#TBT 2.17 James Allen RB in Danhov platinum setting

[Malbec54]

2.17 RB diamond from James Allen (GIA cert)
G color, SI1, EX/VG/EX Cut/Polish/Symmetry, strong blue fluorescence

Danhov platinum setting ZE-127
104 rb diamonds, G/H color, VS1/2
Ring size is 5

*Please excuse the pictures...Used my iPhone camera...plus I'm new at this!




I was wearing an orange sweater and the ring picked up the color --- crazy!






I was really nervous about the strong blue fluorescence combined with a G color, but it looked much whiter compared to an I colored diamond.
My experience with James Allen was PHENOMENAL! Highly recommend them....and Danhov's work is exquisite. My ring is super comfortable and sturdy!

AH!!! That is STUNNING! I love the pave U prong setting! wow - I don't think I've seen that setting before and its a real stunner!!! Fantastic choice!! Congratulations on the perfect combination -

I just bought myself a UV light and I am discovering fluoresence in quite a few of my stones and LOVING the effect! Have you seen your SB in action yet? I'd love a UV shot if you could find one... The thought of that big 2ct RB all glowing blue--- I can't wait to see it!!!

It's GORGEOUS!!!! Congrats!!!! Hope you post more pics!

 

[Malbec54]

Enerchi, you are always such a sweetheart! Thank you!
I haven't seen it in action -- I'm "newly engaged" for two days now, and am still adjusting to wearing an e-ring. I can't wait to see it all blue. I have noticed a kaleidescope of colors and definitely see the blue, but no milkiness/cloudy, thank goodness.

How gorgeous!!! Such a beautiful diamond and setting!!! My stone is also SB, and I love it! I think it makes a G stone look sooo white! I bought a little UV penlight from Amazon so I could see the fluorescence because you almost never can see it otherwise!

Honestly, I don't see many rings that I LOVE, but yours is truly AMAZING!!!! Absolutely beautiful!

 

[Malbec54]

Thanks to you all for the compliments. Everyone is so very kind.

I will try and take some better photos this weekend.
As for a wedding band, probably just a matching platinum pave band to keep it consistent.
Measurements are 8.21 - 8.24 x 5.15

My clubbing days are over, so I might just have to pick up one of those pens!

Malbec is my absolute favorite wine....I started with whites (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio), then migrated to; Merlot, Chianti, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabs, and now Malbec. I am a total wino!

 

[soocool]

Stunning ring! Wear it in good health.

Im happy you posted your ring since its a strong blue flour. Mine is as well but since i ordered the diamond i wont be able to see what it will really look like until Friday! You can see only the tinest hint of blue on the picture that has more natural light but its beautiful and makes me excited to see what mine will look like!

Can't wait to see your pictures! I can definitely see the blue too, but other times it looks completely white----Crazy! Sometimes I feel like I have two completely different rings.
