Bought this ring impulsively on eBay, and half w/ my heart... luckily it turned out good. Ari from Singlestone verified the stats for me, and said i did very well!! Price was pretty good. So i'm happy! Finally took some pics, but like all my other pics... they suck. Diamond is eye clean and almost loupe clean... all spots are probably my mangy fingerprints.

1.64 OEC
K, VS1


Its little friend is a garnet ring, also from ebay. I bought it for the setting, but it's so pretty i'm going to keep the whole thing as is!
Very heavy and solid setting, in 14k white gold. The bags on the sides are very clean too! Price was amazing as well.. $175.

Hello

Just wanted to share my recent Upgrade!

Solitaire is 1.17 CTW I color SI1 AGS Ideal in a Platinum Tiffany style band from James Allen. Plain Platinum band is from Tiffany and Eternity is a .33 Martin Flyer from my local jeweler.

My original set was a .41 Pear and wrap band in YG and was not very good cut at all, but neither of us knew a thing about diamonds 17 years ago

Background: This is a ring bought second hand off craigslist...for a really good price. I was very lucky to be scanning the adds at the right time! This is a Tacori #HT2326. Its my dream ring.The center stone is a AGS 000 1.19ct J SI1 RB Hearts & Arrows (brand Heart Star) 6.89-6.90 X 4.19, no fluor. 34.9 crown angle, 54 table, 43.2 pavillion, 60.8 total depth, thin to medium girdle. The side stones are both GIA .30 ct VS2, fine make each that come with the setting from Tacori. The setting is platinum, channel set melee on 3 sides with scalloping and milgrain going around the entire band. It has a total of 28 melee diamonds with .50 ct, for a total of 2.29 ctw.
I have another J colored stone and this one is icy white compared to it, because it is such a great cut. Anyway, Im thrilled, its perfect for me!

OK Ladies, As promised - hopefully my uploading will work! As most people say the pictures do not do justice to the ring in real life - it sparkles like crazy! I also feel like the pictures make it all look much darker that it really is. Nevertheless the stats are:

1.16
F
SI1 (The teeny tiny bubble that is apparently existent but beyond microscopic I can't find despite "knowing" where it is)
The setting is 18 karat white gold with about 0.63 CTW (G-H SI1) in the side and basket.
Ring size 7 Wide (which I think means 7. 1/8 but I am going to get it sized a bit bigger to 7.25 I think)

We got the ring custom made though it was based off a simon g ring we saw and liked. We went custom because it was going to cost about the same (maybe a smidgen more) but we got a much sturdier ring - he used a ton of gold, the ring is quite heavy especially if I think back to some of the designer ones I tried on in store.

Hi everyone

Finally I am able to post here, pics of my new e-ring, my original was damaged and my husband offered to get me a better one, one day, and, two and half years later, that day finally came - she sparkles like mad and i'm so proud to have her - we were meant to be together!

It was made at Graff, London and the centre stone is a pear 1.5 carat, D VS2, with two .35 side pears, in platinum (ring size 5.5).

I took advantage of the mini-heatwave we are experiencing in the UK and took some pics of it in the sunshine!

Hi everyone. I finally am able to post my 20th anniversary upgrade ring that I received on Tuesday. I purchased the diamond in August but couldn't decide on a setting. I ultimately figured out that no matter how many different options I was looking at my heart kept pulling me back to a simple, classic solitaire.

General Specs:
GOG AVC
1.66
SI 1
L
Trueste Solitaire in platinum
finger size 6 3/8

Let me start off by saying that it was a pleasure to work with Sarah at GOG. This was easily the smoothest high dollar transaction over the internet I have ever had. This establishment is first class all the way. The diamond is everything I thought it would be and more. Jonathan really knew what he was doing when he developed the August Vintage line.

The setting is the Trueste solitaire by Victor Canera. This man is amazing. He is very kind, patient, respectful, accessible, talented and a true gentleman. We traded what seemed like a million emails and even though I ended up choosing a relatively a simple setting compared to some of the intricate beauties he has done for other pricescope members, he never made me feel like I was less important. I signed the work order for the ring last Thursday. He told me it would be about 2-3 weeks for it to be done. The next day I got an email saying it would be done that weekend and it was mailed out to me the next Monday. The total time from order to my husband putting the lovely ring on my finger was less than a week! I love how the ring turned out - it is perfect for me. I will be ordering a wedding band soon and once I decide on the style, you can bet I will be calling upon Mr. Canera again!

