I am a lover of yellow gold. I'm not ashamed to admit it. When DH and I got engaged 10+ years ago I wanted a yellow gold ering but they were virtually non-existant. Don't get me wrong, I love my platinum, but YG always sung to me. Flash forward to now and I've got my yellow gold ering AND my platinum ering. Damn I'm a lucky gal.

I got the bug about a month and a half ago. I had previously purchased a FLY from Mark Broumand and always admired his pave work ([URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/im-feeling-fly-gets-me-every-time.185066/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/im-feeling-fly-gets-me-every-time.185066/[/URL]) so I decided to get a quote from him. His price was great so I decided to start the process with him. It was only then that I realized his pieces are hand forged and that he also uses CADs. The whole process took about one month. MB was great. Always very responsive and kind in his emails, and I didn't feel like I had to micromanage him at all. I told him what I wanted, he got it, and he ran with it. I recommend him 150%. He was great and his work is off-the-charts amazing.

Here is the thread for my original OEC in the white gold SNQueen setting: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/adopted-oec-sn-queens-setting-perfection.188475/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/adopted-oec-sn-queens-setting-perfection.188475/[/URL] and here it is now. Hope you enjoy looking at the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them.

I have a few more shots to share. Some of are the rest of my family. I get a little carried away when the lighting is just right.
