emily, i just l

ve your new ring!

no doubt you made the right choice! so sleek and timeless... and as others have said, it looks waaay bigger then .56!

congrats!

 

[liz-e]

Wow, that is an I? I thought it was an E or thereabouts LOL (I''m a total newbie at this too!)

It looks stunningly white.

I just purchased an ACA diamond ... isn''t it the most amazing cut ever????

Mine is set in a pendant and I''m constantly trying to find places to see it''s reflection LOL

I don''t think I''d get any work done if I could stare at your ring all day long

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on your engagement!

Thank you for posting the details!

 

[emilye900]

Yup, it''s an I. I originally wanted to go no lower than H, but like I said, we knew we had to stick to our budget. After Sheerah at Whiteflash assured me that she felt very confident about their I colored stones, we decided to go for it. It truly works for me.. personally I rarely see the warmth in it

Oh man. It sure is an amazing cut. I can''t imagine ever buying anything else now :X

Ooh, a pendant is actually the next thing on my wish list! Have you posted pics of your necklace? I''d love to see it!!! I bet it''s gorgeous.

 

[partgypsy]

Wow that is one beautiful ring. I think that could be one of my favorite settings I''ve seen here. It''s like the diamond is floating over the rest of the ring.

 

[liz-e]

It *is* my favourite ring on here!!!

Sophisticated and timeless.

Maybe I should think about doing some work lol

 

[AprilBaby]

The new ring looks so much BIGGER than the old ring, and so timeless. It is the prettiest bezel setting I have ever seen.

I love you silhouette in the dark photo. Maybe you should do jewelry photography?

 

[mrsv]

Wow, that is a great ring!

 

[emilye900]

Thank you IloveAsschers13, chickpea, & mrsv!! You girls are all awesome.

part gypsy - I think of it as floating above too.. and that idea seemed so interesting and nature-like to me. I dunno, I just loved the idea of the top looking like a traditional bezel setting but the side view having it's own unique flair Thanks!!

AprilBaby - Thank you!! It's funny you'd say that cause I've actually been getting into photography a bit the past few years and have found that jewelry definitely makes for a beautiful and exciting subject!!

 

[coatimundi_org]

Just had to take another look at your beauty! I''ve got bezel fever!
Love your ring!

 

[emilye900]

Awww, well you certainly have the best bezel fix resting beautifully on your finger!

 

[akmiss]

I likey

The bezel setting is amazing. WF did an excellent job!
I have a .60 ACA and I absolutely love it. My FI and I were looking at leo''s before we discovered PS and WF

Congratulations and enjoy that beauty!

 

[emilye900]

Borrowed some of my mom''s bands to play around with...

 

[emilye900]

& another...

 

[liz-e]

NICE!!!!!!!!!

Would I be correct in saying that any band would sit flush with that design??

LOL I have a feeling WF will have some more orders for this style of ring...

I am in love with it too lol

 

[bluebell]

wow your ring is amazing!!!!! It looks so big for its size. What is your ring size if you don''t mind me asking.

 

[PrincessDijon]

Gorgeous ring! Congrats it looks fab!

 

[Snooper]

Great setting! Love how it sits low, enjoy!

 

[LostieLovesBling]

Bezels are the bomb! Love

 

[snlee]

It''s beautiful! I love it!

 

[emilye900]

Thanks akmiss, PrincessDijon, Snooper, LostieLovesBling, and snlee!! You guys are AWESOME

liz-e - I would assume that most bands would sit flush with it which will make it both easier and then MUCH harder to decide on one band.

bluebell - Thank you!! My ring size is 6.

 

[2Artists]

Thank you for the follow up. I always love hearing about a happy ending to a ring story! That side shot is really cool. I also really love the shot with that red band it looks so great with that! Congrats!

Last one for now! A funny comparison between my .63ct Leo and my .56ct ACA.. the Leo looks so dull and lifeless to me! & they appear to be the same size.. crazyness.

I showed this picture to my BF, to illustrate the difference between an ACA and the mall type stone. He totally thought the ACA was bigger and had more character.

WF did an excellent job on your bezel, btw. It looks lovely on your hand!!

 

[purrfectpear]

Emilye, I''m so glad I caught this thread. I just wanted to chime in with the others and agree that your ring is shear Purrfection

Very, very chic. I suspect there will be more PS''rs who will want one like it

 

[Kelli]

Wow! Simple and perfect! I LOVE it! I didn''t realize you could get a band to sit so nicely with a bezel. Good to know

It''s funny I had a deposit on a leo diamond too. Soooooo glad I changed my mind!

 

[Itgirl76]

I have a bezel as well!!! I love them, your ring is beautiful

 

[emilye900]

2Artists, mrsv, purrfectpear.. you girls rock! Thanks for your kind words and for checking out my thread

omieluv - Isn''t it crazy how big a difference a well cut stone can make? I could not believe it until my ACA arrived! Thank you!

Kelli - Yes, I really wanted to make sure WF would design it so that most bands would sit flush. They did a great job!! So glad you changed your mind about the Leo, too.

Itgirl76 - Thanks! Your bezel is GORGEOUS. I''ve never seen a pear bezel before and it''s definitely something to add to the wishlist, teehee.

 

[BKmommy]

Your ring is beautiful. I love bezels, and I love the simplicity of it... that setting really stands back and says "Yoo hoo, look at the diamond!" May I ask the width of the shank? Also, did you ask for a particular width, and/or did WF specify they''d only do it at a certain width? Sorry so nosy.
