We''re engaged!!! Oval 12-prong E-ring pictures!

[theinquisitor]

Dear Pricescopers,

I am so excited!!

My fiance and I got engaged over the holiday. He proposed on Thanksgiving with both families present. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! I could spend several threads, actually, talking about how lucky and in love I am and what an amazing man he is...!!

But I know that here at Pricescope, you also want to hear about the RING!

So, as I have no camera whatsoever, I spent some time with the scanner and finally came up with the attached pictures. Of course, given the technology used, they don't begin to do the ring justice. But hopefully you will get some idea!

We bought the loose stone (approx. 1 ct, F/SI1, ring size in the NYC diamond district, and had it custom set by an independent jeweler recommended by a friend. We gave him very little guidance, and still he managed to come up with the perfect setting for me. It is a 12-prong platinum crown setting. Unfortunately the scanner didn't pick up all of the artistry of the setting, but again, I hope you can get an idea. Personally, I'm crazy about it and can't stop staring at it.

I would like to say another "thank you!" to everyone at Pricescope who has been so helpful and patient during this process. The tutorials and threads here have been extraordinarily helpful, and everyone has been so generous with their knowledge. I know we wouldn't have had such a great outcome without your help. Thank you so much for making the most beautiful moment of my life (so far) even more beautiful. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Beauriful ring! Looks so nice on your hand. I love its clean, simple lines.
Congratulations!

HI:

Big oval fan here!

Congrats++!

cheers--Sharon

 

[theinquisitor]

Thanks, Dani. I love classic styles!

Patty, thanks, I wish I had the means to take better pictures! These don't show how white and sparkly it is.

If I get any better ones, I'll definitely post them.

canuk-gal, I've always been an oval fan, too!! I did try on some other styles while shopping, but I kept coming back to the oval!

 

[Gale]

Congratulations to you and your fiance! Your ring sure is lovely.

I had no idea anyone does those tiny progs anymore

Yours is an awesome ring. Any closeup?

 

[theinquisitor]

Thanks, Gale! I'm ecstatic!!

valeria, I love the tiny prongs. We were so happy with the diamond, we wanted a setting that wouldn't obscure it, that would show it off, but also that was secure. I will try in the near future to get some better pics, including closeups.

[theinquisitor]

Thanks so much. It is a wonderful feeling!! And I know what you mean, so many beautiful rings... I''m a particular fan of the cushions, myself!

 

[Jennifer5973]

What an elegant, beautiful stone and setting!

It also looks lovely on you!

I like ovals more and more and just think they are so feminine.

 

[reena]

congratulations!

i love the 12 prong!

 

[theinquisitor]

Jennifer, thank you so much! I have always loved the oval, too. I'm not sure why -- I guess at some level these things are just emotional and possibly subconscious in origin!

Thanks -- any praise from Reeyonce is high praise indeed!!

 

[headlight]

A definite heirloom!

theinquisitor,

do you have a close up of the oval diamond with the 12 prongs? I had never seen a 12 prongs ring.

 

[theinquisitor]

Thanks, headlight; I hope it will be!

qtiekiki, I don''t have any, but I''m working on getting some soon. I promise I''ll post them as soon as I have them!
