OMG it’s my OMC!!!! A 6.2 carat dream!

Absolutely gorgeous on your hand!!! Wow a million times over!
Curious how you wear it IRL - do you put it on when you’re leaving the house and take it off at home?
 
One word only.

Wait. Two more words needed.
Smelling salts!

Just lovely and you picked a perfect setting. I must say your photography skills are perfection!
 
Wow! My eyes fell out when I saw that beautiful diamond! It’s incredible! I wish you happiness when you wear that gorgeous ring!
 
Painfully beautiful. I also didn't vote for the split shank but it's still completely perfect and I think you made an excellent choice.

@Lykame @LLJsmom - I was so close to choosing the other setting. It turned out that they couldn’t source french cuts in the right color unless I wanted to use modern cut stones. I didn’t want to do that so my decision was made! I figure I can always choose to get her a new dress in the future if I ever change my mind. :lol:

HI:

HOLY. MOLY.:kiss2::kiss2:

cheers--Sharon
 
Hello friends! After three long months, I am excited to finally share my big mama OMC with everyone. :kiss2:

The stone is a 6.21 carat, early 1900s antique cushion. It’s graded GIA N/VS2 with slight fluorescence. There’s no way you’d ever guess it was an N! It faces up extremely bright, and it’s a chunky monkey with large facets and some wonky angles that catch rainbows like crazy! The stone measures 11.79x11.41 - from corner to corner it measures approx 12-12.31.

I have a bunch of pics and videos, so I’ll try to spread them out...

I’ll start with some pro pics by Anup and Lenny at Jogani, who I worked with to complete this amazing ring!


This makes me so happy, cruising through IG earlier and saw this, then catching up on PS, boom, there it is.

Beautiful!!!!! The setting is perfect.
 
Busy for a few days and come back to this eye candy - wowza! This is stunning - I adore the blocky rainbow color that is reflected in your outdoor photos. UGH - the best! I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE the color of this diamond so much. The setting is perfection - I think you made a great choice - she is the star of the show. Congratulations! :clap::clap::clap:
 
Holy moly, there are no original adjectives this late in this thread, but o-m-g that is amazing! I love the color, the chunky facets , the chameleon rainbow colors...and that setting is just perfect. Perfect! Perfect!
Congrats on such a stunner!
 
Absolutely stunning! Congratulations!!!
 
So intensely beautiful! :love: You must be over the moon! Wear her in good health!
 
That is incredible. What a gorgeous unicorn of a stone. No way I'd ever guess it was N.

And the setting is sublime. I love the top and bottom prongs with the sides open.
 
Ah well I’m ruined now - that’s exactly the amount of coverage I’d love but with a 6.5-7 finger, it’ll need to be an 8-9 carater!
What a beautiful stone and the setting is perfect. Wear it in health and happiness!

Oh, oh, well at least your decision was easily made! I stand by what I said though - this is perfect, that setting is wonderful for this stone, and it's a real bonus that it doesn't spin, too. Not sure I can see you getting her a new dress!
 
Stunning ring and it looks beautiful on your hand!
 
Just lovely and you picked a perfect setting. I must say your photography skills are perfection!

Thank you so much! These were all from my phone, but I’m hoping to get my nice camera out to do another session later!
