....picking myself up off the floor, here

magnificent!

I'm so happy for you- that is an amazing stone, and the setting is perfection. It looks great on your hand- wow- really really beautiful. The profile shots??Unreal. And I've seen the video of your sparkler- what a showstopper.

Thank you so much for sharing this journey- we've been following this and these pics just made my night. Congratulations! Wear it in good health, DF!

This project turned out fabulous!

You know you will need weekly manicures with that ring and that watch you're wearing!! Super combo!

 

[missy]

Stunning. So happy for you DF. Your new ring is perfect and looks amazing. I second MayK's suggestion of a weekly manicure. You have to keep up the the beauty that is your new ring.

 

[Enerchi]

Oh MY!! DF you have one absolutely outstanding ring! The Octavia is gorgeous and the fluorescence is fascinating! But combined w the gelin abacci setting - you knocked it out if the park!


I'm very happy for you now owning your dream ring. Enjoy this beauty and the joy it must bring you.

Thanks for adding more pictures. That diamond looks huge on your hand. And it has so much sparkle not to mention that incredible blue glow. Enjoy DF, you deserve it!

I came back to subscribe to this because my two middle sons were asking me today why men don't wear diamond rings! I said oh-they certainly can! I have to show them this tonight!

 

[Diamoneecee]

[sarahb]

Thanks for the additional pics DF--that ring & stone is simply to die for. It is really stunning & looks perfect on you. Just perfect.

 

[Dancing Fire]

I've been waiting for this!

Congratulations, DF! It is absolutely stunning and well worth the wait!

What did Mrs DF say when she saw it? Best thing about the tension setting is that it can't be resized, so hopefully she can't snaffle this one!

Aaaaaaaaaaand, I need to stop craning my neck to get a better view of your watch!

I think you need to make an appointment with Kenny for a photoshoot! Or, dare I even say it, an Octavia Orgy...?

Not much really, maybe she's jealous?..
Here's a closer view of the watch, it is in 18K RG. I'm strange .. I love white metal rings but for dress watches i'd prefer RG. I wear a dress watch everyday, but I never do dress up.

What an incredibly beautiful, fiery stone! It looks amazing in it's sleek setting! Wear in good health!

[Dancing Fire]

I LOVE it!!! I still call first dibs if you (heaven forbid) ever upgrade it

I can handle a 2.75-3ct Octavia w/o any problem...

 

[MissGotRocks]

It is STUNNING! I am so happy for you DF! The stone is beautiful and the mounting is perfect for that stone!

Enjoy every sparkle of your new ring - love it!!!

You are bad, DF! Thanks to Jon that he has a passion for original, superior cut diamonds!!!

That is fabulous that it turned out VS2. It has perfect specs along with the fluorescence!!!! If I could change one thing about my diamond, it would be to add SBF!

Oh, and your watch is gorgeous!!! I love the rose gold!!!

Oh wow! That hits it out of the park! The setting and diamond compliment each other so well. And the weight!! Almost 15gr, I love hefty pieces. That sounds so lux to wear.
