My engagement ring is an OEC in a halo which I absolutely love. I find that I don't wear it very often though since I have littles and I'm worried about damaging it. My finger feels naked without an e-ring (lol) so I've been wanting a ring that I could wear daily. That set me on a hunt for a lab OEC or OMC that I could set in a simple solitaire but they are so hard to find in my size/color/shape/budget preferences. One day when I was browsing, I came across this oval that I thought was rather beautiful in the video, so I took a chance and ordered it. When it came in, I was surprised at how much I liked it ( never considered myself an oval person) but was wondering if I could go bigger.
While I was thinking it over, I tried selling the diamond (not very hard though since I was on the fence, ha), but the more I sat with it and saw it in different lights, the more I started to love it. The oval sparked beautifully and I started to think that the size was, in fact, really great for everyday wear- not too big/not too small. One or two days into listing, I received a kind message where a lovely person shared that although they weren't able to purchase, they were just reaching out to share that they thought it was great size on me. That sealed the deal for me and I decided to keep it! I took down the listing and started to look for setting options. In my search, I came across this gorgeous vintage oval ring.
Taking inspiration from this, I reached out to David Klass to see if he could create a two-tone solitaire setting for me and he did not disappoint. It's platinum and 14k and here are pre-shipping glamor shots:
Per my request, he'll be thinning down the east west prongs just a smidge and then shipping it out. I'm so looking forward to receiving this and will share hands shots, in case it may be helpful to someone considering this size/shape for a ring.
