It''s Finally Here! Gelin Abaci TR-195

[PlayaMan]

Hey, let me just start off by thanking everyone here. I've been cruising the forums for the past few months and it has been very helpful and informative in my ring buying experience.
I've decided on getting a tension ring for their unique setting and decided on the Gelin Abaci TR-195. My girlfriend wants a simple, clean ring with a few side stones and I think this would be perfect. The stock finish for this design is a satin finish but I've decided to go with a polished finish.

Tension setting pics are not common on Pricescope so I'm glad to be sharing mine with you.

The diamond is:
1.126 carat
clarity SI1
color H
cut AGS Ideal 0
HCA: 1.2

[jstarfireb]

Really beautiful! I love the stones in the band.

 

[shortee78]

Very pretty!

 

[PlayaMan]

librarychickie: Oh yes I love your satin finish ring too! The contrast brings out the diamond's sparkles.
Tension settings are pricey, but for it's uniqueness it's worth it to me.

Here's some more views. The ring is a little dark from reflecting off my dark kitchen.

One last pic before I propose. She is coming to visit this weekend and we''re going to San Diego Zoo on Sunday, Monday we''ll hang out at the beach in LA and I''ll propose on the pier. Will keep you posted and hopefully provide some hand shots!

As for the wedding band, I have no clue on it yet. We''ll decide together.

 

[Beaglemom]

Fabulous!

 

[MissGotRocks]

That ring is really beautiful! It is contemporary but still graceful and feminine. I love the diamond accents on the band.

Congrats on such a fine job!
