I don’t post often, but I’ve been reading the boards for a long time and after all the knowledge helped my fiancé and I to choose a diamond and setting, I wanted to make a thread about my new engagement ring.

Here are the EGL specs:
weight: 0.73
dimensions: 5.94 x 5.79 x 3.38
colour: G
clarity: SI3
culet: small
no fluorescence

The diamond is from jewels by Erica grace and is an OEC/transitional diamond. It’s beautiful, has such amazing contrast and faceting. My fiancé said they were fantastic to deal with and we will definitely purchase from them again in the future! The diamond is SI3 which I know would be unacceptable to some here, but it’s eye clean and I can barely find the few feathers (which are mostly hidden under a prong) even when using a 20x loupe. My fiancé was very wary of the clarity, but decided to take a risk since we loved everything else about the stone and I’m SO glad we did. It’s lively and bright and perfect for us.

The setting was custom made by Sundari Gems on Etsy and it’s amazing – exactly what I wanted! The melée stones are f – g colour and incredibly sparkly. I couldn’t be happier with the setting, it’s delicate and feminine and so easy to wear I forget I have it on. It sits nice and low and allows a wedding band to sit flush which was important to me.

Thanks for letting me share, here are some photos!

could someone help me with posting photos? do you use the 'upload attachment' button? for some reason, they will not load, says something about a server error. :/

thank you! i love it - i'm not sure the exact cost, but i'm sure it was a good value due to the clarity, which is great because it doesn't impact the appearance in the slightest :)

Congrats for Your engagement and stunning ring! Erica and Grace are absolutely wonderful people and I trust them 100%. I have bought four times from them and no disappointments. I live in Finland and everything has gone very smoothly. I can't praise them enough when we are talking customer service and fabulous items :wavey:

It looks huge on you! Very pretty! Congratulations!!!

thanks! it's sized at 5.5 but spins a little - i was sized in the height of summer (on purpose) so it'd have a little room for swelling, i'm probably a 5 or 5.25.

i completely agree, my fiancé was so happy with their service and they were very patient with us as it was the first diamond purchase we'd made.
