Thanks all for the kind words. I am really loving this ring! It is really heavy, and the platinum has a really rich, solid look and feel to it.
Diamondsrock, the center is a .558 A Cut Above stone from Whiteflash, it''s an H, SI1. Completely eye clean, so far I still can''t even find the inclusions with the loupe and the cert for reference! The sidestones are also ACA''s, .26 TW, G VS2. The cut really makes a difference, even in the tiny sidestones...
I can actually see the arrows with my naked eyes in a lot of lighting conditions! The stones are blinding in sunlight, John sheilds his eyes when I sparkle it in the sun. We''re so thrilled with this ring, I can''t stop looking at it and I got honked at yesterday because I was sparkling it and the light turned green...
About the size, I know, it looks a lot bigger than the usual 1/2 ct!!! I was ring-shopping with a recently engaged friend the other day, and the .75 they had at the store was EXACTLY the same size as my stone!
And of course mine sparkles much more than the average stone...
Denise found me a great diamond, I''m really happy with it!!!
