Finally - the RING!

[wallace]

Thanks Everybody who helped me get through all this - I would have given up without your support! I am sure someone will call me an hypocrite, but we got an Elara anyway. This is not the ring of my original thread. That ring was returned and should be banished from all memory! FI found another ELara dealer in the area - b/c he really wanted me to have what I had chosen - and they worked very hard to make him happy. I am ecstatic!!!!!!!!!!

Elara three-stone ring - they all same but size/clr/clar/ combo.
1.23ct FB center E,VS1
.51ct FB sides (x2) D,SI1
.01ct RB mounting stones (x
platinum 950 band - width 3mm
size - 5.5 - b/c my big knuckle, the finger itself is a 5!
Can you belive the size of my knuckles!

EDITED TO ADD - On size, I meant that, despite the fact that the band is a little big - I am not experienceing the dreaded spin.

[wallace]

still more... see how the stones appear to float?!!

OK, OK! Last one - over-excited since I had to wait so long. I want to make sure you can make a good composite out of all these not so great pictures! Better pictures on the Elara site.

 

[wallace]

Well, I don't seem to be able to post any better pictures - I can't post any at all now! so, hopefully your imaginations can overcome these pictures and you see how well it shines!

Nice Ring...Glad everything turned out for you...Wear it in good health!

 

[fire&ice]

Very Pretty. I bet it looks great on your fingers. People with larger knuckles look the best w/ 3 stone rings. Great Selection!

 

[Mara]

Lovely, wallace! I really like that setting actually. Congratulations and glad everything finally worked out. My size is a 6, but my finger is really more like a 5.5...my knuckles are kind of big too!

How very pretty. Any chance of closer shots? I would love to see the stone cut details.

Wallace,

That's a LOT of diamond packed in that ring!!!!!

Beautiful setting, more pictures please! I can't get enough of this one!

I am so glad your fiance was persistant on this one, and now you have the ring of your dreams!

Best wishes!

Wallace, very beautiful. I like the way the stones look from the side, too. I like the way you can see lots of diamond. Congrats and best wishes.

Wallace, it's beautiful! I think a lot of us have knuckles that are larger than the rest of our finger. It's just one of those things you have to live with.

Oh Wallace!

Your ring is exquisite!! It's beautiful. I love the setting. It's a neat twist on the traditional three- stone look. Any chance of more close-up pics? I'd love to see that ring out in the sun!! Congratulations! You've waited so long and I'm so glad it turned out this gorgeous.

Amazing! Love the Flanders look.

What are the dimensions of the center stone?

 

[openhelix]

Beautiful ring! Most of all, I'm glad you got what you wanted!! god-willing, you'll have it a LONG time!

 

[Beansy]

Wow, I went back to check out some of your posts because you said you went a different way that you initially thought. I was amazed at all the pictures you posted and researched for your sweetheart. How romantic and thoughtful. She will enjoy it not only because it's a beautiful ring, but also because you wanted a beautiful ring for her.

Congratulations.

 

[wallace]

Thank you all very much for your wishes and compliaments!!!

I took some gorgeous pics today! And not a single one of them turned out - 72 images of absolutely nothing! So, I just ordered an inexpensive little dig cam with a macro fxn. -
www.daydeals.com - good site! I will try again this weekend!

I have depth and table measures but GIA doesn't do crown height and pavilion. Doesn't matter becuase there are no published specs. Depth 68.5% and table 59% (I'm not sure what that means). Is that OK for an FB cut? Girdle Medium. Pol/Sym v.good and no fluor. no culet. Meas. 6.24x6.23x4.27 - I hope that's good!?!!?

If it's not - don't tell me. I love it no matter what!

Till the weekend...

these pictures showed some sparkle but it is no lost in the transfer - these were the new pictures you've asked for but they look awful, too. The gif file did not load - that was sparkly!


What kind of cameras/settings are you all using?
