My New Sparkly

[Aurora Borealis]

My .95 ct EGL I/J SI2 solitaire has moved into its new penthouse suite. Here's the original ring, a plain 18k WG shank:

The stone was reset into a custom 19k WG ring with two .10 ct RB accents and ten .02 ct melee, pave-set in a semi-eternity style. Here it is:

It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I love the stone in that setting. Class all the way, not to mention sparkle.

Enjoy!

 

[Aurora Borealis]

Thank you!

I just read eferna''s thread, and aside from my diamonds being smaller, our rings are strangely similar!

 

[ForteKitty]

That is a beautiful ring! I love the way it looks from the side!

Your ring is beautiful! I have chosen a very similar design, so it must be true that great minds think alike.

As you can se there are some variations. I love how they raised the side a little higher. Who did it?
I is atonishing and I am so jealous since I am having mine appraised so still has to do some traveling before I can hold it.
Again stunning!

Enjoy

Quite stunning. What a difference a new band can make. Although I think it was beautiful before, it is gorgeous now.

 

[goldengirl]

Wow, what a stunning ring....aurora, how wide is your band?

 

[sevens one]

That''s lovely.

 

[Aurora Borealis]

Hmm, I haven''t measured it and I wasn''t given the numbers...but if I had to guess, I would say 2 or 2.5 mm.

 

[MelissaSue]

Wow. what a great setting. Its so beautiful!

 

[sxn675]

That is beautiful!

 

[Jennifer5973]

Wow--it was beautiful before but now it is just regal!

Congrats!

 

[fortheloveofdiamonds]

Beautiful ring. I like how you refer to it as the "penthouse suite" it is that indeed!! Congrats!

 

[qtiekiki]

I love the new setting. It makes the ring looks more delicate and feminine than the old setting, plus there''s all that extra bling bling.

 

[abbott]

Wow!!! How long did you have the original ring before you changed the setting. It is beautiful !! Abbott

 

[allycat0303]

Gorgeous! I love the new setting.

 

[goldengirl]

Well, it''s just stunning!

Will you be able to wear your wedding band flush or near-flush? Sorry to pester you with all the questions,

but I just

your setting and am considering something similar for myself. It looked so amazing on your hand, now it''s DEFINITELY a contender!!

 

[Blue824]

Wow...your ring is beautiful!

 

[Patty]

Wow! While I think the solitaire was beautiful, this is just even more beautiful! I also have a .95, I color (mine is an I1). I had mine put in my wide wedding ring and I love it there but sometimes I wish it were more noticeable like yours. But I digress...Your new ring is beautiful!

 

[Aurora Borealis]

Thanks everyone for all the compliments! I didn''t have it in a solitaire for too long (maybe about three months?). My boyfriend had originally wanted a three stone ring, but I didn''t like the anniversary look. I found this ring to be a beautiful compromise as the sides just subtlely accent the center.

Goldgirl, I stressed to the jeweller that I wanted a wedding band to sit flush with the ring. I believe it will work fine as long as I wear a matching pave band. I tried on a plain band, which also works, but I think it looks a little funny. First of all, the pave shank is thicker than a plain band, so it sticks out on the sides more. Plus, it looks a little unbalanced with all the bling in one ring and nothing in the other. I love talking about my ring so please post more questions if you need to ask!

 

[Libster]

Love your ring and setting!!!! Enjoy!!

 

[Rockchick]

THAT is a beautiful setting!!

Absolutely stunning!

 

[gingerBcookie]

i absolutely love

love

love
