Anyone for a Marquise?

[got2goldens]

Hi there...I lurked here for longer than I care to admit and have only posted a couple of times, but I finally got DH to take decent pics of my Marquise solitaire and my wedding band.

Solitaire:
1 cttw
Color H,
Clarity SI1
The setting is cathedral with 5 channel-set diamonds on each side.
I got this solitaire before I discovered PS, but I still love it because it was an upgrade, and it actually sparkles a lot.

Band:
Eternity, bead set
.50 cttw
Color G
Clarity SI1

Hopefully there are some people on here that still like Marquise!

This pic is of the set together.

Another of the 2 rings together.

This is the solitaire by itself.

 

[got2goldens]

Another of the solitaire alone. Sorry these are kind of blurry!

Last one, just the wedding band.

Very, very pretty. Marquise are hard to photograph IMHO so I bet it looks even more gorgeous in person. I love your band with the Marquise.

 

[marcy]

Very pretty; your rings look great on your hand too.l

Very pretty! I love a marquise!

 

[got2goldens]

You guys are so nice!

Lisa, you''re right about them being hard to photograph...that''s why I recruited DH, ''cause I was REALLY no good at it!

Good to see a marquise here!

I predict we will see a lot more in the next few years

Hi Bebe!
I think you are correct. I know a LOT of people do like them set east-west...I have given that some thought but need adequate time for DH to get past this upgrade first...

pardon my naivete... but what does DH stand for?

 

[joflier]

Great set!!!! your marquise looks very pretty!

Cleo,
Sorry! DH is short for Dear Husband.
I probably should have just said "hubby" but I was so excited to get those pics up, I abbreviated it.

Beautiful!!! I love marquise!!!

 

[mrscushion]

A very pretty marquise. I particularly like the setting, too, as well as the band. Both very classic and sparkly.

 

[Lorelei]

I love it, looks gorgeous!!

 

[Tuckins1]

Beautiful! I just love the setting... Your finger is covered in sparkle!

 

[geckodani]

Gorgeous! Love the marquise - such a fun shape and one you don''t see as much anymore. Very cool.

 

[Mediterranean]

That''s a beautiful set!

I love the mix of shapes with rounds/center marquise. I really adore fancy shapes. They draw my eye because I don''t see them as often, and this is a very pretty, very eye catching set!

[vespergirl]

Beautiful, congrats!

 

[motownmama]

It looks really pretty and BIG on your hand - I wouldn''t consider resetting it E/W - I think it looks fantastic in a more traditional setting - I''m a fan!!!!!!!

 

[beechezz]

I love your set. There is something about the marquise that just intrigues me. I could look at that all day!

 

[got2goldens]

You guys are all so sweet!

Honey there are very few diamonds we don''t like around here!

That''s a lovely shape, very classic.

You don''t see many marquise anymore (at least I don''t) and I''m a fan of the cut I think they are very beautiful
Your ring is stunning too! Love them both!
