Congrats on your upgrade, Dreamer! It is FAN-tastic! You are quite the picture taker. Keep those pics coming! Oh--and I really like the look of your e-ring with your eternity ring--so pretty.

Thanls HMR! I hope you are enjoying your own new upgrade too! Has it shrunk at all?

Funny you should ask....it started shrinking after about a week....

I think in about 20 years I''ll be ready to move up another carat! Shhhhh.....don''t tell the hubby.

Sigghhh mine shurnk too

I still like how it looks on my hand but it does not look huge. I have decided that huge ain''t gonna happen in this lifetime so I will most likely go for the three-stone look to get the wow factor without breaking the bank!

I love all of the other pictures you added of your ring! If you ever feel the need to upgrade I will take it off your hands!

P.S. It is huge you are just getting used to it. Have one of your friends put it on for a minute and you will see how big it is on their hand...it''s all in your head! LOL

DREAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks huge and yummy to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realized that I have not really posted any clear photos of my solitaire with my Dream half eternity band, also from BGD, so I did another little photo shoot!

I thought this might help others thinking about propotions.

The diamond is of course 1.66ct J VS1 and the half eternity is .55ctw H/I SI BGD signature melee, each diamond being 5 points.

The sun is just barely still out and the sky is clear! It was a gorgeous day here today, and nice for diamonds too

Forgive the fence in the backgroud. We are going for a shabby chic look in our yard

Instead of home repairs, I bought a diamond. Priorities people!

My favourite! Honestly, it looks this white and brilliant almost all the time. This is an amazing J. Total convert over here people!!

I love the dream band with your solitare...it looks perfect!!!!

As long as the scratching isn''t hurting the diamonds I''d wear them together all the time and just get a new "temp" setting every 5 years or so

LOL! I don''t think I will be parting with this lovely. It will just have many different homes over the years I think!

Good plan Bella

I really like them together too

the 5pointers really are the perfect size for your new stone

 

[Dreamer_D]

In the pictures you can see a birthmark on my middle finger... it was really faint before I had a baby and now it is so dark! So strange what pregnancy does to the body. Ok, random comment

 

[motownmama]

Looks amazing, white & BIG!

 

[onedrop]

Wow!!! I love the look of your new HUGE stone with the Dream eternity. Just gorgeous. Do you wear them together all the time?? And if so does the eternity band scratch your e-ring? Either way, the look wonderful together.

 

[gardengloves]

Dreamer.

Thanks for the new pictures and your impressions of the new stone. I just love when you write about diamonds with your rational analysis, comparisons and painstaking attention to details. It''s just the best, your new stone is a keeper- it looks just great and I really get a sense of your satisfaction. I''m so glad you made this move.

 

[wsblue430]

Oh my gosh!! Thats one sick J!!! DD..its gorgeous!! With your shared prong, its perfection!! I love your pictures! MORE!

 

[katiedid]

AWESOME pics of your big new diamond with your diamond band. Love it!!

I have been wearing the half eternity about half the time and my plain 3mm band the reast of the time. I like both looks equally so just wear what ever I am in the mood for. The half eternity has scratched by prongs a little. I suppose time will tell whether or not real damage is done. This setting was inexpensive and will probably not be my "forever" setting so I am not too concerned about damage at this point.

How did I miss this thread?!?

DD- your new stone is amazing! I love the setting! Congrats.
