....picking myself up off the floor, here

:clap: magnificent!

I'm so happy for you- that is an amazing stone, and the setting is perfection. It looks great on your hand- wow- really really beautiful. The profile shots??Unreal. And I've seen the video of your sparkler- what a showstopper.

Thank you so much for sharing this journey- we've been following this and these pics just made my night. Congratulations! Wear it in good health, DF!

Oh MY!! DF you have one absolutely outstanding ring! The Octavia is gorgeous and the fluorescence is fascinating! But combined w the gelin abacci setting - you knocked it out if the park!


I'm very happy for you now owning your dream ring. Enjoy this beauty and the joy it must bring you.

I came back to subscribe to this because my two middle sons were asking me today why men don't wear diamond rings! I said oh-they certainly can! :) I have to show them this tonight!

Congratulations, DF! It is absolutely stunning and well worth the wait! :love: :love: :love:

What did Mrs DF say when she saw it? :naughty: Best thing about the tension setting is that it can't be resized, so hopefully she can't snaffle this one! :dance:

Aaaaaaaaaaand, I need to stop craning my neck to get a better view of your watch! :lol:

I think you need to make an appointment with Kenny for a photoshoot! Or, dare I even say it, an Octavia Orgy...? :naughty: :lol:
Not much really, maybe she's jealous?.. :naughty: :lol:
Here's a closer view of the watch, it is in 18K RG. I'm strange .. :wacko: I love white metal rings but for dress watches i'd prefer RG. I wear a dress watch everyday, but I never do dress up.

:lol: You are bad, DF! Thanks to Jon that he has a passion for original, superior cut diamonds!!! ;))

That is fabulous that it turned out VS2. It has perfect specs along with the fluorescence!!!! If I could change one thing about my diamond, it would be to add SBF!

Oh, and your watch is gorgeous!!! I love the rose gold!!!

Oh wow! That hits it out of the park! The setting and diamond compliment each other so well. And the weight!! Almost 15gr, I love hefty pieces. That sounds so lux to wear.
