may change my mind!

 

[Jelly]

Wow! So beautiful! You need sunglasses to protect your eyes from all that sparkle!

Beautiful set and diamond! Those specs are similar to my marquise and I was just in the market for a new setting. She's going to love it. I chose round and baguette diamonds this time to surround my center. It looks stunning!

 

[lumpkin]

That''s such a beautiful and classic set! I love the marquise. You got a really good one!

 

[Cohiba]

Thanks for all the compliments. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. When I picked out the setting I liked its simplicity and the potential blingage effect it would create with just the right center stone. Who says fancy cuts can''t be all that brilliant?

 

[princessv]

Very lovely!! It looks huge and blingy

She''s going to love it!

 

[Kaleigh]

What a stunning set. She will flip when she sees this. Good luck with the proposal. Make sure you come back here with hand pics. I love that marquise, Yummm.

I''m not usually a fan of marquise diamonds, but this set definitely makes me a fan!

I agree! That is a beautiful marquise, and that is an awesome set! She is a lucky girl, and you have great taste!

She said yes and was floored by the ring. Thanks everyone! I often catch her staring at the ring. We work together and many clients comment on the ring. One even told her that she was blinding them while we were sitting out in the sunlight. LOL!
