I have been recovering from surgery and then being sick, so this is a bit delayed. I want to show off my new ACA! It is 2.1ct, E, VS1 and she is gorgeous. My sweet SA, Michelle, graciously compared numerous diamonds for me while I fretted over making the “perfect for me” choice. After making my decision and settling into the waiting, I continued to check Whiteflash EVERY DAY. When this popped up, I barely even hesitated. Sweet spot for color and clarity. I switched, once again, while assuring Michelle this was my last time. She never once let it slip that I was acting like a crazy woman! I chose the Petite Valoria 6-prong in platinum for a temporary setting. I’m so happy with the setting, that I’m in no rush to change it. F40EE661-16B2-4785-913A-5F1CF18701A0.jpeg

Ooh, it is here! Just elegance simplified and stunning! I bet it pairs beautifully with your new tennis bracelet. Beautiful choice - you can always share many more pics for us and you are welcome to add your bracelet to the next batch - lol! Very happy for you!

Sorry about the surgery and illness - hope you are on the mend now!
 
Congratulations! More pics if you fell up to it :)
 
Absolutely gorgeous!! I love the setting and the way it looks with a plain band. And what a pretty hand you have too!
 
Congratulations on your gorgeous new ring! It looks perfect on your hand. Hope you are feeling better.❤
 
Absolutely fabulous - congratulations, MamaBear!

I will add more pics…I’m still on crutches so getting anything done is a CHORE! I can’t wait to feel up to wearing more of my jewelry. It’s all going to feel brand new, I suppose! Thank you for the well wishes!
 
Congratulations! More pics if you fell up to it :)

Thank you! I will work on those…it’s fun to share my excitement!

Absolutely gorgeous!! I love the setting and the way it looks with a plain band. And what a pretty hand you have too!

What a nice compliment, thank you!! I love the setting, too!

Congratulations on your gorgeous new ring! It looks perfect on your hand. Hope you are feeling better.❤

Thank you @Diamond Girl 21. I am getting there!

Absolutely fabulous - congratulations, MamaBear!

Thank you, @DejaWiz!!
 
It's so beautiful @MamaBear! I hope that your recovery is a swift one!
 
Get well soon @MamaBear ! Congratulations on your stunning new beauty!
 
It’s just so lovely on you! I love the setting too!! Absolutely beautiful. Get well soon and enjoy that bling while you recuperate.
 
@MamaBear Your icy ACA is stunning! It looks so perfect in the setting....I did the same thing…buying the Petite Valoria setting as a temporary one before upgrading. In fact I did it twice with two different size Valoria settings..I just love the profile. Beautiful!
I had to come back to edit because I was so mesmerized by your gorgeous diamond I forgot to wish you well! I hope you feel better soon!

I love this size diamond - it's so substantial yet elegant. It looks perfect on you! I also love its match with your wedding ring - and, of course, who could not love those stats?!!

Congratulations! And get well soon!! (That beauty on your finger has gotta help tho....).

@MamaBee, I read so many reviews for the setting and of course yours. It was so very helpful in making my decision to choose. Thank you!

Oh, @RunningwithScissors, elegant is what I was going for! Thank you. She brings a smile to my face when I look at her!

That is glorious!! Looks so beautiful on your hand :kiss2:

Thank you, @Eli22!! Your new ring is fabulous!

@mrs-b, thank you for the kind words! I was looking for understated elegance and I am thrilled to have achieved that! This size is comfortably wearable, which is so important to me, as well!
 
Congratulations on your gorgeous ACA! This is an absolutely beautiful diamond! An E VS1 - that'll knock your socks off everyday :kiss2: I'd love to see a profile of how your Valoria fits with your band. Is this the matching band? I love the combination - elegance and fabulous size!:kiss2:

"Comfortably wearable" - exactly. Exactly.
 
It's beautiful, congratulations and feel better soon!
 
What a stunner! It looks perfect on your hand. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

It’s not the matching band…but it does work well! Here’s a closer shot. It needs to be polished…. The wedding band is 4.25 and the erring is 4.5, I think when I take it in to be polished, I’ll size up a bit as it feels a smidge tight.

Wow! Beautiful diamond and classic setting…what’s not to like? I hope you continue to feel better and recover from your surgery.
 
Beautiful @MamaBear !

At least you have something beautiful to stare at during those days of being sick and recovering (not fun I'm sure). Hope you are feeling
better!
