Yssie, your ring, the stones the photography are all fantastic.

My fav is the one in the sugar.
The high key pic is stunning with those soft pastel shades.

 

[kenny]

This is just like something you want to eat.
I can just imagine the magnificent light show.

 

[yssie]

Kenny - thank you so much for your kind comments. Your photography is amazing, I long to take pictures like yours

The light show was amazing, the pastels were stunning in combination with the pale yellow gold. I truly adore everything about this ring

You can continue to post pictures of this stunning ring as often as you want. I never get tired of looking at it.

The profile of your ring is every bit as beautiful as the top view. I just love the visibility of your center stone and how well it is showcased in the swoopy prongs.

Can you post pictures in a variety of different lighting environments? I would love to see more .....PLEASE

 

[yssie]

Aww thank you Farleysmom - you've been so excited, and it's wonderful to have people to share this with! I'll get on those pics ASAP - what's a couple (hundred) more!

The thing I'm noticing about unplated wg is that it changes colour depending on what lighting you're in. My plated wg. and plat. sets were bright, bright white no matter where I was, but the metal on this ring is chameleon, anything from golden yellow to icy white depending on what it's reflecting - much like the J diamond, actually!

Wow! The stones are BEAUTIFUL!!! So brilliant and by far looks huge!

 

[yssie]

thank you always!

 

[yssie]

Farleysmom - I got some pics in different lights

My P&S did some balancing even on manual, so the differences I see are somewhat muted in the pics - they're more visible IRL..
All pics taken on a white paper towel.


Metal looks brownish here:

Creamy/yellowy, I think this is closest to its ''natural'' colour

(bathroom countertop, "daylight" light setting)

Thanks woo

More pics. I can''t stop myself..!

I think this is my favorite one! They''re all so good though.

 

[yssie]

Like gold

(indoors, beige walls, no artificial lighting)
The "sugar" pics earlier show it looking rich yellow, too

 

[yssie]

And here - positively pink! Though the diamond retains a creamy cast

WOWWW Yssie what an incredible ring!!

your pictures are fantastic! it really is THE perfect 3 stone ring. everything is perfect right down to the plating, the prongs and the height of the diamonds. WOW!! Keep rolling with the picsss

 

[Farleysmom]

Beautiful. Thank you. I see what you mean about the colour change on the gold. At this point, I can''t decide which colour I like the best as they are all so nice.

It''s hard to believe that your stone is a "J" as it appears so white in most of your pictures -- except the previously posted "candlelight" stovetop (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE). I just love the way both your stone and the gold changes colour. I bet you never get tired of looking at it as it never looks the same (but always incredible)

It''s wonderful that you were able to get exactly what you wanted in an e-ring before you are married and that your fiance is so supportive of your needs, wants and desires.

Keep posting pictures ''cause we''ll never get tired of looking!

Another steely


Unplated Ni-wg is truly a treasure. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking at a near-colourless or faintly tinted diamond, who doesn't have Ni allergies - the barely-there metal colour showcases these chameleon diamonds so well, portraying the stone body tint as a positive, but without trying to "mask" anything.

 

[Farleysmom]

Your cat is just too cute for words!!!!!!

 

[yssie]

...I can't decide whether to have WF to make me a matching wb or stay with the one I've got now even with the difference in colour...I don't think I'm imagining it!

 

[PavePrincess]

Gosh that''s a beautiful ring. The diamonds are beautiful, but I love how it is set.

Someday (when I have a real job) I hope to be able to buy a ring as HUGE and GORGEOUS as yours. Until then, I''ll just dream.. hehe.

Also, I love your "model"! Very pretty cat..

 

[yssie]

Thanks for (still) looking and commenting, Zoe, DC, Farley, PavePrincess!

Farleysmom - I'm lucky to have my FI, 'tis very true! He's been amazingly supportive throughout this whole journey, though I'm sure he was tired of it a long time ago... We both agree that this last iteration is just perfect, though

Cat is my parents'. Nasty little bugger sometimes, but so cute he gets away with anything!
