I''m currently anxiously waiting for my 1.51 cushion set in pave.....

Dying to know your ring size, if you don''t mind.

Violet, ALJ, CDinNYC, Luvmyhalo, Burk, Cleopatra - Thanks!! I am loving it!!!

MaggieB - I promise you have NOTHING to worry about! Your stone is gorgeous!

Iheartdiamonds - Not gonna lie, yours was an inspiration too! Except your stone is MUCH bigger!

bella - Thanks! The ring is a 5.75. It fits just perfectly. Leon wanted me to get a 5.5 but I know that I swell a bit in the summer so there''s just a touch of space.

Vespergirl - I will try to get some more basket pictures tonight. I was so blinded by the rainbows this morning that I didn''t take that many from the side!

Ellen - Thanks! How did you get that awesome backlit shot though in your avatar b/c that is

!!

I just held my hand up to a window where the sun was hitting it really hard, but I had the mini blinds shut. I really never dreamed it would turn out like that! That''s why I''m always telling people to experiment, you just never know!

I''m always envious of Leon''s amazing photos online but they did an impromptu shoot while I was waiting so this is all I''ve got.

No problem...it''s an E and is BLAZING white!

 

[scarlet16]

Canuk-gal & Kaleigh - Thanks!!! Means a lot coming from such HUGE diamond enthusiasts!

Ellen - Thanks for the tip...I''ll need to play with some lighting.

 

[Deelight]

OMG your ring is beyond beautiful I love it

, the setting is just perfect and the diamond magnificent I adore the gallery view as well, just perfect

 

[gemgirl]

I l

ve your new ring! The shape of the basket has the sweetest gentle curve to it from the side view. Very sexy!
Leon does it again! Every piece he''s turned out looks impeccibly done.

P.S. I''m so glad I have Chubb too. Just in case......God forbid......

 

[Snooper]

WOW!! I love how you had him put diamonds on the shank too. It''s perfection! Congrats!!!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Scarlet - It is phenomenal! Just beautiful!

Congrats ... love the e-w setting!

It really looks fantastic ... such a gorgeous cushion - those chunky facets are mesmerizing!

 

[scarlet16]

Deelight -Thanks! Leon did a fantastic job w/ the gallery...it''s what sold me on a solitaire.

Gemgirl - GOOD EYE!!! I thought I was the only person who noticed that slight curve. It''s like a hands cradling the stone. And yes, Chubb really really came through for us!

Snooper - Thanks...they are set SO perfectly too...it''s incredible. There are like 4 itty bitty little prongs holding each stone in. But all I see is sparkle!

Sparkalicious - I didn''t know how the e/w would turn out on a "smaller" stone compared to the 3+ct ones I''ve seen but it''s absolutely perfect with this stone and makes such a statement. And yeah, the facets really are mesmerizing...I thought I just loved the chunky facets and rainbows but there is this INCREDIBLE depth to this stone (almost in a way step cuts do).

 

[glitterbug]

OMG, Scarlet, the whole thing is just *perfect*! The stone! The setting! The execution! To die for!

I don''t usually like east-west settings, but it''s honestly perfect with this stone and on your hand. Congrats! I''m sure the wait was well worth it.

 

[ginzagirl]

Gorgeous and CHUNKY! I love your ring and love the tittle of this thread too! Enjoy your beautiful ring and sorry to hear about the loss of your original ering.

 

[DMBsGirl]

GORGEOUS!

 

[LaraOnline]

Urgh, Pricescope is getting to me! I''ve been dreaming of RBs for eons, and yesterday - suddenly - I thought of cushions. Why? Why? Why?

 

[ahappygirl]

Breathtaking. I''m gasping..for..air.

 

[Skippy123]

OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RINGS EVER

LOVE THE DOUBLE PRONGS

Love the east/west, LOVE the STONE!!! It does remind me of Tigers antique stone, yum!!!!
