I wondered who got that beautiful diamond!!! Back when I was looking for an anniversary diamond last year, I was looking in the 1.4-1.5 range, and I prefered around G VS or VVS. I did end up buying from Good Old Gold, but I ended up with a 1.63 because I just couldn''t find one in the just under 1.5 size. So when I saw this stone, I thought it would have definitely been bought by me if it had appeared last year! So I am delighted to see that it found a good home! I love the RC setting, too! Congratulations!

I know what you mean! The 1.44 was like that sweet spot that LOOKS like a 1.5 but not at the price of a 1.5! We were having a hard time finding stones in the 1.4-1.5 range as well. Funny was that this was the first stone that we had saw and I loved it but wanted to keep looking since I hadn''t see anything else. But I just kept coming back to it...checking the website everyday and after every shopping trip. I like the fact that I ended up getting it after all that shopping, makes it seem like it was just meant to be!

Yes, when I saw the setting IRL at GOG I fell in love with it, and that one wasn''t even polished! So when FI gave it to me all shiny and polished I was like WOAH - is this the same ring??!! I was thinking of getting just the x prong pave instead cause I thought that it was lower than the RC but the RC was not that high so it was a winner!

I knew I had to post because I couldn''t find that many pictures of the royal crown pave when I was looking...just one thread by Captain Polyester (shout out to him and his beautiful RC). So I wanted other people to be able to see it in case they were looking.

 

[gladyskristen]

I''ve never seen a IRL pic of a Royal Crown with pave, but I must say it looks really good! And your stone ROCKS (pun intended)!

 

[goldenstar]

I love it! I was considering the Royal Crown with Pave for my own e-ring. It''s beautiful!

 

[Camilla]

I''ve always *loved* the royal crown setting, apart from just how high it was, but yours is amazing and looks really really elegant and nice and isn''t too high at all!

 

[poshpepper]

What a gorgeous ring! I love the crown settings also

Congrats on your engagement!

 

[Skippy123]

The side view is sooooo cool! congrats

Congrats on your engagement and your gorgeous diamond ering! We got mine from GOG too, and had a great time there over 2 years ago when we flew to NY for a long weekend to go diamond shopping. Took a train ride out to LI and took up about 2h of Jonathan''s time looking at different stones and seeing all his toys. He''s a "gem" too! Can''t wait to see photos with the wedding band you choose when the time comes.

Thank you for the kind words! I was thinking of thin pave band. We tried one on when we went in to look at the settings and it just looked so perfect. and it sits flush with th ering - yay! my only concern is that maybe it''s too "common" and i was thinking of finding something more unique. I''m open to suggestions if anyone''s got any! ^_^

 

[rocks&purses]

That''s a beautiful ring!!!!! I want a low setting ring too. CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement!

 

[Ellen]

I hope you''re taking some pictures in the sun today!

 

[april diamonds]

in fact I did take a few more shots! here are two for now...the rest are on the other memory card! this shows a much whiter diamond than the very first one i posted i think...the extra sun helps. ^_-

 

[april diamonds]

I finally got a pretty good pic of the pave. FI has the other mem card right now, as soon as he gets home I''ll upload!

 

[april diamonds]

oooh sorry the picture is so big. but at least you can see the pave.

 

[Harleigh]

Ohhh...I love your ring, congratulations! It looks fit for a queen!

 

[april diamonds]

i just like this picture. love how the diamond is reflecting the color of my shirt (was wearing a pink shirt)

 

[april diamonds]

finally captured a little bit of fire...will have to try some more

 

[april diamonds]

Ellen, I haven''t yet gotten an arrow pic like yours but if you look really closely at this one you can almost see them all!

 

[fabcrab]
