Hi Everyone!

I just got engaged and I wanted to show off my beautiful OEC! My fiance was given his great-grandmother''s e-ring (in the family over 100 years) and had it re-set by Austin & Warburton in Ann Arbor, MI. They designed the setting together and it is absolutely stunning. I missed out on the wax mold process but the boy told me it was very cool :).

I visted this site a lot when my fiance asked me to give him some guidelines for what I wanted in a setting. I wanted it to be a surprise and it was! I couldn''t be happier with it :). Thanks for all the great posts and pictures.



Stats on my OEC:



Weight: 1.08
Cut: OEC
Clarity: VS1
Color: I

Other cool stuff - the original setting had 4 sidestones and 1 was hand-claved in the mid-1800''s!



The new setting has 12 bead-set sidestones (I don''t know the TCW) with fine milgrain edging. The basket design houses two itty bitty diamonds in the center on each side. Sorry about the awful photo quality - I need a new digi cam.

Let me see if I can get the rest of the photos to post. Thanks for looking!

Oooo I love all these OECs (and heirloom stones)!!!

Very pretty - pretty setting too!
Can you take some pics in the daylight for us?
(Use macro mode, the little tulip/flower symbol, and zoom in.)

Congratulations on your engagement!

Thank you! I know it''s so hard to tell from these photos. I''m going to borrow a friends camera and see if I can get some decent shots :).

I never knew photographing a diamond would be so difficult!

(Taking pix isn''t really that hard once you get the hang of it, and of course, a digi camera with a macro function...)

Congratulations on your engagement!!

Thank you! I love my oec so much, I wouldn''t want anything else. I love the fire - people comment on how much it sparkles and how clear it is. I''m going to borrow a friend''s camera over the weekend and hopefully post some better pictures ASAP!
