Transitional Solitaire 1.40 ct L SI1 (EGL)

[Jean_Jean]

I’ve actually had this ring since 2017. It was purchased from Ivy & Rose and I bought it with the intention of trading up someday, but I’m so attached to it now I’m not sure if I actually will. I love the facet pattern so much, even though I’m still battling DSS! Anyhoo, here are a few of my favorite pics along with a vendor pic/close-up.

I love it, and it's my sweet spot range for size! Beautifully symmetrical in pattern and warm
I want to know where you found that yellow band as I've been looking for something like it.

*second thought- just hand it over, yup all of it.

 

[missy]

It’s gorgeous ❤
That facet pattern is so yummy!
If you are struggling with DSS perhaps consider halo-ing her? Or a 3 stone transitional yummy ring?

 

[Roselina]

Seriously, I would never ever let go of that stone if I were you!

 

[tyty333]

It is very pretty! I see why you hesitate to trade it in (I would too)!

 

[mrs-b]

What a glorious diamond! Three stone? Cluster, perhaps, if you'd like to go up in size?

And yes!! Please tell us where you got that yellow gold band! It's gorgeous!

I am SO glad you've made a thread on this most beautiful stone!

The facet pattern is perfection & I'm right with you - I'd never give this one up
Can we see some more pictures & a profile shot?

Aww! Thanks!

The yellow gold band is made by Bowman Originals, but it was an ebay find. I searched for a long time for just the right 18k laurel leaf band and I'm sooo glad I snagged this one.

I hadn't really thought of a 3 stone, but that's a good idea!

Thanks! It's a Bowman Originals band, but I found it on ebay.

Gorgeous! I'd love to see some profile shots too!

 

[Roselina]

May I ask the diameter of the stone? It seems rather big to me.

 

[Sprinkles&Stones]

So beautiful, the faceting is amazing!

It's 7.10 x 7.19 on a size 5. Sometimes I think it looks bigger in pics than it does in real life.

Here are some profile shots:

Ugh, it's a ridiculously perfect setting.

 

[PreRaphaelite]

Ugh, it's a ridiculously perfect setting.

I agree with this statement! Absolutely gorgeous setting and what an amazing stone!

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

I agree with this statement - now how do I go about having one made #justLikeThisOne

I know, right?! I admit, I already 'stole' her profile shots for my folder

 

[PreRaphaelite]

I edited my comment because I could answer my own question! (Send that pic to David Klass and *poof* instant dress for Edwina!)

I hope you don’t mind, @Jean_Jean - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all!

 

[jaaron]

It's so beautiful. The facets and colours and mesmerising. If it was mine, I wouldn't change a thing.

 

[motownmama]

Amazing stone. Love the low setting too.

 

[iluvshinythings]

Perfect faceting and the setting is also perfection. I would have a hard time letting that one go too.

 

[maita13]

I echo everyone’s sentiments here RE gorgeous facet pattern!

IT IS PERFECT! Don‘t let go of it!

I can see why it grew on you if that was your original intention! Please don’t force yourself to upgrade for the sake of upgrading! It’s beautiful as it is. That said, each time that I have moved forward with an upgrade, I have been motivated to do so by a very compelling reason! First it was size. Then it was cut. Then it was clarity. Like I knew it was time. Sounds like you aren’t there yet and nothing wrong with that!

 

[foxinsox]

Omg that stone is glorious - the faceting is perfect and I LOVE the setting. Your stacks are bang on as well - love them all!! Thank you for posting pictures of them. I wouldn’t trade that stone unless it was for its bigger sister. Seriously perfect

Thanks for this advice. It really puts things into perspective. I think I’ll be holding on to this one for a while longer.

Your diamond and setting are divine. Would you share where you got your setting made?

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

Echoing the sentiments here: beautiful stone, love the setting. And the bubble band and the 18k laurel band. All divine!
