APRIL 8, 2021 1.5 ct ROUND DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING
Cutehonesty shared this ring created with us in 2009. We loved the look of this ring and the round diamond is complemented by the side stones, which makes the center stone look larger than it is. Some spectacular pictures were posted that were a joy to look at. As ever, we hope that this engagement ring was just the beginning of a long and beautiful marriage. We hope that they are still finding a lot of beauty in all things, including this dazzler.

APRIL 22, 2021 “GRAPE JELLY” PURPLE SPINEL AND DIAMOND RING
Love in Bloom originally shared this purple spinel and diamond right-hand ring with us in 2009. This color is mind blowing. We love diamonds but other gems have a place in our hearts too. The double prongs and side diamond details let the spinel be the focal point of the ring but definitely hold their own.

The setting is by Van Craeynest. The ring is style 483-4 in Platinum with a Fleur-de-lis (#4B) head. The shoulders are 3mm wide, tapering to 2.2mm at the bottom of the shank. The side stones are two 5 pointers and two 2.5 point diamonds (0.15 tcw).
APRIL 29, 2021, WHITEFLASH DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING
PugLover shared this stunning diamond engagement ring with us in 2009. When they had this gorgeous ring created, they knew the setting that they wanted but swapped out the head. They created this special piece that garnered that YES! PugLover knew that we needed her to share that new bling with us, it’s lovely! We hope that it’s been bringing joy in all the intervening years.
STATISTICS:
Carat Weight: 1.640
Cut: Round
Color: J
Clarity: VS2
This ring rounds out our month of 2009 picks, what a fun visit to that year.
