I wanted to thank everyone who helped me in my idea to get to the five stone of my dreams. I started with the search for a very blingy ring, but quickly realized that I did not want too much. Post by @Dancing Fire in my last thread finalized this thinking. I wanted something of an extremely high quality and size did not matter that much.

The ring is 1.15 ctw of G/VS1 diamonds. As Ideal cut vendors were not accessible for me in Europe, I went with the local vendor who was willing to bring in a large parcel of stones and let me inspect them. All diamonds have visible hearts and arrows and I made sure to scrutinize each and every of them under idealscope and under the loupe before accepting them for a ring.

I chose a custom setting to make sure that it wears well. European shank helps against spinning and bars allow for max finger coverage without being over the top.

I was very worried about comfort, so bar setting was a perfect solution - no poking between fingers possible and the stones are still very safe

Thank you - I am so positively surprised by the presence of this band. When I started my search, I was sure that 25 pointers are way too small and I should go up to 40 pointers.

Gorgeous piece! All your effort certainly paid off.

Thank you. It was definitely worth it spending time to get a clear idea in order to be able to communicate this to the jeweller

Beautiful!

I love how sculptural the ring turned out. I am absolutely in awe about the combination of U profile and clean bar prongs from the top

Thank you so much. I took nearly 1.5 years time to finalize my thinking on how I want this to be and I am confident that I will like it still when some years pass

Looks perfect on your hand! Congratulations!

I appreciate this!!

Thank you! Indeed lately I was really paying much attention to adding the right pieces and with the right quality.

It looks so good on your finger! Nice choice. Really can't beat a good 5 stone band.

I am so surprised how much bling it is. This band totally outshines my nearly 1.5 ct solitaire
 
Beautiful ring, a 5 stone is on my bling list!!! This looks like it is going to be great to wear!!

Sofar, I absolutely love it. The key for me was to become clear how and where I want to wear it in order to make the right choices
 
It is blingtastic! it's beautiful.. great choice.
 
Gorgeous ring! You did very well! Hope you love it every day!

Beautiful! :love:Looks so pretty on you.:appl:
 
Beautiful ring. Congratulations!!
 
Beautiful ring!:clap:
 
Many many thanks for your kind compliments. i still enjoy every single day I wear it and the fact That it is super sparkly and blinding white. Investing into the quality of the stones and not the size was the right decision for this specific project.

Most of my diamonds are in the near colorless range because of me being pragmatic , but in this very case I am so happy to have splurged.

Here are a couple of handshots - just because we have some great weather and the light was good.

I am astonished how much presence this band has even compared to my 1.36ct solitaire
 
Wow! It's gorgeous. Congratulations.

Congrats on that amazing 5 stone band!
