Just lovely! Look at that sparkle!

 

[whatmeworry]

Gorgeous. Can you share where you got it from? Was it a set piece or did you search for all the diamonds individually?

 

[strmrdr]

congrates!

 

[aljdewey]

Beautiful! congratulations!

 

[dbgaap]

And the setting- where did you get the setting? It is stupendous!
What finger size?

Tell All!!

I can picture that ring on ME!

 

[SamFisher]

Yay! Thanks for the great feedback... I am glad it looks like I got it right!

Curlygirl, yes it is going to be a surprise... but I don''t have my plan worked out yet. I''ve been cruising the ideas forum and poking around a little bit in my own brain to come up with something that is unique and will be original to us And the pictures do not do the colors that fly off this ring justice... it''s a sunny day here, and I almost can''t look at it in sunlight because it is so bright!

whatmeworry, after hours upon hours of searching PS and every conceivable online vendor, I finally decided to get these stones from BN. The price for the all of the stones was pretty much even to anything I could find comparable of the same 4 c''s (i tried my best to compare apples to apples in most cases)... and the side stones sold me on the three stone setting as well. Also, these stones had the best HCA scores of the 15 or so I was considering as I narrowed down my list. Everything with BN was smooth, and the ring was delivered on time. I will say in dealing with some other online vendors on stone inquiries that everyone I dealt with was very helpful, professional, and good to work with (WF, GOG, JA, Abazias).

[SamFisher]

dbgaap, the setting also came from BN, and the size of the ring is a 6.5!
