Finally figured out the camera...

[bling*diva*]

~~Wow!!! Your ring is stunning!! I love the oval!!!!

 

[curlygirl]

Wow, it''s gorgeous!! So unusual and intricate. I love it!!!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

That''s beautiful!! Ovals deserve to be set as high as possible.

 

[didiamond]

For such a small finger that ring is HUGE!!!!!! But I have to say that it looks FANTASTIC on your lovely paraffined hand! I don''t think I would change a thing. You have the most unique ring and it looks fabulous with your oval! MORE PICTURES PLEASE!

I understand what you mean about placing pears on the sides and it looking like a plane. I had a pear shaped center stone with the pear sides and that''s exactly what I thought. Although, I have seen some beauties here on PS. I think it''s all in the size of the stones. The larger the pears, the more it looks like it''s going to fly off of your finger!

IF (and I hope not!) you decide to change your oval make sure your pears are the right proportion to your center stone. I think it would look pretty incredible with the pears too!

Miranda your ring is sooo pretty, I''m so glad you were able to post it!! It looks HUGE!

 

[Miranda]

Thanks Mara...Looking forward to seeing your new stone set!!

 

[sevens one]

wow- that''s huge.

 

[Odilia]

WOW!

That ring is absolutely gorgeous! Why would you want to change it???!! I love it!!

 

[Miranda]

Thanks Sevens and Old Fashioned...I don''t want to change it too much...I just want a three stone too. I figure, more diamonds is never a bad thing.

 

[Catmom]

Wow, that''s one of the most gorgeous rings I''ve ever seen!! I wouldn''t change anything about it. The setting is so intricate and I absolutely love how high the oval is set. It''s really a beautiful, beautiful ring.

 

[Shay37]

Miranda, your ring is just beautiful. do my eyes deceive me or is there absolutely NO bowtie in that stone? What a rarity. I LOVE the setting. It looks perfect on your hand. May I say I would envy your lovely hands, but I think I envy a DH who surprise upgrades and does it that well more than your hands.

San Diego Lady - Thank you for your kind comments!!! DH found the ring (and stone) at a little jewelry store near his old office in Orange. I think I read in a previous post by you that you enjoy the antique shops at the Orange Circle area (I apologize if that wasn''t you). The store is near there, but, closer to CHOC. I know you are in San Diego, but, I don''t know how familiar you are with Orange County. Anyway, it just so happens that this little place is near his favorite place to eat lunch so he visits them sometimes (usually when he needs to bribe me for something)

Everything we have gotten from them has been all sparkles.

Catmom - You are sweet!!! At first I thought the ring was way too high, but, I''ve quickly gotten used to it.

Shay - Thank you for the compliments!!! There is a bowtie in certain lighting situations. I was worried about the 68% depth, but, it is very sparkly none the less. I keep the hands is shape with paraffin and A&D cream (for diaper rashes LOL). DH is a keeper...I''m very hard to surprise and a huge brat, but, sometimes he is successful is surprising me!

Miranda,
just wanted to add that your ring is gorgeous! Love the intricacy and the delicacy of the setting and how it makes the center stone pop!

There''s one place we go to all the time.. just south of where they sell those awful zoot suits.. its an antique store and the antique jewelry part is in one little corner of it. I just love going there, they have the most lovely things. Its actually where I got the idea for my engagement ring. I saw a three stone sapphire and diamond ring and fell in love with it. There''s only one other store I go into there, and its almost next door to the zoot suit store. I have never, in my life, seen suits as loud as those they have in the window. lol

Your ring is gorgeous.. If I found that setting, I''d place an oval sapphire in the center and wear it as my rhr

. Just stunning.

I''ll have to look for that store the next time I am shopping around there. I''ll just look for the zoot suits LOL! When DH worked near there we''d take the Metrolink to that station and eat and shop around there. I could spend all day in those little shops. I love antique jewelry and furniture...I don''t have any, but I love it.

The zoot suit place is on the corner of the first building as you walk south down the right hand side of the street from the center of town. Its hilarous. I love going there too, to look at the lavendar colored depression glass. I love it. We spend all day there going through shops and then doing lunch at the 50s diner around the corner.

Did you have a shake at the diner??? They are the best!!! I''m planning on going to the Orange Circle sometime soon to hunt for some McCoy pottery. I''ll have to check out a zoot suit for DH LOL!

 

[Small]

Wow...your ring is gorgeous

 

[plantationcatt]

That is one of the most beautiful, if not THE most beautiful, rings I have ever seen. I mean it is stunning. I would not ever upgrade that thing, you can''t improve on perfection! Think of it this way--if you have it on the left hand, more people will notice it and think, "D***!" but if it''s on your right hand, not as many people will stare--they might even think it''s fake (from a distance--up close it''s too nice to be!) But, you know, you could just upgrade and use this as a RHR and then leave it in your will for me, that would be okay!

I am so jealous!

 

[Miranda]

Thanks so much for the compliments Small and Cinderella.

Plantation - Are you sure my hubby didn''t pay you to say that???

You are too sweet! I''d leave it to you in my will, but, you''d have to fight my three year old daughter for it...She loves to wear it!

 

[moon river]

Stunning. Well worth the wait for figuring out the camera. I think it''s one of the most beautiful rings I''ve ever seen. It kinda reminds me of TomKats ring which I also love. Enjoy every minute you wear it.

 

[Miranda]

DH was messing around with the camera and took this one on the tip of his finger. That's as far as it goes. There's about 100lb. weight difference and 1 ft. in height between us. Just thought it was funny!

 

[icekid]

aww, hehe tell you hubby it looks adorable on him

seriously though, I looooooove that setting. please don''t change it, ever!!
