Van Craeynest 810 & GOG AVC

[Tuckins1]

Oh my lord, I am absolutely dr ling over that stone!!!

 

[tyty333]

Just lovely! Such a sweet and dainty setting!

 

[lightningbug]

Sigh. I've been waiting for somebody to put an AVC into that setting, and the outcome is just as lovely as I'd imagined. It's a beautiful and classy work of art. Congratulations! Do we get hand shots?

 

[legra]

So beautiful! Gorgeous AVC in an exquisite setting. Would love to see hand shots. Congratulations!

 

[sunseeker101]

Ladies your wish is my command, though these pics are grainy-er and feature my less-than-dainty hand (size 7.5 finger!) The shank of the ring is 2.5 mm, so for viewing pleasure please imagine a long, elegant size 6 with beautifully-painted talon

Gemgirl, the camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC HX1. I'm using the 'point and shoot' mode provided for the photographically challenged And thank you!

Lightningbug, you must have a great eye for style inflections. We didn't have too much of a clue about the specific match!

Your diamond looks incredible!!! That is a really unique setting. It goes perfectly with your new diamond. Congrats!

 

[MonkeysInk]

It's totally gorgeous - can't wait to see some hand shots!

 

[sunseeker101]

Thank you H&A girl!

MonkeysInk, the handshots are just above. I know they're not the best -- but are they that bad?! lol j/k

 

[oddoneout]

Both setting and diamond are beautiful.

 

[AnneinGA]

Both are beautiful. I have never seen a setting so delicate and unique. I know you'll be proud to wear it!

 

[Skippy123]

One of the most beeeeautiful rings I have ever seen on PS!!! Congrats; the details are amazing

 

[Andelain]

That's pretty!

 

[MishB]

The setting and the diamond are beautiful, together they are divine!!

 

[princessplease]

Gorgeous!!!!!!!

 

[Rowan]

Your ring is just stunning!!!

 

[ecf8503]

That's beautiful! Is it by chance set East-West? In some shots it looks wider than it is tall (is it a square stone)?

 

[sunseeker101]

Aw Ladies, thank you all for your lovely comments! Could do with a :bunch of flowers: smiley for this

Ecf, you're right on the money with that! We gave VC the okay to set the stone in whichever orientation looked best... so I suspect the slightly elongated (6.37mm Vs 6.25mm) side was selected to make better proportion with the size 7.5 ring. Nicely spotted Here's one comparing it with a 1.6ct G round (for interest) and an Idealscope of the stone in setting:

 

[SparklyOEC]

I love the setting that the 1.6 round is in too! Is that, by any chance, a Single Stone setting? You have two beautiful rings!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Wow, gorgeous diamond and gorgeous ring!!

 

[sunseeker101]

Thank you, SparklyOEC and Diamond Dana!

Sparkly, the other ring is a VC too, style no. 1007. There are some better pics on the 'Show me some Van Craeynest' thread on page 25. I love Single Stone settings (and stones ) too. Maybe one of these days...

 

[Lula]

Gorgeous diamonds and settings, and great photos, too! I love the detail on the settings. Congratulations on your AVC.

 

[katedrac]

Great combination, congratulations.

 

[portia]

Wow! That setting and your AVC go together perfectly. Gorgeous!!

 

[Cachette]

Beautiful!! I never tire of those AVC's!!! Your other ring is very pretty also!!

Cachette

 

[DragonEyce]

Wow very nice! Love the AVC + VC combo...Its perfectly delicate and dainty and antiquey Oh and the round in the 1007 setting is equally amazing

 

[AnitaT]

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing pictures. Perfect combination!

HI:

Devine!

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Oooh love the new pics! I actually think the diamond size looks really really good on your hand, because you can see the band detail better - overall, just a wonderful, elegant combination. Congrats!

 

[sunseeker101]

Thanks again, ladies. Your kindly comments are much appreciated!

I posted up the comparison of J with G to highlight the value of going for a lower color in an antique (style) cut. The 1.1 J ring was 1/4 the total price of the (platinum) G ring -- but it doesn't give a quarter of the impression. Old-fashioned cuts in lower colors for the win! This is what I've gleaned from the experiment anyway

Will re-post the pics in the "Show me some VC" thread now. Thank you all

ETA: B.E.G. Thanks for posting some pics to your AVC-dedicated thread. It was your thread that hypnotized us into making this foray in the first place!

 

[Grlsbestfrnd]

WOW! It's perfect, congrats!
