Rose gold LOGR square halo with Green grey diamond

[T L]

I was just floored when I opened the box from LOGR, not only did this ring weigh a ton (okay about 7 grams), but it had diamonds all over the place and it was so three dimensional. Keep in mind that these pictures were taken in my car on a very overcast rainy day as I left the shipping place where I picked up the ring. The diamonds are all eye clean and sparkle like crazy. No cloudy ones spotted at all. LOGR really did a wondeful job. This is probably my favorite LOGR and I have many!!

Here is a side view with leaves in the gallery.

Here is the shank on my big fat finger, really thick!!

Here is the diamond on a very overcast day. It is not a milky stone, but it does have some yellow fluor. I love this stone. 1.5 carats and 7.25 mm.

Here is the diamond on top of the ring. I did not mess with this photo at all. The green came alive when I put it in the rose gold. It was incredible!! It is also not reflecting any green anywhere. I was in a grey car and wearing a black shirt.

When I shaded the diamond with my hand, it went more grey, but it just goes to show you all the personality it has.

Here it is next to my other rose gold (with green grey and pink sides). This ring is just immense in size. I will take more pics when it is finally set, but I just wanted to show everyone because I was so excited!!!

Oh WOW! That is so gorgeous! I would be thrilled too. Seeing that setting has made me want to re-consider buying a setting from them. Glad that you and so many others have such great luck with them!

 

[T L]

Thanks CCN!!

Here's that same picture above, from far away. Again, I have no idea why/how the stone went so green, and I saw this with my naked eyes. It was a very white/cloudy day. It was not some camera trick. I take my pics in macro/auto mode. My jeweler took a look at the diamond with a loupe and deemed it an SI stone, so I was quite happy!! I personally cannot see any inclusions with my naked eyes, but perhaps some people can?????

I have to say that I don't think I could ever find such a wonderful, thick heavy (7 grams), diamond encrusted (1 carat of melee) ring for the price I paid anywhere else on this planet (maybe if I robbed a store - LOL!!).

Thanks for looking. I should be getting back the set ring on Saturday, so I'll post more pics in different lighting. In hallogens at my jewelers, it was OMG!!!

 

[stacy]

That''s a nice setting, and I absolutely love your diamond! That is such a cool color, and it''s perfect in rose gold. I bet you can''t wait to get her set and to have that baby on your hand all the time!

 

[stepcutnut]

Love the setting-did you upgrade the diamonds or get lucky with the clarity? I can''t wait to see handshots!

 

[T L]

Thanks Stacy!! I can't wait either!!

SCN,
I did not upgrade the diamonds, they are wonderful. It is also 14K RG. Thank you!

 

[LD]

WOW TL - it''s HUGE!!!! Congratulations. You sound completely bowled over by it. I can''t wait to see more handshots (pretty please!).

Errrrrrrrr, well in white gold it would look sensational but I know you adore RG!!! I can''t believe that it weighs over 7g - I don''t think I''ve seen one of his rings with that weight before. Are you happy with the diamonds?

OMG, my mouth dropped when I saw this pic!!!

That is one blingalicious setting!

TL, your diamond just GLOWS in this setting! I see can definitely see the green! I think our stones may come from the same famiy, because you definitely captured the color of our diamonds. I also think mine may also have fluorescence (not sure if it's blue, yellow or green).
I am so happy to see your stone in RG because I will be sending my stone to my jeweler tomorrow, and I am also getting a RG head. The RG definitely gives it that rich contrast!

Please please please take more pics! I wanna see more!

ETA: Why does your 1.5 look more green in RG than your 1.05 (especially in the pics)? Does this have more green saturation than your 1.05?

LOL LD!! I'm very very happy with the diamonds!! I'm so glad I didn't have to upgrade this time because it is substantial diamond weight, so it would have tacked on at least $250 to the cost of the setting. When I first opened the LOGR box, I did so very slowly, hoping for at least some clean diamonds (his workmanship has always been very good on all my pieces), and when I opened it, my eyes went

. I could not believe how astoundingly beautiful it was. It reminds me of a Simon G piece. It has all the very intricate motif's and dimensionality I would expect in such a piece. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

Besides, I'm a real sucker for round stones in square halos, so it has an art deco inspired appeal to me.

