Sometimes, simpler is better.

Well, this baby''s been through a lot in the past couple months. I had no idea that resetting would be such a PROCESS. I have definitely learned so much and ultimately, even though it got a little messy along the way, it worked out perfectly. I''m not going to elaborate on the twisty process that landed me where I am but I will say that Whiteflash customer service is truly top notch and I have something now that I truly love. I have to thank D&T for turning me on to the keystone setting....and I''m planning on getting a Danielle band (or a similar bezel band) soon to complete that amazing look!

So without futher ado, here it is. Diamond is 1 ct European cut, vs, L in color (cheers to all the warm diamond lovers out there...I''m obsessed with mine!).

WOW!!!! Lovely stone. Love the setting as well. Could you please take a picture that really show the color of this diamond? I am sooooooooo curious about how warmth color really look in a white gold setting. Could you plsssssss???

 

[CBL]

Honestly that first pic, where the stone is under a yellow light, is the warmest picture I''ve gotten. Outside and in normal lighting it faces up fairly white to me, and if anything I would say it''s sort of ''creamy'' in color. I think the white gold accentuates the creaminess and I love that. I will try to take some more pics that show the color.

Ooooooh! I really love to combination of the old cut stone with the modern style setting. I had always wondered how that would work, and it''s just stunning.

 

[geckodani]

[princessplease]

So pretty!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CBL]

Wow, thanks so much everyone for your sweet compliments, they are SO appreciated. After everything it took to get here it makes me feel really happy to hear that others like it!!

Below I am attaching the Whiteflash pics, because they kind of show the profile, and then I''ll attach another shot I took of the profile. I think it is one of the most stunning aspects of the ring. I love that it''s semi bezel but it''s so open and you can see so much of the diamond. Whiteflash did a lovely job with this setting.

As far as the old cut/modern setting...it just kind of happened. I was trying to get into the vintage thing because I thought that might look better with the stone, but the sleek and minimalist nature of this setting just really appealed to me--plus, it''s a little ''heftier'' which is great because I''m just not a very dainty girl (hence the beginning of this saga, when I cracked the old setting). And, it just really showcases the stone. No prongs or anything to detract, and I love that.

Ok, so here is the profile shot.

 

[CBL]

Best I could get of the profile myself...

 

[CBL]

You can really see the warmth of the stone in that one, although the lighting does make a difference.

Also, SO sorry for my hideous/summer/I-wash-my-hands-all-the-time cuticles.

 

[kimmyintexas]
