Your new rings are just fantastic - love the stone and the setting! I also love the small gap between the two rings - I have become a huge fan of a small gap!
The diamond is spectacular and really is the star of the show!
We would love more pictures - there is just no such thing as too many!

Thank you again, everyone, for your very kind comments! I too love the gap between the wedding band and the ER.
I looked through all my photos on iPhoto and I don't have a single one of my EC with the traps and the asscher band.
I am sort of surprised that I don't. I no longer own the EC ring but I do still have the asscher band, though I don't plan to wear it with my new ring because I don't think it looks great with it. It's a channel-set asscher (I had the shared prong asscher band first and it drove me crazy poking my fingers all the time, so I had Signed Pieces/Facets remake it!) so it's very tailored. Maybe that's why I don't like it with the new ER?
I would love to get more photos showing the sparkle and brilliance and fire of this stone. If I get some good ones, I'll post them.

OH MY GOODNESS! That is so stunningly beautiful. Your flower shots are amazing. I need to practice taking pics. Mine never come out that good. But your set is droolworthy for sure!

Many thanks to everyone for your kind comments!
I really love these rings and feel like I made the perfect (for me) choice.
tigian, I'll try to get a good photo or two of my eternity band for you. It's a pretty band and it does fit on my right hand, though that finger is a little bigger than my left ring finger. I have something else in mind for that hand (not immediately, just in the future) but I don't even know if I'll like wearing a ring on my right hand so I could do as you suggest and wear this one as a RHR for a while to see. I used to wear my trinity rolling ring on my right hand but I almost drove myself crazy by playing with it ... rolling it up and down my finger, taking it off and putting it back on, etc. You know it's bad when your annoying habits annoy even yourself!
SparkleNut, thank you for your comments on my photos. Are you using the macro setting on your camera when you photograph your jewelry? That's what I do. I just use a point-and-shoot digital and many of my shots aren't all that great but I just delete them and keep trying. Thank goodness for digital cameras because I used to "waste" a ton of film!

First hand shot. For reference, I wear a size 6, and these rings are a little big on me. I'd forgotten that thin bands don't fit the same as wider bands. I guess I wear a 6 in wider bands, and a little smaller in thinner bands. I'm not sure if I'll resize or not; I thought I should give them some time. Although, that's how I lost my very first ring! It was winter and my fingers were smaller than when I'd had the ring sized, and my ring slipped right off my hand without me realizing it.
Also, I swear the photos make the diamond look bigger on my hand than it really is! One always hears that the camera adds 10 pounds ... can that happen with diamonds?!
They look amazing on

Laila619, Portree, Yssie, Lori, Echidna, Dancing Fire, and SparklyOEC, Thank you all very much for your kind comments! I am just as happy with this setting as I was the day it arrived and anticipate that I will continue to be.
It's funny how I've gotten used to the size so quickly. Sometimes I catch a glance in the mirror and think it looks big but most of the time on my hand, it doesn't. (DSS already?!) It does still look bigger (than IRL) in photographs though.
Portree,sometimes I can't quite believe we've been married so long. Time goes ever faster, the older I get .... Thank you (and others) for the congratulations on our long marriage.
Lesley told me that this diamond was originally sourced for someone else but came back from AGS a higher color grade than Brian originally thought it would be. Was that "someone else" you? I wondered if it was a Pricescoper!

Thank you, tyty! I no longer have my other ering and I don't have any photos of it, for some reason. It was very classic, with the trapezoids. I have always loved step-cut and square/rectangular stones but after all these years, suddenly round diamonds are beckoning to me.
Thank you both for the kind words, LV2Shopp and slg47! You all are so sweet.
