Hey Everyone!!

After lurking here for years, I'm very excited to finally make my first post! I learned so much from this community and from other users' posts, so here's my contribution :)

After getting a rough idea of what we wanted, we used Rare Carat to find the diamond, and ended up purchasing it through Ritani. We then worked with Caysie at CvB ID to customize her amazing Jovyn setting, and after a tortuous wait, it's now finally on my hand!!! :love:

Stats:
1.62 ct, J, VS1, GIA 3X
7.55 x 7.57 x 4.60 mm
1.5 HCA
Faint Fluorescence

To maximize finger coverage and still stay in budget, we decided to go for a J color plus some fluorescence, and let me tell you, I am SO GLAD that we did! Initially I was nervous that the warmth would bother me, but it faces up very white pretty much all the time (except for one room at work with weird overhead lighting, lol). I spent a ton of time browsing these forums when I was trying to decide if I'd take the plunge with a J, so if you're in that same boat as I once was, let me tell you - it was totally worth it :)

Here are the pictures that Caysie sent us:






The customization we did to the Jovyn setting was to smooth the knife edge a bit, and make the taper to the stone very slight (2mm - 1.8 mm). It's also a brushed platinum finish, which I am obsessed with. I love my ring so much and so happy to be marrying the man who gave it to me :love: :love: :love:

I love the setting, love the stone, love the tweaks you made regrading the subtle taper and brushed metal (I also love those candies). Calling for lots of hand shots!

It's beautiful! :love: I think it's the first I've seen with a brushed finish! What wedding band do you plan to get to wear with it?

Sorry in advance for the picture quality! I don't have a good camera (only an iPhone), but I'm working on getting some pictures with one. When I have better quality pictures, I will post those too :D For reference, my finger is a 7.25.

Now for some warmth!

In my car with a dark interior while it was pouring rain outside:


Regular lighting:



Weird conference room with very yellow lighting (that probably any diamond would look yellow in):

I had originally wanted a plain wedding band with some milgrain, likely a half round or even a flat band, since IMO knife edge isn't the most comfortable...but now I'm starting to turn into a bling monster and wanting some more bling in my wedding band! I'm currently loving the idea of a thin channel set band with french cuts --

Like this one from Caysie (but with diamonds instead of sapphires): https://www.etsy.com/listing/267146...yogo-sapphire-riviera?ref=shop_home_active_39


Or this one (which belongs to PS/WB user jenncent/jcent, made by Schubach's): http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/new-wedding-band-2/
