Oh firegoddess!!!!!

WOW! I don''t know what to say.....it''s simply beautiful!! So delicate and dreamy!!

Congrats on your perfect rings!

Oh yeah, and thanks for getting that song stuck in my head!!!

 

[chellebelle]

FG~
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

I was actually thinking about you the other day, wondering how your ring was coming along. When I saw this thread, I was so excited, I quickly scrolled down to the pics! I've been dying with anticipation!

And WOW, it is so incredibly gorgeous.

It is very delicate and the setting and band compliment and showcase your beautiful pear perfectly. And so much sparkle! I'm glad your wait is finally over (and I'm sorry you had to go through all that!). The end result really is amazing. I love it!

P.S. More pics please! I've been dying to see your ring and now that it's here, I can't get enough!

 

[onedrop]

I literally said "ohhhhhhhh" when I saw the first pic! I LOVE that thin band with your pear. And that halo is just perfect to compliment the center stone. Love it!!

Wow what a stunning set...I love it...it's very unique, I caught my breath when I saw the 2nd loupe picture, I love the look of the stone iself AND the setting...it's just exceptional!

One question...the 'side shot' shows that the pear basically rests up on a thin pedestal the width of the band, kind of like how my RB is set so that the rings can be flush, but since yours is a pear it has much more 'length' than mine, does that pedestal look bother you at all from the side view? Or are you afraid with a good hard knock that you could entirely take off the stone/head? That was my first thought when I saw that pic, since the ring itself is so thin that it seems more 'precarious' than a RB would....did you address this with your jeweler or am I just being paranoid?

Regardless, the set is absolutely stunning and it honestly made me re-think a PEAR!!! Just lovely. ENJOY!

That is the most beautiful pear setting I have seen. It is so delicate and dainty. I love it. I''m sure you are beaming with delight, as it was well worth the wait.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

[diamondlil]

FireGoddess,
I''m sooooo happy for you and glad that all your anguish is behind you. I can totally appreciate your emotional upset and frustration with what it took to get to this point. I''m glad I could be there for you to vent when necessary. Lord knows it was helpful for me to do the same at so many points along the way of my journey.

Your rings are so beautiful. That pear is so clear, and I am a big fan of super icy-white stones. Love it!!!!! The shanks on your rings are so delicate, and I know that is exactly what you wanted. The jeweler did such a nice job.

Enjoy wearing your new masterpiece. Over the next week or two, they will become more and more a part of you, and you''ll never want to part with them.

Love the blurry fire pic!

 

[snow_happy]

FireGoddess,

AMAZING! WONDERFUL! I''m totally drooling. Your ring is so fantastic, unique and elegant. I absolutely love it!!!

 

[rms]

woweeeeee.....GORGEOUS!!!

 

[FireGoddess]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful compliments - I''m really enjoying wearing these rings!!! I do have to return the e-ring today though

to have the pear adjusted - it''s set slightly tilted and while no one notices but me, it''s on my finger and I see it all the time...and it will drive me bonkers over time, I just know it. So back it goes for a little while...

That was my first thought when I saw that pic, since the ring itself is so thin that it seems more ''precarious'' than a RB would....did you address this with your jeweler or am I just being paranoid?

Mara, I have to say that when I first opened the ring box and saw the e-ring I was slightly shocked - I fully expected there to be support bars going from the stem of the ring to the tip of the pear, and to the back of the pear. It did make me instantly think of the head on your ring. The pear halo really ended up looking more the way the DCD micropave halos look than I wanted it to...the metal on the halo itself is vertically taller than I wanted it to be, and the whole thing is suspended from that U pedestal at the bottom whereas I I was expecting some support beams. The look has actually grown on me to the point where I really like it, and see that this allows the w-band to sit flush with the e-ring, but I do harbor small concerns that a very hard blow could knock the whole head off. The U pedestal flares out wider than the actual width of the band, and I think this is a durability thing, as is the height of the metal on the halo. But when I give the ring back to the jeweler today I am going to make sure that these concerns are discussed with her again. When I first called her to tell her that I just got the rings from DH (who picked them up) I told her I was surprised there were no support bars, and she said they would be easy to put in if I wanted them...but I think that if the setting is stable the way it is, I may not add them. I''m worried that I might not like them once they''re put on. I adore the way the ring looks head on...it''s exactly what I wanted. I''ll have to talk to her about the stability thing.

My jeweler liked how my ring came out so much, she''s having it done the same way for a beautiful marquise she just bought!

 

[flopkins]

Oh FG- I''ve been periodically following your story - and I''m so glad that it all came out so well!!!! Hooray!

It looks gorgeous........

 

[Mara]

FG I agree the head on shots are just divine and *make* the set, and if you have already grown attached to how the ring looks from side profile, and the jeweler feels as though the head is stable, don''t bother with the support bars! Sometimes I feel as though my head is a bit unstable parked on this piece of metal but it hasn''t come off yet.
