I've always wanted 2+ct, and after 16 years later, thanks to lab grown diamond, my dream came true.
This is 2.39ct E VS2 GIA stone from Frank Darling.
I have to say I highly recommend Frank Darling. Their services are truly great with videos I requested.
Ring are very well made. I modified the ring they had. CAD, resin, and send for approval were smoothly done.

And most of all, thanks to @DejaWiz and @Kim N, I was able to find my dream stone and learn so much from you guys.

Look at that beauty! It’s gorgeous!!:kiss2::kiss2:
 
Wow it’s so icy and gorgeous!
 
Stunning... absolutely stunning
 
Huge “size wise” upgrade from my 1.74 H VS1 Blue Nile Signature collection. Next to 2.39, 1.74 became so small
Love both of them so much!

What a gorgeous upgrade! Such a nice size increase and I have to say I like the crown angle (I think that’s why it’s called) more on your new stone. What size is your finger?
 
Well, that is just bling-a-licious! What an upgrade, and it looks perfect with your 5 stone. <3

Thank you! Both crown angels are 35. I guess bigger size are showing more characters.
my ring size is 4.25 =)2

Oh thank you! 5 stone was originally overkill for 1.74ct, but now it found the perfect match:dance:
 
:love: You've got yourself a handful of fabulous ring!
 
Oh wow, it turned out incredibly beautiful! :love: The setting so perfectly showcases the gorgeous diamond, and Frank Darling did a great job with the prongs and prong tips. I love both of your rings!
 
Congratulations! Lovely solitaire set.
 
It is beautiful!! The diamond is stunning and I really like your new setting!
 
Gorgeous upgrade!! Congratulations!! :kiss2:
Is that a setting from their website? =)2
I love the thickness of your ring. What is the mm size and what modifications did you make? Just gorgeous!
I used FD as well and had a great experience too!!

Agree with Kim here. Something about the proportions and aesthetics of prong tips on new ring blows your old one out of the water. This was the first thing i noticed in side-by-side comparison. Prongs on OG ring are…functional. Prongs on new ring are part of the very artful design. Perfection.
Congrats on your new bling!!!
 
Really gorgeous!! It looks so amazing on you too!!
 
Beautiful, congratulations! It’s a gorgeous stone and looks beautiful on you. I love the tulip style as well!
 
Gorgeous stone and setting! Classic eternal style. Love this!
 
Wow! What a beautiful stone and setting. Congrats!!
 
Such wonderful ring! /set!
 
THIS IS GORGEOUS

What a stunner!! How will you ever get work done with that on your hand?!

Yes, it is setting from their website. Royale solitaire but I made petal wider. Ring is 2.2mm. I love your ring too! FD does make beautiful ring!

I actually didn’t like my original ring’s setting that much, but I did’t want to spend another $$ to change the setting. It took me a while to get used to that setting. Blue Nile’s setting is just ok, but the stone is beautiful.
