Colored diamond trio: finally set!

[platinumrock]

I just wanted to apologize in advance for being a thread-hog (To quote TL..haha). I wanted to wait until Olive''s thread died down, but I feel like I''m going to explode if I wait any longer to share these rings. I''m so excited!

Once again, LOGR did a fabulous job with these rings. All upgraded to 18K gold and H VS diamonds.

Thanks in advance for letting me indulge!

Oh, good gravy!! These are amazing! I love how the graish yellow is enhanced, but my fav is the champagne. BEAUTIOUS!!!!!

 

[luv2sparkle]

So very beautiful, my are you a lucky woman! How did you acquire such beauties! It is almost too much to take in!

 

[chiquitapet]

Wow!! Stunning trio!!

 

[ArtistJess]

absolutely beautiful!

where did you find the stones?

 

[poshpepper]

OMG... this is like colored diamond overload (in a good way!!!)

There are so many things I like about all of them... but something about that cushion is just so beautiful... I love the cut and color!!!
I love the color on the pear and love the setting combo of the round... just perfect... I agree LOGR did a great job on the settings and you did a great job picking perfect matches for your stones

ETA --- I love that you named them... so cool

Okay, you have nothing on me for being a thread-hog. I think I win the award for that. LOL!!

BTW, your new rings are fantabulous, but I'm curious. I typically understand where your diamond nicknames come from, but why "Ms. N." for the greyish yellow???? Am I missing something totally obvious here?

Hand shots!!!

 

[packrat]

Beautiful! I especially like the pear! haha I like that you named them too! And jeez, are you new? Where''s the handshots lady?

 

[PumpkinPie]

Upgradable, Chiquitapet and Stci, thank you! I'm glad you like them!

Luv2sparkle and ArtistJess, thank you! My luck comes from being good friends with a colored diamond dealer, so I get really good deals on stones when they come in. Self-control is a must, otherwise I'd end up homeless and divorced.

Poshpepper, thank you! I'm glad you like the setting combo because I've never had LOGR's, halos and bezels before. It was pretty risky since I was never into them in the past. But something about the settings spoke to me when I saw the pics in the listing, and I just envisioned the stones in them with the metal colors. So I pretty much went with my instict and tried to decide what was best for each stone. Thank goodness they were to my liking in person, and LOGR did a great job with all of them. It's really worth the extra money to upgrade the gold and diamonds. If it was up to me, I'd wear all 3 rings but even my husband thinks that would be tacky. Haha! Most of the time, I'm torn betwen the cushion and pear. Oh, and thanks for not thinking I'm a freak for naming my stones.

TL, thanks for the kind words! You crack me up with your thread-hog comment! But seriously, you always have yummy eye-candy to share and valuable advice to offer, so you can hog all you want. Okay, regarding Ms. N. When I first saw her loose, she reminded me of an N colored diamond. She looked warm, slightly tinted with the typical candle-light glow of stones in the M-N-O range. I think it's because of her yellow-green fluoro. When I put her next to 2 pear CZ's, I definitely saw her grayish yellow shade. And I finally took handshots so I'll be posting them shortly.

Packrat, thank you! You know what's sad? I've been a member since 2005 and I have less than 2000 posts. I lurk most of the time and post when I see something spectacular of if I have something new to share. Working on that though. But I do have handshots for you.

Maevie, Tuckins, Bella_mezzo, Luckyeshe, Diadiva, Naty H&A, Oddoneout, Taylorbug, PinkAsscher, Marcy and Princessplease, thank you all for the kind comments!

Just to warn you, I''ve been eating double anchovy pizza the past few days so my hands look sausagy. The rings barely fit. But I''m willing to subject myself for my fellow PS''ers.

I even painted my nails, put on lotion and shaved my knuckles for you guys.

Here''s one of Olive and Korbel in the shade. Please excuse the finger pudge.
