Forgot the specs! 1.38 IF J H&A Vatche 923 Royal Crown Platinum setting.

Correction: The color is J, not F, I was typing so fast I didn't realize my typo! Wasn't looking to misrepresent!

This is one of Jonathan's finest. It's from GoldOldGold (GOG).

She's saw the diamond and setting already. It was a big struggle deciding whether or not (or to what degree) to include her in the process. I really wanted the ring to be a total surprise. But, I did sooo much research here, that I knew that I wanted her to get the same "diamond education" that I did and really understand the quality that I was looking for. So we went to GOG together and picked it out.

I've lurked here for some time, and you guys turned me into a bit of a diamond snob!

 

[Ivy]

WHOA!!!! She is going to faint.

It's just amazing...beautiful...gorgeous...

There just aren't enough words to describe that ring.

All the best.

 

[sevens one]

Oh Wow. What an amazing stone.
That's just beautiful.

Correction: The color is J, not F, I was typing so fast I didn't realize my typo! Wasn't looking to misrepresent!

It was right at the outer limits of what I was willing to accept color-wise. The cut was so good that I couldn't pass it up.

 

[reena]

ummmm, if that's a J, then i want a J! it looks soooo freakin' white it's unbelievable. you really did well.

 

[lindsal]

That's it, I am now a convert to the six prong ring. The whole time we were shopping I just couldn't bring myself to like the looks of them, but slowly and surely after looking at all the six prongs on PS I now am a convert.




Great ring, and that J is super bright and beautiful. Best wishes for a happy engagement.

 

[JCJD]
