Intoducing my diamond in its new home!

[gemgirl]

It''s got a very sexy front to back profile. It looks a lot like a Verragio. I think it''s lovely and fluid and quite elegant.

What band are you going to wear with it?

 

[geckodani]

Gemgirl - I''m not going to wear a band with it. It stands alone just fine, and has the 2 bands worked into the design.

 

[LuckyTexan]

Very unique! Gorgeous!

 

[Bliss]

WOW! Dani, that setting is spectacular! It flows so beautifully like something I've seen in nature.

The diamond is very special... gorgeous!!!!!!!! Woweeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a D!!!!! It is so icy white! It's a glacier! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

 

[omieluv]

Yay, I am so happy your ring is complete and I bet you are over the moon with excitement!

The setting has an organic/earthy feel about it, making it unique and beautiful at the same time.

Have you shown your mom??

 

[geckodani]

Texan - Thanks!

DH is preening now. I showed him your comment, LOL (he''s really proud of my diamond, as he should be). Thank you Bliss - you made us smile.

Omie- Thanks! I really like the flowy lines. I haven''t shown my mom yes, since she''s an hour away. Hopefully I''ll be able to get down there next weekend!

 

[Elegant]

Wow, how pretty - and it looks so nice on your finger...congrats!

You are welcome. Did not know your mom lived an hour away, I am sure she will be excited to see it when the two of you finally can connect (that would be a great time to introduce her to the Internet + PriceScope).

LOL. I''m still working on it.

Yeah, so I just realized that I misspelled introducing in the title to this thread. I was too excited, evidently.

Hopefully they''ll be able to size it quickly for me so I can have it next weekend!

Dani, it''s GOOOOOOORGEOUSSSSSSS!!!

Your jeweler did a fantastic job! And I agree . . . it doesn''t need a band. I think wearing a band with it might take away from the "two band" look built into the ring. Fabulous!!!

Kelli - I was looking around for something fun to use as a prop and went - Aha! Amethyst! LOL

LS -

None of my friends are jewelry people. Their loss!!! The husband loves it and thinks it''s awesome though!

Icekid - Thanks! I love the split shank & 2 band look. I like that the 2 bands are combined into one- kind of like marriage, LOL.

Their loss, OUR gain!

Thanks for sharing.

LS

Thanks Emm! And I agree. I tried it on with my old band and didn''t like it. I''m in loooooove.....

LOL LS.

Tuckins - Thanks!

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

So very beautiful!!!!

 

[Beaglemom]

Your ring turned out fantastic!

 

[MMT]

Very pretty ring and great job with the pictures. Enjoy your new ring.

 

[Dandi]

Oooohhh I''ve been looking so forward to this thread popping up!!

It''s gorgeous geckodani, what a fabulous way to showcase your diamond! I LOVE it!!!

 

[geckodani]

LuckyTexan, Lisa RN, beaglemom & Elegant - Thank you!

MMT - Thanks for the compliment on the pictures. It''s harder then I expected!

DandiAndi- Thanks! I swear the setting makes my diamond look bigger. Even the ladies at the store were joking that no, they had not given me an upgrade, LOL.

 

[diamondsrock]

Very pretty. Simple but elegant. I agree it makes your diamond look large.
Nice diamond too, by the way! Looks super sparkly!

Thanks! Yeah, my diamond sparkles like MAD all the time.

The hubby did a good job with that one, LOL.

 

[AdiS]

Dani your ring is simply amazing! The setting is so pretty and unique. I love it! Congrats and enjoy it!

 

[K9]

dani - it''s absolutely fabulous! I''m so glad it turned out how you had hoped!!!

 

[Isabelle]

Very beautiful! The diamond looks so white as well!!

 

[geckodani]

AdiS - Thanks! Unique is what I was going for.

K9 - It turned out better then I imagined. Yay! You guys are getting me even more excited about it!

Thanks Isabelle. DH is so proud of that diamond, LOL.

 

[Anastasia]

Dani - That is just gorgeous! I love how fluid it is.

I think you have made the right decision in wearing it alone. I think a band would take away from the beautiful design.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Chiming in rather late, but what a great ring! Beautiful diamond and wonderful design.

 

[marcy]

Ooh, very pretty!

 

[geckodani]

Thanks Anastacia! Yeah, the design stands on its own.

Lady_Disdain and Marcy - Thanks!!

 

[geckodani]

Thanks SDL - I actually noticed today that it was kicking off sparkles from all directions. I usually get reflected light off the top, but now it''s coming from all sides. It''s really fun, LOL.

 

[katebar]

Very elegant and good job with the photo shoot!!
