My 10th anni ring :)

[weegem]

Hello!!

When my husband and I married in '98 we didn't have 2 pennies to rub together, so we exchanged very cheap bands. In 2007, I (and he!!) figured we could now afford a really ncie ring, so I went to Whiteflash and I found a beautiful 1.41 F VS1 EC. I had it set in a 3 stone with trillian sides (size 6), and was thrilled with the result. A year later, I somehow bent the heck out of the shank so I went to a jeweler to see if it could be fixed. Well, I ended up getting the whole ring re-made......had the EC set into a 18kt yg and 18kt wg solitaire setting, and the trillions made into charms for wee hoop earrings. I was even mroe happy because the solitaire setting really allowed the EC to 'shine'. All kinds of sparkles and flashes.

The jeweler is Broughton-Stuart in Dunkeld in Scotland - Dunkeld is a lovely small village just over an hour away from me but the drive is lovely so I don't mind it, and the jeweler does really amazing work.

Anyway!!! On to the pics! (taken when the sun was out for about 30 min yesterday so the shots are a bit hurried and maybe not so good) Really the diamond is more amazing than the pics show....I had to be quick!

I love your ring! It''s beautiful!

 

[Kelli]

Exquisite! Can we see the earring drops too?

 

[Stone Hunter]

Very beautiful. Is that diamond totally enclosed in the setting -- no light coming from the bottom at all? Very unusual.

I second the request for earring charm shots!!!

Hey WeeGem, how''s it gaun?

Love your ring, excellent choice, particularly the east-west setting.......what I''m aiming for in the next few years

. Myself and Mrs Mitchell are fellow Scots and EC/Asscher lovers too.

I''ve attached a pic of your ring here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/emerald-cuts-asschers-a-collection.113993/ I hope you don''t mind and removed your recycle and composte bin from the backdrop, lol.

Oh, and I had a wee look at your jewellers website, I''m familiar with their work, really nice.

Hello!! Lol, thanks for removing the bins; I hadn''t realised until after they had made the shots - I was turning this way and that trying to get some good pics before it became overcast again

I just love Craig''s work! He and his wife are very friendly and I can spend ages in their shop. Me and my husband''s band are on the website too: http://www.broughton-stuartjewellery.co.uk/broughton-stuarc.html . His is 1st row, 2nd from the left, and mine is 2nd row, 1st left. I should take pics of those too lol!

Kelli and Stone Hunter - I''ll definitely take pics of the charms once I get my hoops - they are away being polished. Very nice wee drops!

And aye, Stone Hunter, the setting is completely enclosed. The jeweler sets most of his stones like that, albeit in heavier bezels. I requested a more ''delicate'' bezel, so I was very pleased with the result.

Thanks again everyone! I''m pleased you like the ring
