Because I lack the eloquence of speech at this moment.

This...THIS..damn..This is what I call a take me to church, clutch my pearls, pour me a double, chuck it in the fuc* it bucket, I WIN MOMENT right here. That setting is nothing short of Sotheby's and museum quality. I can joke all the way to texas and back but the bottom line is in my search for the grail that stone in that setting tops the charts as one of the most stunning things I've ever seen. Beautiful..simply beautiful.

Omg I did not think I could love this more and then I saw it moving. This is THE stone.

WOW WOW WOW.

Please teach us your stone finding ways!!!!

 

[lulu_ma]

Holy mother Mary!! What a stunning ring!! Marilyn is an absolute stunner just like her eponym and I also love the setting, it’s so unique. Simply gorgeous!

Thanks so much @AllAboardTheBlingTrain-I appreciate your kind words. I know you are an old cut lover like me!

Wow! That diamond is truly magnificent. It's huuuuge but looks perfect on you! Congratulations!

@CBianco Thank you. The benefit of having a size 6.5 finger

I love the diamond but I ADORE the setting, omfg!!!!!! More pics of the setting please!

Thanks @diamondyes ! Here are more setting pics for you. As you can see, the setting is high! I'm sort of getting used to it but I'm left handed and not all that graceful

Thank you @blingmeupscotty-you always crack me up

Beautiful!!!

@CircularBrilliant thank you!

I’ve been checking the SMTB thread for this post!! It’s a once in a life time find kind of a situation and stone! MM is GORGEOUS and I’m so happy for you to have found your HG!

ETA: you are so lucky that your DH enjoyed the hunt and loves the stone! What a fun adventure and memories you two must have gained from all the treasure hunts!

@Muluver Thank you-there were so many moving parts to make this happen. I just feel so lucky to be the caretaker of this stone! And DH is loving all the props

 

[sweetpea&babycorn]

I am speechless, just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I can’t wait to see her final dress!

@lulu_ma, this ring is fabulous!! Absolutely amazing diamond, I'm in awe! Congrats on this 7.6 carat beauty, it's a ring of a lifetime!

 

[MMtwo]

I showed hubby last night, who also enjoys old cut diamonds. Predictably, he had the same reaction of most of Pricescope, “Oh my God”. Seriously, I think he was alarmed I would ask for one in the same breath. .

I came back to say you are so fortunate to have this queenly ring in your care. What a precious gift to enjoy. Also, this is the whitest, best cut M I have ever seen. I came back for specs, just amazing!. Thanks again for sharing. Sincerely enjoying the motion pictures on Insta.

Marilyn in the morning (before, during and after school drop off). It's been overcast the last couple of days-this is when she shows the most tint. She's a chameleon for sure.

*note my glam fleece

 

[lulu_ma]

I missed this whole thing. How did I miss this whole thing?
Marilyn is crisp and bright!! Congratulations!!
I really like the current setting, too, it’s fitting for a stone with such big personality

Thanks so much @yssie I'm so glad you like her. And you missed nothing-I didn't post anything about her until I had her in my hands-didn't want to jinx it.

I do love the setting. If it was 2 mm shorter, it would be perfect...

Ermagerd. Y’all in this community have some stunning taste and an immense scouring for the jewels talent.

@mjea All I can say is that I have learned from the best

What a gorgeous diamond!
You wear it beautifully

Thank you @Rfisher ! I will definitely need your help designing a forever dress for her.

Josie is going to Grace. I will miss that setting so much! Eventually, I would love to do a Deco setting beyond simple baguettes for Marilyn, but I can't figure out a good one for her profile.

 

[lulu_ma]

WOW!! What a diamond! She's glorious!

Congratulations on an amazing find - she's the diamond of a lifetime.

@Mrs B thank you for your kind words-you know I adore your taste. And, you said it perfectly-Marilyn does feel like the diamond of a lifetime. I still feel like I'm in a dream state!

Literally amazing! I have no other words...

Thanks so much @Ariadne_Theia !

I am in awe of her beauty. Marilyn is magnificent!!!

@Diamond Girl 21 thank you! I'm in awe of her, too. She's like a siren-so the name fits

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Wow, now THAT is a dream ring. I also love all those little prongs, the setting is a work of art in itself.
