Aaaand, we are kinda (fraternal) ring twins - mine just arrived and it is the same style, with a (just under) half carat, but in platinum! I was debating between yellow gold and plat, so I can't tell you how excited I was to see your ring. When I want that yg fix I'll come back here to ogle it!
I love and adore this ring more and more the more I wear it. It just continues to bring joy with all of it's details and sparkle. I took some not-so-great iphone pics that don't do it justice, but here they are anyway.
rainy!!! What an amazing coincidence! I love it in platinum, too!!!
Gosh, I am going to have to admit that I really like these settings with small to medium size diamonds. That is my fear about getting a larger stone (if it ever comes in!).
I know, right?! I couldn't believe it when I saw her post... so cool!
Thanks for the compliment on my ring - I can't even begin to express how much I am loving it! My jeweler said that she and Larry were talking and agree this setting looks better with 'smaller diamonds' (i.e. around a half carat). After only 2 days of wearing only this ring, my other ring with a 1.3ct diamond looked like a freakish growth when I put it back on! I've never really been about size, I'm not even sure what made me go for a 1.3, and this made me realize that indeed for me it is about the beauty of the package... and this ring has turned out to be the total package, far beyond my wildest expectations. (The diamond is an August Vintage round, btw. I know that's what you are looking at yourself.) I am just as in love with the VanC ring with a half carat as I am with my 1.3ct OEC JM solitaire - two very different flavors despite the similar cut and both being platinum. Basically what I am saying is, it might be worth considering going smaller if any part of you really means it.... (I also went for a D color in this diamond, i.e. smaller but higher color/clarity, and that is part of my enjoyment of it, too. My OEC is G/VS1, so no slouch either, but like you I tend towards the higher colors/clarities and this satisfied that ultimate itch.)
