My new engagement ring

[ksluice]

My wonderful finance got me a ring beyond my dreams

, and then had a great time watching me acting very silly taking all the photos I know PSers really like. I had a hard time deciding on some of em, so i figured when-when in doubt-more is better. Hope no one minds

So, the vital info:

Tiffany''s Ornate Legacy, 1.35 center stone, H, VS1 with .75 ct melee

Center stone stats (from the Tiffany''s Cert, sorry no pavilion angle %
depth percentage 65.2%
table size percentage 60%
crown height percentage 12.5%
crown angle 32.4%
pavilion depth 49.2%
girdle slightly thick to thick

its gorgeous!

 

[beechezz]

Topodazzle,

congratulations on your engagement, and your ring is sooooo beautiful! Love it!

 

[ksluice]

Thank you all for the lovely comments and compliments!! .

That was exactly what I liked about the legacy as well--that the cut is sensible like the ascher but with something of the cushion. When we chose the ring I hadn''t come across GOG''s new chunky cushions, but they have something of that same quality, to be sure. In the moment of choosing, though, the challenge of finding a setting that would make us as happy as the stone just seemed too much--so we decided the T&Co premium was worth it in this sitch. I''m really glad you all like it too, though. I wonder if I''ll ever get tired of watching in sparkle? (LOL nah, I don''t figure i will

)

[tessa]

wonderful ring.
May you have many happy years with your soon to be husband!

 

[ckrickett]

I already told you how much I love your ring... its stunning.
Your pics are fantastic but weren''t you worrying your butt off having the ring on your puppies nose like that.
I would be so afraid he would confuse it for a treat!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Congratulations!
