The stone is such an eye pleasing shape and it's tone is totally complimented by the yellow gold setting.
Love it stacked with your Cartier ring too.!
ENJOY!!
A HEART-y hello to all!
Yes.. I do have a new ring to add.
Way back on page one of this delightful thread I had a 1.68 carat heart shaped necklace.. now a few years later it's a ring!
I just got it reset into a simple rose gold setting as per my daughters suggestion.
Here it is paired with a thin Trinity ring and a VCA Perlee ring.
I also include a shot on my daughter's far less wrinkly hand.
Thank you Rubies-R-Me, Queenie60, Motownmama and imdoubler for liking my ring! It's a modest 0.75 carat engagement ring on a 2.75 ring size finger. Husband (fiance back then) and I were initially sourcing for a stone that meets our desired stone face-up size dimensions and is within our preferred price range, and it so happens that this little gem is also a lovely F colour, IF clarity stone.
This ring is a reset, as the first setting became too thick and painful to wear overtime. After 4 years of wearing it, I finally took the plunge for a remake. It was a timely improvement too, since I never liked the unequal scrolls and thick basket in the first setting done by a local jeweller.
I approached the talented and detail-oriented David Klass for a reset. The scrolls seen in the side profile are inspired by sound holes in string instruments, because my husband and I are music lovers. The petal claw prongs are a nod to our love for nature and hiking, which have been cleverly modified by David subtly to mirror the calligraphy style of the "f sound hole" scrolls. I love that the ring design is now cohesive and combines all elements of things that are meaningful to us as a couple. The shank thickness has also been decreased from an original 2.7cm to a current 1.7cm. I also had the scrolls made in rose gold, so as to match our rose gold branch wedding bands.
Here are some photos of the "before and after" settings, for a better comparison:
