here are the first pictures of my wf pave ring!

[Kaleigh]

OMG, I''m in love with your ring!!!!!!! It''s just drop dead gorgeous, you must be thrilled. It''s huge!!!!

Thanks! From the pictures, I was wondering if I was going to have to go through the crooked prong thing again, but I think that the picture was just taken funny, because it looks great. This is a much more flattering setting for this stone. It looks so huge compared to the one that I had. Also, the band is much more substantial and thick--like a comfort fit. The other band was really thin and didn''t have that platinum feel.

Thanks to all of you for all your support and comments and thanks to Lesley and WF and Josh, Jim, and Jennifer at DCD for all your hard work!

What a great 10th anniversary gift!!!!

 

[Sundial]

How exciting!!! Your new ring looks fabulous on your hand and it is just stunning. I am so glad that you are pleased with this one. Congratulations!

 

[dazedland]

It is absolutely beautiful, WF did an excellent job setting it! The pictures from WF don''t do it justice it''s so much blingier (if that''s a word) on your hand. Very nice handshots too BTW. Maybe I should start practicing

The FedEx location where my ring will be going to is seriously a two minute walk from my apartment and it will be sitting there all day, lonely and sad without a finger for it until my bf gets out of work at 6pm and picks it up!

It looks wonderful on your hand!!!

Oh man, I always thought I''d love the 5 row Whiteflash pave ring, but now I think it would be hard for me to choose between it and the 3 row like yours. I guess I don''t have to worry, though...no one is buying me any new diamond rings.

It's GORGEOUS. It looks Perfect and your stone

 

[curlygirl]

Oh it is just drop dead gorgeous! It looks amazing on your hand--better than in the original pictures. It''s so white and sparkly and HUGE!!! Congratulations!!!!

[FireGoddess]

OMG sparkly and to die for. YUMMY!!! Looks fabulous on your finger. Is your heart beating any slower now? Mine just sped up! BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING from here on out...that thing is gonna be distracting!!!!!!

I''ve been driving around town staring at the ring. I wonder how many car accidents have been caused by this.

Mrssalvo and Kaleigh, thanks so much for all your help in the beginning of this process. You really encouraged me to get a setting that spoke to me and it worked. I thank you so much for all your PMs and your patience!!

You know, as I looked through this board, I began to wonder if my stone was big enough or pretty enough, but when I got this ring, all my questions were answered. I truly don''t feel like I cheated myself and don''t feel an ounce of disappointment that it isn''t bigger. I know that shrinkage sets in eventually, but I really do love this ring!!!

 

[sevens one]

OMG-
It''s huge and it''s amazing.

You lucky gal. I love it. (be careful in the car!)

 

[drk]

Wow, your ring is incredible, and it looks amazing on your finger. You SOOO made the right choice by changing to this setting (I just looked back at the previous one you weren''t happy with) - it really sets off the stone beautifully. Have you done any profile shots on your hand yet? Post all the photos you want to - I won''t be able to get enough of your ring!
Congratulations!

 

[s95]

Here''s a profile shot that''s a tad blurry, but that shows off the surprise diamonds. I love those!!

Thanks for all your compliments!! I''m going crazy with the ring and wearing it around the house at night which I never do!

haha aren''t those trips to the FedEx holding station the best? It''s like you''re going to the amusement park and you''re 5 years old again. But with a car. And a big fat diamond ring.

Mara, that''s hilarious!! That''s exactly how I felt. The anticipation was killing me and I couldn''t stop smiling. When I got into the car, I was winded from trying to open the double fedex boxes and then the VERY well sealed fedex padded envelope. My arms were actually tired!

My son was shouting, "do it, do it!" He''s 4 and 1/2.

 

[Dancing Fire]

WOW!!! that is beautiful

better drive carefully.

 

[hlmr]

I LOVE your ring!!!!!

Congratulations!

Heather

I know what you mean about those well sealed packages, and yes I always have a big s-eating grin on my face when I am tearing open those boxes. Adrenaline rush!
