Before and after
image_3623.jpgimage_3624.jpg

The backstory: I picked up this Old Mine Cut earlier in the year because even though it was highly visibly included, I fell in love with it.It is 1.01 carat and very white. I finally found a setting that works beautifully and that masks the inclusions bc it is all bling. I will post more pictures in the morning. Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks so much to everyone for your comments. I've been wearing it on my right hand and it is extremely distracting! But I'm glad to say that it is really comfy, which is always my concern with RHR.
I didn't get a chance to snap any new pictures today, but I will soon!
