I shared this to the Christmas bling topic, but was asked to give this a dedicated post...
My husband and I met on Christmas, and later married on Christmas, so it’s an extra special time of year for us. When we married, it was a second go for both of us and we literally became the Brady Bunch over night as we had six between us (and custody of everyone). At the time, we chose to skip rings, buy a house, and find an “Alice”. Well, this year we celebrated our 7th anniversary and my sweet husband decided it was time to put a ring on it. Some of you may remember Carbonfan’s phenomenal ring from early last year...same ring, different specs.
My Christmas/anniversary/E-ring bling is below...a 2.074ct J VS1 Canera antique cushion in the vintage French cut halo setting and it’s perfection!
She blew my mind at night...
Thank you so much @carbonfan ! There is aaaaalways room for a bling sista!! Here are a couple of holiday photos I took of Victor’s artistry before we put the holiday decorations away this weekend. I am constantly surprised at how little “color” I see in it, generally speaking. I was really worried about it being graded J but I am so pleased with how white facing it is with just a hint of color from time to time...Just had to chime back in to say that this ring looks so stunning on you! I love the story you shared about your blended family as well! I am sure that was no easy task, but it sounds like you all handled it swimmingly! And I hope there is room for one more, as we are now bling sisters! Seriously, though, the proportions of the french cut halo are just perfection on your hand. Victor's work is truly incredible and I am thrilled that you get to celebrate your anniversary with such a gorgeous masterpiece! Congratulations again and please feel free to post many more photos!
Thank you @redwood66 ! I am constantly is awe of my sparkler and definitely have fallen victim to missing my floor on an elevator while staring at it and being honked at in traffic for snapping a pic at a red light lol.I just saw your avatar on another thread and had to pop in to say how lovely your ring is! Congratulations and well worth the wait. Victor's work is amazing.
Thanks @yennyfire ! I’m over the moon for my dh and this gorgeous ring! I caught killer photos of the colors this week and had to change my avatar ...Thanks @redwood66 for bringing this thread back to the top....I don’t know how I missed this stunning ring! Both the stone and the setting are perfection!!
Thanks! Any man who helps make a Brady Bunch has got to be a keeper, so yours must be a prince too!It's so beautiful and unique. We are also the Brady Bunch(I have 5, he has 1=3 girls, 3 boys) lol. Sounds like he's a keeper. Enjoy!
Thanks so much Austina!Wowsers, it was well worth the wait
