Whoa, that is a beauty, congrats! I really like that setting too.

Laila, glad you like it! I had a heck of a time picking out a setting. I am very picky, but I think it turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself.

Congratulations on your engagement! Your ring is stunning and looks gorgeous on you.

Thanks so much legra! I was really trying to find a look that would compliment the diamond and that didn''t make my short fingers look too short!

Congrats on your engagement - that ring is incredible! Who made the setting? The workmanship is beautiful.

Vespergirl, thanks for your sweet comment. Glad you like the setting. It took some time to settle on it, but I''m very happy with the decision I made.

The girl with the cool name got an oh so cool ring! Snicklefritz it''s gorgeous! Now you''re going to have me checking Craigslist for diamonds. I think it''s incredible and not too big at all. I''d give a nice healthy kidney for a stone like that.

Please tell...... who made you mounting? I really like it a lot. I like the shank, the basket, the whole thing. It''s just beautiful!

gemgirl, you managed two compliments in one sentence. Pretty impressive, and very much appreciated. I''m so happy you like the setting. It is made by Leddel International. Here is the link Setting. It''s a pretty bad picture and there''s no side view. Looks way nicer in person! I am very impressed with the craftsmanship, and was told by my jeweler that they set their melee really well.

Thanks for the link to the setting., I think it''s one of the prettiest settings I have seen in a long time. Enjoy!!! Great pics btw...

Wow!! Its amazing! I didn''t know you could get J colour melee! What a perfectly unexpected proposal too. Well done that man!

Oh yes, Maisie! You can get J color melee, probably any color you want, actually. There were several jewelers I went to who said they could easlily order a setting with J melee. I do think they blend pretty well with the K. I have a setting with H color melee and one of these days I''m going to put them side by side and see if I can see the difference. Thanks for the thoughtful comments!

Congratulations on your engagement!

That is one spectacular ring. I just love the warmth and multi-coloured hues from your ring.

Thanks DiaDiva! I am absolutely in love with all of the colors that my diamond flashes. It''s like having a color changing gemstone. It''s takes on literally every color in the room. Also, the appraiser called it a "chameleon diamond" and it has medium-strong blue fluoresence. This combination gives it tons of character. Sometimes it can appear pale yellow, other times it has a hint of green and other times it''s downright blue. But most times it''s just as white as can be. All of the jewelers I''ve taken it to never dreamed it was a K. But there''s no denying it''s antique-white glow!
