I do she's been my "engagement ring" most of the week! Luxkily my job is a desk job (lucky for my ring anyways) so not a lot of chance for damage there :)

And thanks PS I appreciate the compliment immensely

Your new ring is beautiful! I love the unique setting and the color of the stone reminds me of gorgeous Caribbean waters!

Enjoy it - quite the showstopper!!

Honestly, this is stunning- an heirloom, deserving of her name. Every detail. The size, color, the prongs!!! the setting- have mercy- sublime.

Niel, I love your photos, and I am thrilled, THRILLED, at your find. I hope you keep this one forever.

It is perfect on you. This ring is fitting for royalty, but, looks completely at home on your pretty hand atop your office jeans. I love it.
Gosh, what treat for my to visit pricescope to stumble on this! Congratulations, thanks for posting, made my day!!!!

Niel, your new ring is gorgeous! I really love the setting, it is so beautiful on your hand! When you mentioned getting the zircon touched up, are you thinking of getting it polished? Who would you send it to for that? Just curious...
Congrats on your stunning ring ! :love: :love: :love:

But it would cost 110 plus shipping then the issue of the 20 prongs with it out and back in. And paying that. Then were talking a fair % of what I paid for the ring.

I had an interview today and I felt this color play was on point. I didnt actually wear the ring though to the interview as I've heard jewelry at an interview is a no no.

Good luck on the interview!! I work at a government job that serves the public, especially the less wealthy, so I don't wear a lot of bling to work :/

Niel, I would hire you just so I could stare at your ring during meetings! Elsa is stunning!

I know this thread is old but I am considering an incredible zircon but am worried about wear and wonder how your incredible ring has held up? Thanks!

She is beat to shit, honestly. But I don’t care. The abrasions haven’t increased since I bought it, though. So that’s good. From far away you can’t see the abrasions.
I would not hesitate to buy a zircon again

I’ve just been looking through your post too, what a fabulous ring, I love the colour it’s bewitchingly beautiful. The design is great too.
I’m glad to hear that the abrasions aren’t any worse than they were originally when you re homed her.

She’s gorgeous! :love:

@Niel i love everything about this ring! I'm a bit of a zircon rescuer, its a jewelry weakness of mine. I would not hesitate to buy a zircon with abrasions either. I will tell you though , having had one that was abraded then polished (Jerry Newman rocks!) The improvement in the stone performance was shocking.
I read that you didn't want to unmount it, and remembered there's a company in Denver that will repolish the top of the gem without unmounting. In case you were interested!

Thank you for the suggestion! But honestly the performance is not hindered by the abrasions. Probably because she so big lol