Without further adieu ... please meet my upgrade.

First - a link to the ring and video of my actual ring from VC

My ring is on its way, somewhere between Houston and Chicago!

It is set with a 1.56 8.03x6.06mm H VS1 Emerald cut diamond (re-cut by BGD and then purchased by us on the secondary market)
My ring size is 4.5
The setting is unplated 14k white gold

So, I made a silly, dumb mistake. I accidentally ordered the Melissa (a half-round shank) when all along, I wanted the Melanie (knife edge shank!) So, so dumb. Its getting sent back before I see it to get knife edged, and then I won't see it again until he decides i get to

Size 5

E-Ring

Get ready for some pictures! These are the best pictures I have right now; I need some practice!

Greetings...

After soliciting the help of PS ([URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-me-choose-please-pictures-inside.166306/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-me-choose-please-pictures-inside.166306/[/URL]), I pulled the trigger on a Brian Gavin Blue diamond, in their Classic Tiffany-Style Half Round setting. Having never seen blue fluorescence in a diamond, I had them send me the stone for an evaluation, and I checked it over in a variety of lighting conditions. The stone was absolutely gorgeous, and looked great in direct sunlight.

Fast forward, the ring is done and on its way to me (though FedEx goofed up and sent it to some other random place 250 miles away, so it'll need to be recalled and re-shipped). Behold the "glamour shots".

Proposal scheduled for the week of November 1, when I'll be taking a trip with my hopefully soon-to-be fiance and a group of friends to the Dominican Republic.

Diamond Specs:

1.262 ct G-VS1 with Strong Blue Fluorescence
AGS 0

Depth: 60.7%
Crown: 34.6 degree
Pavillion: 40.8 degree
Girdle: Thin to Medium

I have been lurking here for a while but this is my first post

I have been married for 13 years, when we got engaged we couldn´t afford a very expensive ring (up to now I had a 0.25 round brilliant with small sidestones) and I always dreamed of getting a 1 carat diamond ring. Now my dream has finally come true, my husband bought me a diamond and I had the ring custom made to fit next to my wedding and eternity bands. I love princess cuts but also wanted the ring to match my other two bands which have small round brilliants, so we had 3 small rounds set into each side of the ring. The ring is made out of white and yellow gold.

It´s a long story, but it was a drama to get the ring made, a friend of ours is a goldsmith and made the ring for me but the workmanship was a bit poor, the prongs were very uneven, the prongs weren´t `V`prongs like I wanted and the stone still moved and rattled in the setting after the ring had been sent back 3 times, there were other problems too, needles to say I was very disappointed I had spent a lot of time planning it with him, I was quite shocked that it turned out the way it did. I expressed my frustration to my husband and we decided to find another jeweller to completely redo the ring. I am thrilled with the results I am a perfectionist and like everything to be even and symmetrical

My diamond is H colour, VVS1, 1.05 carat, ratio 1:10 (slightly rectangular).

Hello PS! First post and not sure this will work... but here goes!

I found this site a few months ago when I began the redesign of my existing engagement ring (which was a 20th anniversary upgrade, 6.5 years ago!). I found the diamonds from a PS vendor and enjoyed viewing hours upon hours of eye candy on this site. Wow - there are a *LOT* of stunning rings out there!

My 3 stone ring now has my existing 1.06 F SI1 vg/vg princess stone and its 2 new friends, .51 and .52 E VS1 ex/ex set in white gold. The side stones were from a 11th year anniversary band I was not wearing any longer and the surprise diamonds in the mount under the centre stone were from earrings that were found buried deep in the bottom of "who knows what" pile of stuff in my jewelry box.

18K white gold / palladium.
size 7.5 ring

I am not content w the width of the sides and want the jeweller to 'thin' them out. I brought photos of very thin channel settings, which was how it was designed, but the wax mould was too thick. Wanted that to be altered but the consultant advised it would be adjusted once it was poured. Unfortunately, it didn't happen - yet. I am hoping it won't be an issue to alter it.
