How a PS/WF GTG created the perfect diamond storm. . .

[Natylad]

I've been going through some rough times lately, with difficulties at work, etc. and i'm not in a good mood but this afternoon i signed in on PS and saw your ring and it put a smile on my face. It is truly wonderful. Just looking at it makes me feel happy!!
On another note, i really wish i could join all of you guys in one of those GTG's but unfortunately it is impossible because i live in Greece. PS has been like a second home and family for me and i'm grateful for everything that i've learnt here and for all the encouragement and great advice that i have received through the years....

Oh, Naty, how special your words are to me! I am sorry for your troubling times; just know that nothing good or bad lasts forever. I hope you find yourself in the good again sooner rather than later. You are such a sweetheart and I so appreciate your kinds words about the ring - humble thanks to you!

Thanks mrs-b! It is so much better than the original ring! I asked Leon to cut into the band underneath the center stone to make room for the larger head/stone. I also asked for a small donut at the base of the head so that the rings didn't sit tightly flush. It creates the smallest gap so that the rings do have a bit of separation and the larger stone doesn't overhang the band. I figured he would tell me it wouldn't work but he liked the idea and he made it work. Such a win-win!!

Thanks - I really never envisioned owning a 2.5 carat diamond but I do love the size! I don't think I'll ever want to upgrade the size though - especially in the three stone setting.

Oh @MissGotRocks... The most beautiful rock in the most perfectly-adjusted setting

Your profile comparisons on Pg2 of this thread tell a story that would take more than a thousand words to convey, I think. WF did marvellous work, and the slightly exaggerated center-to-side ratio looks right at home on your finger And I have to say, I fall for that "centerstone covers most of the band next to it" look of your last addition every time Your set is IMO simply the epitome of classic three-stone.

I *so* wish I'd been there to see you choose your stone!!! I very much hope to meet you and your baubles one of these days

Oh, Yssie, thank you for your comments! Keeping the three stone intact yet keeping it visually pleasing was a challenge I thought. I was prepared to go back to a solitaire setting if it didn't turn out well although hubby and I both hoped that the three stone would work. Leon not only made it work but this rendition is more pleasing than what I originally had and I marvel at his workmanship on the ring! Providing that donut to keep the rings a bit more separate AND keeping the stone from overhanging the band was another challenge that he seemingly met with ease. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

I truly missed the opportunity to have met you and would have loved to have heard your thoughts on the stone. However, family is always first and foremost and I certainly understand that. I too hope that our paths will cross one day. I have always admired your eye for detail and would love to see your collection as well!! A cyber hug will do for now though!!

Thank you! This setting has housed a 2.0, a 2.22, a 2.19 and now a 2.53 stone. I have loved them all but really like the size of this stone with the side stones. Guess I'm not much on wasting a setting - lol!!

I just remembered that these pro photos from WF were deleted and I was asked by moderator to remove the watermark. I am adding them back after modification.

Sorry this took so long!
