I was asking about bands with blurry pics of my ring, and realized I'd never started a SMtB thread!

While cruising around these forums I fell in love with large old cut diamonds thanks to the rings Dreamer_D, Demelza, and many others. I'd been looking for an antique round bezel setting, but found they all towered quite high above the finger. I'm left handed, and work with my hands, so I thought I'd be asking for disaster.

Then JbG released the Victoria setting by Erika Winters Bridal. It's a gorgeous low-set setting in platinum with an octagonal outline (reminded me of Dreamer_D's ring). The model ring for the setting was set with a transitional cut diamond I'd been eyeing previously. The stars aligned. It was love :love:

The stone is a 2.24ct, and GIA K, VS2. Ring size 6.

Thanks! The arrows seem to love the camera, but the stone is mostly a disco ball with chunky sparkle in real life :)

Absolutely stunning stone and setting :love: . Please post many more pics. I especially live the side view with the diamonds all around the stone. I love the simple elegance, and yet there is 'something going on' with the octagon and the tiny diamonds around the main stone. You made a great choice. I bet you cannot stop looking at it.

I am so glad you made a thread! Your ring is sooo beautiful. Your diamond is off the charts gorgeous. Octagon settings are a complete soft spot for me and yours in particular is just right. The perfect mix of modern and vintage. Yes, please. I also love how your diamond is placed, or set, within the setting. Feel free to post more pics, and thank you for sharing.
