I don't think I shared any favorite photos in this thread. It's hard to choose just one because Bea has many different personalities but here is one of my favorite photos to date. Taken this month while on vacation at our beach house.

In her beach jewelry box and I am wearing my red nightgown with the sun streaming in one early morning.
(She is a VS1 and I promise those are not inclusions but dust/dirt. It had been a while since I cleaned her and the photo shoot that morning was impromptu and also there are coffee stains in the jewelry box from a little spill that AM lolbut Bea enjoys coffee just like her mommy).



Same photo not cropped.

Thank you CRM! Bea is a 4.56 carat GIA LVS1. She has the prettiest pastel colors coming from her and is a chameleon and changes with the environment.

My dh and I found her at Adam@oldworlddiamonds and named her after my grandmother who had died in 1992 and had an old cut diamond as her ER. That is the ring that started my obsession with old cuts. Sadly I cannot find any photos now of my grandma's ER. The diamond was not good quality but I loved it nonetheless and her setting was gorgeous. A platinum bezel. I recently tried finding the photos I had for LLJsmom but was unsuccessful. The ring is with my mother's SIL now.

My dh and Adam had the platinum setting inscribed with "My Bea".

That is beautiful...I literally got chills!!! I have heirloom pieces handed down from the women in my family. I wore my grandmother's set on my wedding day (on my pinkie-her hands were VERY tiny) for good luck. Your GM's ER sounds lovely; it's a shame you can't find those photos (even if you are the only one meant to see them).
Is Bea your original ER, or an upgrade? I must be honest: I'm not a fan of RB's, but Bea falls in with a small, rare few that have caught my attention. I am a step-cut queen, so Bea is pretty special to catch my eye...lol!

Thank you! How wonderful that you got to wear your grandmother's wedding set on your wedding day. That is so special!
I love step cuts too. They are so elegant and sophisticated. While I find OECs and other old cuts super romantic. But yes I am a fan of step cuts too. Timeless elegance IMO.

Bea is not my original ER and in fact is at least my third ER. I have lost count.

But luckily while I got bored and tired of the MRBs I owned I never got bored or tired with my dh and that is what counts right? Original DH but definitely not original ER. Greg proposed with a 2.93 GIA GVS2 MRB.

I will never go back to an MRB. I love OECs and other old cuts way too much. The comparison for me is just that there is no comparison. While I appreciate the splintery brightness of the MRB I just swoon over the chunky facets and soft colors of the OEC.

Agreed! I believe I was born too late!!! I love older, chunky Cuts, too!!! So happy to meet a lady by my own heart!!!
Indeed, the fact that you never grow tired of your DH is what matters most...lol!! Congratulations on your spectacular upgrade...she's a keeper (and so is he)!!
