Lynn-

This new set is Perfection (note the capital P)!!!!!

After seeing your new masterpiece I wrote on my "wish-list chalkboard" FISHTAIL in big caps and BF said "I''m not even going to ask what that means..."

Congratulations on making such a beautiful choice!

Congrats......Your Friend........

Awwwwww, thanks Rod! Your post made me smile (and *blush* a little, too!)

 

[Leila]

Lynn, your new set in gorgeous! I thought your old set was great too but I can see what you mean about how this new set seems to showcase your fabulous diamond more.

 

[Lynn B]

Thanks everyone, for the very kind words! It is so nice to be able to share the excitement with all of you! xoxoxo!

FFF, Haha -- your post made me LOL. We sure are a bunch of trouble-makers and enablers around here, aren''t we?!!

I still can''t believe this beautiful set of rings is MINE!!!

 

[Lynn B]

OH, someone asked for a photo of my old set... here goes.

Semi-eternity, shared prong, custom made by Whiteflash w/ .03 ACA melee. Ring size 4.75.

[peonygirl]

Wow, I love your ring! May I ask why you decided to get it reset from the shared prong?

 

[Shay37]

I can only second what everyone else seems to be saying. Oh, Lynn!!! I LOVE it! Exquisite work by WF (of course) and it looks perfect on your hand. Just a perfect finish.

Peonygirl,
My shared prong rings were lovely... but I had worn them long enough to really learn what I liked about them and what I didn''t. They were less than half-eternity and the spinning really made me crazy. The e-ring would spin left and the w-ring would spin right and plain platinum would show at each end. Not a HUGE problem, but one that bugged me every day. Plus I wished I had used 2 pointers instead of 3 pointers... to get the rings a little thinner, to help make the center stone *pop* even more. There were a few other reasons, too... but it was never because the rings were uncomfortable, or problematic. There were just certain elements I wished were different... and then when I saw this ring, made by WF -- I knew that with a little "tweaking" this would be the ring of my dreams. And voila -- I was so right! I simply ADORE my new rings, they are SO "me" and I intend on wearing them until I am a wrinkled up little old lady!

This ring was posted by Shucash a few months ago, and was the inspiration for my new set.

Hey Lynn, you''ll have to add pics of you new ring to the WF custom thread here

Thank you for the reminder, I would have forgotten!

*Done!*

 

[HOUMedGal]

How come I just found this thread?!?! I can''t believe I missed it!

Lynn, it''s SPECTACULAR!!! I looooooooooooooooooove the new setting, it''s just gorgeous! Of course, I''m a little partial to fishtail pave, but...hehe. It really sets off your rock wonderfully! I love it!!!

 

[TravelingGal]

Good God! No wonder people on PS are always thinking of ways to upgrade settings, stones, etc. How can they resist it when they see something like this? Making a gorgeous ring even gorgeouser! (Yes, I know that''s not a word.)

Congrats...it''s really perfect!!!

 

[Lynn B]

Thanks Annie and TravelingGal and others for the notes!

I am sure a''lovin'' these rings.

No regrets and nothing I would do differently. WOW, that feels *GREAT*!!!

I have a few more photos to post...
Dang old Sony Dinosaur just REFUSES to capture any arrows, though! DRATS!

As soon as I decide which one, I really am going to buy a new camera!!!

 

[Lynn B]

I thought this one was kind of neat and gives a nice "to scale" idea after all the hugely magnified shots. Yikes, forgive the poor narfed up hands. Cooking casualties! (I should definitely wear mitts more often!)

 

[dbgaap]

what a difference! I just love it! It looks more comfortable, it eliminates the spinnage, the smaller size melee stones definitely give a different look - someone said shimmery.

such subtle changes but the overall impact is that now it's magical.
It was truly beautiful before but I can see the new element of magic in the way it all comes together.
congratulations!!
well done!

 

[fatafelice]

LOVE the fishtail pave! LOVE the head! LOVE the pics!

Congrats on finally getting your awesome set! It is truly a work of art!

 

[cutes814]

Oh, Lynn, it is so yummy!!! I want one too! Keep the pics coming, you are WAAAAAY behind Mara. Hee.

 

[Lynn B]

Took a few more photos. Egads, I am pedaling as fast as I can but I just can''t catch up to Miss Mara!

Our dinosaur Sony seems to have a pretty good macro mode but the darn thing just REFUSES to capture and arrows.

I am getting quite irritated!

If THIS keeps up, I am going back to taping a loupe to the front of my el cheap-o camera!

 

[Sundial]

Yummy new picture Lynn! I really did like your old set, but the new one is even more stunning!!! My ring is also eternity except for a sizing band on the bottom and I think it is the perfect compromise that allows only the diamonds to show but still permits sizing if needed.

 

[Kaleigh]

Love that pic Lynn. Gotta keep them comin to catch up to miss Mara, LOL!!

 

[luvsdiamonds]

wow, I don''t know what to say but your set is gorgeous!

 

[Lynn B]

Thanks everyone! You guys are too, toooooo sweet!

I really like this picture:

 

[Lynn B]

I also like this picture of the two rings nestled together. They are so delicate and gorgeous. I wish you guys could see them in person!

[ilovesparkles]

OOooo I just love the new pics, keep them coming pretty please!

[Lynn B]

I just can''t say it enough. I ADORE these rings! They really ARE *PERFECT*!

And I solemnly swear -- NO MORE CHANGES!!!

 

[Lynn B]

I hope the fishtail design detail doesn''t look "sharp" or "harsh" in all these mag photos. In reality, it is so soft and smooth and subtle... yum! Truly divine!

 

[Lynn B]

Last one, then off to bed I go... to dream of beautiful baubles!
