Hi all, thanks for all of your help in this process. I went ahead and had my jeweler set my diamond in the semi-custom setting they made for me today. I absolutely love it, and we couldn''t have done it without you. I think that I ended up with a much better diamond and price that I otherwise would have ended up with if I didn''t find you guys!
I''m sorry...this pictures are quite blurry, but my digital camara just couldn''t do any better. I''ll give you a short description so that you have a better idea of what it is. The center diamond is a .75 radiant cut diamond of F color and VVS2 clarity, and it is from the signature series at dirt cheap diamonds. The specs are a little less than ideal (depth 59%, table 65%, girdle thin, polish/sym both vg, and crown 9%), but my gemologist said that the cut was excellent and I aggreed that it looked fantastic despite the lower depth! Sometimes you have to see it, especially with fancy cuts. He also said that it looked more like a .80 since the ratio is 6.25*4.97*2.97.
For the setting, I went with a local jeweler in the LA area who did a semi-custom design for me. I was inspired by the look of daniel k settings (which were too expensive) and brittany spears'' ring of all things...I do not like brittany spears...but she has a great ring... The bands are 1.4mm each and are set with small diamonds half way around the bands. The back converges and is soldered together for comfort. Also, the head is a simple basket. The bands are white gold, the basket is platinum.
I am so excited to show this ring off...but unfortunately I have to wait until he officially proposes to wear it. So I guess...put me on the WIL list heehee! All in all though, it will be worth the wait. Thanks for all of your help again, you all are fantastic!
