My new rings!

[Jenn5504]

Well, I''ve been lurking on this site for years----since I got my original e-ring and band back in March ''02! My original ring was a 1.52ct. princess on a platinum band with very small princess side stones (.25 ctw) with a bar set .50 ctw 7 stone princess band. I always received many many compliments on my rings, but I was honestly never happy with the diamond---it was a very poor cut H SI2 EGL that MIGHT have been a J I1 on a good day.... ANYHOW, on a recent jeweler inspection a chip was found on the girdle. I hadn''t noticed it but once they pointed it out I was like "OH MY GOSH!". It was pretty bad........well, much to my relief it was covered by insurance (DH calls me a "Bull in a China Cabinet" and has always made sure my jewelry was covered...). So, a couple of weeks ago I handed over my engagement ring and received a check to go start over. I had always longed for a classic round solitaire with an eternity band.......I went straight to this board to view all of your gorgeous rings and quickly knew that a round solitaire with eternity band WAS exactly what I wanted. Here''s what I got! (geez I wish I had a pic of the old rings to show you WHAT an improvement, and huge difference, these are. Take my word for it, I am on CLOUD NINE with these new rings!). I just wanted to share and let you all know how grateful I am that I had such a great place to go to for information on picking a nice diamond!

Last one. I really wish I was a better photographer, these pics just don''t do them justice. I see yellow in the pics but NONE in real life! Oh well....

[mrssalvo]

[FireGoddess]

Beautiful! That rock is gorgeous! (I wish I had such small fingers!)

 

[Jenn5504]

Thanks for the kind words on my rings.

I am just so grateful for the information on this site----without it I probably would have ended up with another dog of a diamond like my old one. Now if I could just figure out how to snap some GOOD pictures of these beauties................

Jen,

What size is your finger? I absolutley love this set!! Bravo!

 

[Jenn5504]

Awwww, thank you for the sweet compliment Iwannaprettyone!!! My finger size is 4.5. The ering is a 4.5 (but spins some because of being a bit top-heavy) and the eternity band is a 5 because I wanted some room in case my fingers get a bit bigger through the years.......
