Blue Nile Petite Cathedral 1.81ct ering

[starrynight]

I helped (as in gave some resources via pricescope yay) to a friend's boyfriend (now fiance yay) rings. But...despite such resources, he went with (gasp!) Blue Nile. The ring's still beautiful We plugged and chugged all the #s and the HCA score (just slightly about 2) and the AGA/NAJA grading at 1B...he took a risk and I think it paid off (the price was right & the proposal trip was coming up fast). She also happened to mention she liked one of the settings (the one mentioned in the subject). This is the current link to the setting http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-engagement-ring-platinum_9917

Stats:
1.81ct ex-ex-ex (GIA)
I-color
VS1
7.81x7.84x4.85
Strong Blue Fluor

I think that's all the stats...we also took a trip to a few jewelry stores today so I thought I'd throw those in later in the post

Oh yea ring size 3.75!

Silly me...forgot the hand shots!





This one's of her ering with the tiffany metro band:

AND while we were band shopping...I tried on a few hehe

The first is a 2ct classic tiffany setting (about 8.1mm in diameter). The second is a 2ct hearts on fire (just a smidge smaller in diameter than the first). My ring size is 5.

It was nice of you to help your friend! It looks like you did a great job!

Very beautiful! The HOF diamond looks fantastic on your hand. Hmmm.... finders fee for your help?

 

[AprilBaby]

Your friend will love it! Good job!

It's gorgeous...and I like it so much better than the 2 carat Tiffany and HOF!!! I'm certain it's going to look just as beautiful on your friend's hand!

Hehe guess I wasn't clear...she LOVES her ring! Those are her hands in the photos with the blue nile ring (I can't fit her 3.75 sized ring ). We went on a little shopping excursion and checked out some weddings bands hence the extra photos with my fingers in them The 2ct rings are on my finger (size 5).

Glad that your friend has what she wanted. That is the best for an e-ring, a setting that she likes (nice setting btw) and a weighty carat diamond on a super small size finger. WOW. Blings

Mitsui...I know right? Her 1.8ct looks the same as the 2ct on my size 5 finger Saw your thread on your ring - super blingy
