Re: Arrived just in time for Christmas- 5 stone ring finishe
Yes, this may help another PSer if considering a five (or three) stone ring. Reading others helped me. I took screenshots of 5 stone rings I liked the porportions of when viewing. Then, I used the "edit" on my phone to write on the pic the measements of the diamonds (if available). Helpful. PSers also chimed in with their thoughts on measurements in discussions. Again, helpful.
One older thread I read on PS suggested to cut out little circles in the mm sizes, then tape them across the finger for a visual. That was a bit of a laugh
! I tried! Lol! Lots of confetti!
I wear a 4.8/5 ring size in a 3mm-ish band. This ring is a size 5 and is slightly.... (slightly) "loose" on my finger (won't slide off, just use to a bit more of a "struggle" to remove).
Center:
2.16 RB, H, GIA 3X, (HCA⬇2), SI2 (eye clean)
Top sides:
.42/.40, G, GIA 3X, (⬇2), SI2 (fully eye clean)
Lower sides:
.18 each, G, GIA 3X, (⬇2 ), IF (too bad my center isn't IF!!)
These two stones also came with a Canadian certificate of some sort. Think it means certified conflict free (?). Or region/mine in Canada the diamonds came from (?). There is a maple leaf inscription after GIA # on the girdles.
Thank you all for the compliments!

Re: Arrived just in time for Christmas- 5 stone ring finishe
TY!
Anybody know? I bought a Jewel Jet Steam cleaner and a Gemoro Ultrasound (once again, based on PS threads). Used them on my origional solitary. Sparkle city .
The ultrasound- will a shared prong ring be safe? My new ring? I know pavé is risky. What about my ring?
I read I can put a paper towel down on the bottom to help the ring from bouncing when cleaning or use a wire and suspend the ring while cleaning (again to avoid bouncing & dislodging stones). Thoughts?

Re: Arrived just in time for Christmas- 5 stone ring finishe
Aww! Thank you Lovedogs! Wasn't originally meant to be a recommitment ring, but hey, I'm in!! My husband had the priest bless the ring after mass last night before he "proposed" at our dinner. Makes it legit!
My hub didn't want to ask me in the middle of the restaurant so we asked the server if the courtyard out back was open. The waitress told us it was not, but added she would open the back door so we could sneak out for a second. It was pretty cute. The courtyard looked how one would imagine a courtyard looking in the middle of winter. Not a lot going on visually, but the spontaneity was beyond perfect! The only light we had was from the restaurants kitchen window shining through to light our path.......quiet, quaint. Maybe even more romantic than the origional in 2000?. I think it was!
Lol! Not sure why pics are sideways? I was thinking possibly it was all the wine last night, however, in other locations the pictures posted normal.
Thank you everybody for joining me on this journey! I need to get back to cooking!! Happy Holidays to all and Merry Christmas!

What a great guy, having your priest bless the ring! Congratulations on 15 years and still thinking of the details to make each other feel happy and appreciated!cinnamonstick|1451063944|3966143 said:Aww! Thank you Lovedogs! Wasn't originally meant to be a recommitment ring, but hey, I'm in

Re: Arrived just in time for Christmas- 5 stone ring finishe
Oh I love this so much!! The ring is perfect, the proportions of the stones and the beautiful trellis....looks right at home on your hand and oh sooo sparkly!!
And how lovely and romantic is your story about the proposal in the court yard...so sweet!! And I love that the ring was blessed too. Enjoy your beautiful e-ring!! Will you wear a band with it, or wear it as a stand alone?

Re: Arrived just in time for Christmas- 5 stone ring finishe
All good things must come to an end.
JFDN, I plan to wear the ring as a stand alone. I have a wide, plain band (8mm?) I was married in along with the origional e-ring. I will wear the band when I do not want to wear a diamond (IE exercising, ....if I can remember what that is, travel, work at times). Otherwise, "stand alone" which is why I tried to pick a setting that didn't look like it needed a wedding band beside it.
Cokitty, Crystal24k, Marcy, thank you!

My original ER is a shallow cut. I had no clue what I was missing with diamonds that are ex. cut. Seriously.

Re: Arrived just in time for Christmas- 5 stone ring finishe
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I don't know how I missed this, but it's GORGEOUS!! You won't believe this, but, you can see from my posts, I've been trying to get a ring that looks like this with almost these exact proportions since my DH decided to upgrade my e-ring for Christmas! One of my side stones and my two smallest stones are from my original e-ring, which had a .43 center and .25 sides. It ended up too wide for my finger due to the end stones being set too high. We've had a terrible time trying to get our local jeweler to make it right. (And spent a fortune in the meantime.) They are currently trying to make the end prongs shorter. And in the meantime, I upgraded to a 2.03 center. Your ring is EXACTLY what I was looking for in terms of trellis shape and proportions. If this latest "fix" doesn't work, I think I'll get an estimate for a new setting from ID Jewelry. (Or, I may wait a year or so and do it anyway.) Enjoy & wear it in good health!!
