Hi ladies,

It's been a while since I've been active on this board, but I do still lurk every now and then, commenting and ogling the new pretties people post.

Now I have my own new pretty to submit for your ogling pleasures! :)

When my husband and I got married four years ago, we chose a European honeymoon over a diamond wedding band. It was always the plan to upgrade my plain 2mm pipe cut platinum band to a diamond one, but along the way I had a hard time deciding what kind of band I wanted (channel set? microwave? milgrain? so many decisions!) and no one ring really spoke to me. Then I went to grad school, which ate up for a fair bit of our cash (I graduated in Feb! WOO HOO!!!).

One day, while in a local jeweler's to have my husband wedding band repaired, I finally saw it: my dream ring. A 7-stone prong set .60 tcw curved diamond band set in platinum. I fell completely in love and on a whim, pointed the ring out to my husband, making it clear that when the time finally came to upgrade my ring, that was exactly what I wanted.

I just turned 29 on March 17th. My husband, being the amazing and thoughtful man he is, gave me my dream ring as my present. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting it just yet, but I am very, VERY happy with it!! :love: :twirl:

So, onto the pictures!!

My original set, with my plain pipe cut wedding band (e-ring is 1.33 tcw).


My new set, with my 7-stone .60 tcw diamond band (size 4.25).


The ring on its own.


Thanks for looking! Have a great day, everyone :))

Thanks so much, everyone! It really was a great birthday for so many reasons (sparkles notwithstanding).

I love that they look made for each other as well. The two couldn't have worked better together!

It's such a sunny day today, so I was motivated to take advantage of the natural light and give my new ring a little photo shoot! This combo sparkles like crazy :love:

It is a blue asscher! It took my husband a while to find one, but when he did, he found a beautiful one! I love it so much. Thanks for the kind words :))
