Gypsy Your ring is just beautiful ! :love: I dont mean to thread jack but I was wondering if I could ask you a question about Neil? I am also getting a ring done by Steven and need to have it appraised. Did Steven send your ring directly to Neil and then is mailing the ring to you or are you going to be meeting Neil and picking up your ring in person?

I live in CA and Neil is in Denver. He did my original appraisal 3ish years ago so it only made sense that I have him update it since I am redoing my ring. Steven sent it straight to him... then he will send it to me. =)

Thank you DT!
 
Thanks Gypsy :) My boyfriend also lives in CA so he would prefer the ring be sent directly to Neil and then to him. I think it is going to be very hard for me to wait patiently for him to propose knowing that its in his possession. My boyfriend said he doesnt want me trying the ring on before he proposes which is why he didnt want it sent to me and have me take it to be appraised locally as I live in NJ. The boyfriend never said I couldnt look at it however ..do you think requesting a pic counts as cheating hehe... Did Steven send you those pics of your ring?

No, the pics are Neils. As to whether looking at pics is cheating. That depends on your boyfriend :tongue: .

Honestly, Neil is the best so I think your boyfriend is doing the right thing. And hopefully he won't make you wait too long for it. What is Steven making for you?
 
It looks GREAT Gypsy!!! :love: I know you are going to love it! I really think you made the best decision.

My ring is going to be a baby version of Wintotty's ring except it will be with graduated carre cut stones instead of frenchies.
 
I'm not much of a halo fan, especially with step-cut center stones, but I gotta say, that last photo by Neil is amazing. Looks like it is going to be a stunner, and I hope you get to enjoy wearing your gorgeous e-ring a lot more than you have been. :appl:
 
No words, just... :love: :love: :love: :lickout: :love: :love: :love:
 
From the pics, I think you absolutely made the right call. The pave looks fantastic, and I think all the subtle changes are going to add up to a big WOW for you in terms of satisfaction with your ring and wear-ability. Can't wait to hear/see your reaction once you've got it on your hand!
 
Gypsy that turned out wonderfully!

I can definitely clearly see the differences, even in photos. They are subtle, but they are there... looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you get it!

Stephen did a great job of maintaining the profile, too :appl:
 
EXTREME close up of the halo after Steven re-did it! Should be here on Wednesday! Can't wait. Thanks everyone!

Before the re-set: for comparision.

The halo and diamond are set lower by about 2 mm as well. Should help with the knocking around.

subtle changes but really a huge difference. I think it looks more refined now (not that I didn't like it before!) It really is beautiful, I hope you wear it more often now :)
 
The smaller melee in the halo make your asscher look so much bigger, IMO! :love:
 
Even the subtle can make all the difference! That is just gorgeous Gypsy! Looking forward to the real life shots!!! :love:
 
Wow, what a difference! I always loved your original setting, and couldn't imagine how it could get better, but the reset looks as though that is the way your ring was always meant to be. Everything flows and is perfectly harmonious. I can't wait to see the IRL photos!

I agree!!
 
Bumping this up since I'll be stalking this thread all day waiting for handshots! :naughty:
 
Gypsy, I have to admit, as much as I absolutely LOVED your old ring, I am digging the smaller melee and the way the new halo accents the shape of the stone. And I'm so glad that the basket remained similar since I have always loved the streamlined look of it. I've been waiting for handshots to post again, but couldn't keep waiting :) I'm sure you're more eager to get the ring than anybody, but the rest of PS is biting its nails to see the new ring on your hand!
 
I too think the smaller melee make the center stone pop more - and that's always a good thing IMO!
 
Looks fabulous!!!! can't wait for more pics!!! so happy for you!!! :appl:

Ahem...we are waiting for hand pics! Did you get it today?
 
Gypsy, Did you get it??
 
Wow, it looks GREAT! :appl: Can't wait to see the whole thing!!!
 
HELLO Gypsy! Where are you? Where is that beautiful ring???? ;(

You're killing me over here!!! Don't make me get out MY voodoo doll! :lol:
 
Sorry everyone!!! Ring gets here tomorrow. My bad on the timing. I've been swamped at the new job. ((HUGS))

Lil... LOL.
 
Tell us again the color and weight of your asscher!
 
It's a 1.09 F VS1 Asscher 5.86 x 5.89.

=)
 
It really looks like a HW this time!!! :love:
