LoveDeco, it really is totally wearable! I inherited a somewhat "fancy" OMC from my mom, and while I love it to pieces, it''s not something I feel I can throw on just any old day. But I do with this one.

Linda, thanks. I wish I knew when my grandpa gave her this. I''d asked my mom, but I don''t know that I could believe her, if she could even give me a date.

Fly Girl, thank you!! And no, I''ve certainly never seen a ring like this. It shouldn''t be that hard to do, ya know?? And I promise to enjoy it!

tiffany, me too, thanks!

Miranda, lol @ obnoxious obsessions!!

And I''d be happy to take some pics for you with my WB, what angles would you like?

Yup. Like I would forget an square emerald recut. As if. It's well worth the wait! I did not know that Leon was involved, double yum!

ETA: The prongs are perfect. Just perfect!
 
Ellen,

Could you show the "before" picture to a jeweler? Maybe he would have an idea about the actual date of your ring.

I''m just teasing you. However, if ever we do meet I absolutely cannot
promise not to drool like an idiot (albeit discreetly) over your beautiful rings.

Any angles. I''m mostly interested to see how it sits with a band. Profile would probably do the trick, and straight on, and, and, and, and....OK, well, maybe I just want to see more pics!

lol! I already took some, I kinda figure out what you''d want, so I''ll post them in a sec!
 
Super super! Thank you Miss Ellen!!!!!!
 
My band is 3.5mm wide. It really doesn''t sit badly with it at all. There is the slightest gap, but in real life, not very noticeable. Widthwise I think it should be slimmer, but at least you get the picture.
25.gif
And the Leon would probably look better than it does if it wasn''t 1 1/4 sizes bigger. Thank God I''m right handed.

*sigh* someday i''d love one just like it...

congrats, it''s just SO lovely!!

I''m back for more..............can''t stop swooning over this masterpiece.

I just want to dive in, its just so gorgeous, the colour reminds me of the mediterraean sea on a scorching hot summers day.

*sign*
 
chickpea, thank you! I think everyone should have one of these.

po, thanks. It''s funny, someone on here told me before I cut it that I would lose some color, but it sure doesn''t seem to be lacking to me. In fact, I honestly think it looks better.
30.gif
 
Ellen,
I''m a little late to the party, but WOW! Wow! WOW! I am a little speechless about how beautiful your ring came out. The setting is just perfect as well. Again, WOW!
 
Hey Gail, better late than never! Thanks for stopping in, and for all those WOW''s!
