My WhiteFlash Custom 3 Stone

[StixforLegs]

I just finished the long process of having an engagement ring custom made for my GF by Whiteflash. I bought all of the diamonds through them as well and all are ACA (lots of sparkles!). The center stone is a 0.753ct G SI1 (eye-clean) and the two side stones are 0.34ct each, H SI1. 14 melee diamonds down the shank 3/4 of the way in white gold. I got the idea from a 5 stone A. Jaffe setting and changed it to a three stone with melee diamonds. Bob at Whiteflash was very helpful and took his time to find just the right diamonds for my budget (im only 22 so i dont have much of a savings where I can afford the 2 and 3 carats that float around this website as if they were handing them out for free on a street corner!! Anyways, here is a pic of the wax model followed by the finished product, ill include details on the centerstone if anyone is interested. Ok ok, here it is!

I asked bob to send me a full side view too to fully appreciate it, but you get the idea from the wax model.

WOW, it looks terrific. I love it, yay for you. Great job

 

[Tacori E-ring]

The side view is great. Congratulations! It is beautiful!

 

[StixforLegs]

And here is the side view. I cant wait to see it in person!!

 

[mrssalvo]

oh WOW. it gogeous. You''ll have to add it to my Custom WF thread.

 

[StixforLegs]

Will do!

 

[MissAva]

StixforLegs- it is wonderful!!! I just love it, you did a great job. I cannot wait to see hand pics.

Wow, that is gorgeous! I love the side view and how the diamonds appear to be "floating."

You are just 22? I look at my daughter''s 22 year old male friends and trust me, not one of them could ever afford something so beautiful and tasteful as that ring!

That ring is gorgeous! Very fluid design on the 3 stone part - and very blingy. I'm almost a decade older than you - and there was no way I coulda sported a ring like that 10 years ago! Enjoy it!!!

 

[Mara]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH it looks GREAT!!! I love that side view. One of my pet peeves about 3 stones is that most of the settings out there cover the side view of the stones up and I want to see them floating around. It looks fabulous, can''t wait to see the hand shots!

I agree with Patty. Same here with my daughter''s friends.

You did a great job. Gorgeous ring.

 

[anchor31]

I love it. I want a three stone too and yours is amazing!!!

And don''t worry, my fiancé-to-be is 24 and there''s no way he could afford this ring. Your soon-to-be fiancée is very lucky!!

 

[mara54]

Your ring is just gorgeous, love the way the diamonds look suspended. The side diamonds adds such a nice touch. Good job, stix, and congratulations!!

 

[Jelly]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! What a beautiful ring! I was so excited when I read the title of this thread. I knew it would be fabulous! Congrats...don''t forget the handshots!

 

[princessv]

I love it!! And coming from another 22 year old (almost 23 in Feb. eep!

) I think you did awesome!! I really love the floating diamonds

and the diamonds around the band

!! My dream 3 stone if there was any!!

 

[glaucomflecken]

[AmberWaves]

[gingerBcookie]

How pretty!! LOve the floating diamonds look...breathtaking!

 

[AndyRosse]

Oh I love it! And I just adore the side view! Great job!

 

[lizz]

I think it is so romantic when men custom design an engagement ring. I love the ring. I think round diamonds look the best when mounted in a 3-stone ring.

 

[gailrmv]

It''s beautiful! I am sure she will love it!