Here's the listing, and I made a lower offer (still in the $400's though) and he accepted. The price is awesome for so many eye clean diamond melees and the gold weight, forget about all the labor that went into this piece. WOW!!

ETA: Just noticed that he forgot to do the millgraining, but that's okay. It's still beautiful without it.

Thanks PR, I'm so glad you like it. It does have multiple personalities as far as color is concerned, and that's why I love colored diamonds in general. The color shifts are so cool. You should get a cheapy UV light - they sell them for around $5 on ebay. I'll definitely take more pics after it's set (it's at the jewelers right now).

It is more green than my 1.05 carat green grey, and it's cleaner and a bit brighter. I took a pic of my original green grey in the car this morning in the same lighting to give you a comparison. This stone is definitely not as green, but I think it still looks cool in this shot. I actually showed both stones IRL to someone, and she said the 1.5 was green (I didn't tell her it was a greenish diamond), and she said it looked even greener than my 1.05 that I was wearing that day.

Hey, maybe our stones are cousins!!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Wowsers! You got a killer deal on what looks to be a super substantial ring - congrats, TL!!!!

Can''t wait to see the diamond set in this one . . . looks like the rose gold was a perfect choice to bring out that green!

 

[mochi]

That setting is awsome. So pretty! I also love the round diamond in that square setting. You are getting it set this week, yes???

 

[D&T]

Love love love the setting TL!! you did well! I love how it flows and the angle it has, Can''t wait to see the finished piece!

Thanks Lauren,
I even emailed Stephan to thank him for such a beautiful setting. I''m glad you see how the RG brings out the green. RG isn''t for everyone, but I adore it.

 

[T L]

Thanks Mochi, hopefully it will be set by late Saturday.

D&T, thank you!! I love the fluidity of the piece as well.

 

[T L]

My photos aren't the greatest, but this reminds me so much of the color of my diamond, especially in the RG.

 

[StonieGrl]

Sha-ZAAAAM! Get down!

That diamond in that setting, meant to be! Looks superfab, congratulations and please do post pics when set.

I am a LOGR ''virgin'' but I want something similar for a 5 ct 10.5 mm Pakistani portuguese cut peridot that I have. I need to have the ring sized up and if I understand their language correctly, I would probably order this setting and have them customize it to fit my 10.5 mm round stone.

Can''t wait to see your ring when completed. Very substantial and ''important'' looking.

 

[Lovinggems]

Wow that''s a beautiful setting and your green diamond looks perfect in it. I must resist colour diamonds, I must resist colour diamonds...

That is so awesome, TL! We can still get the "green" look without having Bill Gate''s love child or being promoted to Sultan''s Head Wife. It''s amazing how a colored diamond can have such nice saturation (comparable to a pure color), but its value drops substantially when the modifying color is the dominant color. There is a HUGE difference between pinkish brown and brownish pink.

LOL @ our stones being cousins! Maybe one day, they can have a family reunion.

Although your side of the family is much larger than mine!

I can tell you that I find greenish diamonds more appealing than blue ones. They just seem so mystical and mysterious to me, like they have special powers. I don''t know, blue diamonds just seem MEH to me. Then again, the color blue just doesn''t get my attention, especially in gemstones. But a bluish green or greenish blue??? Now we''re talkin! It reminds me of warm tropical waters.

Congrats again on finding such a gorgeous, substantial setting for a steal! I am so excited about RG!

PR,
I saw Bill Gates in a magazine the other day, and instantly thought of what you said

. Needless to say, I quickly turned the page!!

As for blue diamonds. I saw a half carat fancy light greyish blue that cost about $35K. Well, it was one of those "I have to imagine the blue color being there." It didn't appeal to me, especially for the price, so I hear what you're saying.

I may have more colored diamonds, but they have much larger cousins on your side of the family tree - LOL!!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear you're also going to use RG.

Like your diamonds, you are a gem!

ETA: PR, speaking of blue diamonds, this one is rather yummy. You can actually see that it's blue, and it's a gorgeous ring.

It's an HPHT created diamond, but you can see that it's blue!!

Thank you Stonie Girl. I have some customized LOGR''s and they came out fantabulous. LOGR''s are kind of like potato chips, you can''t stop at one!! I hope you know what you''re getting yourself into, being an "LOGR virgin" and all.
