HPD NY Classic featuring a 1.23 E SI2 CBI

Love it! And I love it stacked! I told future hubby I want a fitted band to match my new ER. AND another semi-eternity band. He was like " Whoa whoa whoa, huh?" He had never heard of 'stacking':twisted2:. Enjoy!!!
 
@Lykame I have no plans to change this ring or diamond anytime soon! It is exactly what I wanted. Now, I would love a 1.90ish diamond, but then I would feel very self conscious at work (I work with the public—in homes as a visiting therapist). I wouldn’t wear it to work. So that is off the table! 1.5 carats is what I think my max would be until retirement in 10 or 15 years. :lol-2: After that, all bets are off!

I love this setting and the fact that I can stack it. DH (and I!) love color, so maybe a ruby or emerald anniversary band is in my future? ;)2

Aside from this ring, I’ve been looking at some 0.40-0.50 studs on the website. :whistle: Just daydreaming for now. :shhh:


Hahaha I feel like you are me! I am looking at studs now too while I wait for my engagement ring... I think the bf is not pleased but then I feel like I trade them in towards a bigger engagement rings stone at a later date! Plus I am paying for them so pffffff :lol:
 
Still loving this ring! I took some pictures over the holiday weekend and thought I’d share!

These pictures don’t do the diamond justice—under the dappled shade of these enormous trees—wow!

I scored an “out there” 1950’s ring wrap on Ruby Lane last weekend... I want to get a colored stone solitaire to wear with it (or two or three!), but here it is pictured with my CBI. :kiss2: I won’t wear it like this often at all due to the wear it would inflict on the HPD setting.... but boy oh boy is it ever a “look!” :lol-2:
 
Went for a run yesterday before my daughter’s softball game...

First pics are full sun at 11:00am. My fingertips are pointing at the sun.

This was my shirt I was wearing— and a rose gold phone reflecting. I have a neon turquoise race shirt from this race (different year). I LOVE how the CBI looks when I wear neon! :)

Not to be outdone, the original oval was glowing, too. :) 1.01 F SI1.

Later in the day, overcast, no shade. WHITE!

I absolutely love how the wrap looks :lickout: it’s such a unique look. Which wedding band do you wear the most with your solitaire?

@arhzay I have actually been wearing it alone on my right hand a lot. I can see the setting better without having it stacked. =)2 But when it’s on my left hand, I wear it with my bead set diamond band most of the time.
 
That’s a classic combination which always looks good :appl: I’ve read quite a few of your threads but cannot recall if you have mentioned upgrading again or is this it?

I do plan to upgrade again! Just no real timeline right now. I’d like to get 1.4-1.5ish in the next couple of years. :)
 
Beautiful stone and setting! Congratulations!!!

I love my fellow 1.2 CBI though!! I think the DSS hasn’t sinked in yet hehehe
 
Straight to the Easter Bunny via the Polar Vortex... my latest anniversary upgrade has arrived! Back in late January, a “future” CBI popped up on the website and I jumped on it.

First, some pics that show off this gorgeous setting. I waffled back and forth on how to set the CBI, and I’m so happy I went this route. I will be including a ton of shots of the diamond over the week as I get some sunshine and become acquainted with my new BFF. :lol:

Gorgeous!!


You will see a few different stacking options!
