Hi mrs-b I’ll try my best and post something later on today!

Thank you! Really looking forward to getting a better sense of proportion of it on your finger. I LOVE that size diamond - it's super elegant - and I think it's worth having some straight on shots, so anyone considering a ring of that size can get a sense of how it looks on the hand. Just gorgeous!

Love this!!! They did a beautiful job using your wedding band, it looks perfect! And perfect on your hand!

So I’ve managed to take a few photos tonight. The first and second pictures were taken with my hand closer to my phone whilst in the last photo my hand is stretched away from the camera.

By the way mrs-b I’m flattered that you like my ring! I’ve been reading PS for a number of years and have always followed your threads with interest. You have a beautiful collection of jewels and your opal ring is my favourite

No no, @X5M - you totally misunderstand! I don't 'like' your ring!

I LUUUUURVE your ring!! LIke - Love. Seriously. LoveloveLOVE!

It is the *perfect* size on your finger. It looks substantial yet elegant. Delicate yet eye catching. Beautifully made - with a gorgeous diamond! An HPI E VS1?? Whoa BABY!

I just don't think it's possible to do better than this. Congratulations on this example of flagrant good taste!

And - YES! A thin diamond band to go with it? OH YES!

Thank you for indulging me with these extra photos! And I'm so glad you like my opal ring: I'm a huge fan of that ring and it's one of my 'never gonna part with this' pieces! As I'm sure your fabulous e-ring is going to be for you.

From what I recall you are resetting your ring. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I love following your projects!

Gorgeous!!!

 

[peonyinlove]

that is absolutely lovely!

 

[X5M]

Thank you all for your kind comments!

 

[Austina]

3 words, simple, elegant, classic!

 

[lydial]

That is technical talent. And the owner: exquisite taste. Enjoy!

 

[X5M]

Well... I’m back with an update! In short, my heart missed what I originally had been wearing for 7 years so back it went to change the setting. This was done a few months ago but I’ve only just remembered to update this thread.

I originally had a 4 prong cathedral setting with a 1.8mm band with pave set diamonds and milgrain. I essentially went for the same but with a few tweaks. I opted for a 2mm band and non cathedral setting. I’m so glad I changed back although my purse isn’t!

Thank you!

 

[scouty]

It's beautiful! Really love this look better than the plain band for some reason. Looks so nice on your hands! Are you going to pair it with a wedding band too or just wear it alone?

 

[Big Fat Facets]

oh how beautiful!! i think it looks incredible on you!! i prefer this setting to the original setting!! all the elements appear much more in harmony.

may it bring you plenty of joy and delight!
