My new ring!

[madison]

Yeah, got engaged one month ago. I am floored by how my ring looks!

 

[icelady]

GOOD GRIEF!!!!! That is stunning!

I LOVE radiants. Would you mind sharing the particulars of your diamond with me?

I would be floored also!!

 

[KittyTiger]

ooooh my goooodness! That is huge! It's just like one huge piece of diamond. All I see is diamond! What size is your finger?

 

[madison]

Hi Ice Lady, and Leota,

My center stone radiant is 3.10 carats VS1 F color. Trapezoids are .48 each.

Funny you should ask about my ring size... which is a 5 1/2, but my fingers are wide, so it does take up the width of my finger

 

[icelady]

Madison,

I cannot get over the size, it is just gorgeous. I love the square cut and the trapezoids are to die for.

I agree with Leota, it does look like one huge piece of diamond!!

Madison,

They need a little icon with the eyes popping out of the head...that was pretty much my reaction to this stunning block of ice! Amazing! Did you help pick it out? If not, your fiancee has a very discriminating eye!

I am sure you have mastered the ring display by now (arm outstretched, wrist snapped, fingers splayed) - but with a rock like that on your finger, it must get exhausting!

Congratulations! What a stunning ring!

I would looooveee to see it on your finger!

I had some input on the stone, I always wanted a radiant, and they were always shown with trillions, which I find dig in your fingers. Then I saw one at Harry Winston with trapezoids and knew that was what I wanted.

He got the stones seperately and had the setting custom made in platinum. I was expecting the shape of the ring, but I had no idea on size it would be. Needless to say, I loved it.

I have also found that I do not need to really display it. The ring is so brilliant, and throws off the most amazing sparkle, that people will just notice without me having to deliberately show it off.

There is another photo of the ring on my finger, but it's not a great picture. It's on another post titled another picture.

 

[caratgirl]

Wow, what a ROCK! That style and size would look perfect on me...ohno ring envy strikes again.

 

[hoorray]

That is a beautiful ring, and it looks terrific on your hand! Best wishes on being engaged and sporting a phenomenal rock!

 

[Jennifer5973]

Fabulous. I love radiants.

 

[goldenringlets]

Beautiful and elegant. Do the trapezoids extend the full length of the side until the "corner"? Go, on, tell us, what are the reactions of your friends, family and colleague?

 

[fire&ice]

Stunning! There was a poster putting together a ring like this in the past year - was your to be a poster here?

 

[madison]

Yup, the trapezoids do extend to the width of my finger.
As to the reaction I get...
When people hear I just got engaged, the first thing they usually say is, "let me see the ring". Before they finish asking, I'll casually

lift my hand, and the reaction is usally "Oh My God"

I teach a group fitness class in various gyms, and I usually walk around the room and talk a lot with my hands as I explain. A lot of my students come to me at the end of the class letting me know that my ring is distracting them, and that they just are following the light flashing off from my ring.

I love my ring, but I never expected the attention it gets.

 

[Kamuelamom]

Madison, congratulations on your recent engagement and your absolutely stunning ring.

F&I, I thought the same thing and it drove me nuts until I figured out who it was. His name was AlmostThere and the ring turned out absolutely drop dead gorgeous! His ring was made by Whiteflash.

Madison, are you the lucky gal? Would love if you could post some side views of this beauty. If you are *the one* we saw this beauty in the making.

Here it is.

 

[Colored Gemstone Nut]

[Giangi]

Holy cow!

That's a serious rock! Congrats... It's really beautiful!

 

[madison]
