#JOTW The 5+ carat ring thread.

WOW! Just Wow! I so enjoyed drooling and dreaming going through this whole post this afternoon. I don't know if I will ever own a 5+ carat diamond or even if I could, I am not so sure I will feel comfortable with that size but I would sure like to try! :razz:
 
Redid setting on my 5.5 round. Setting in my avatar was temp and I thought it looked too thin with 1.5mm shank. Asked my jeweller to copy setting but put it on steroids! Think it looks much sturdier and I don’t worry about it being too dainty for everyday wear 9292135F-B44F-495E-B5BF-4BBD0E6EA7C8.jpeg

Please join me in congratulating @princessk, this is the Jewel of the Week. :kiss2:

Jewel of the Week 7-8-22
 
I am waiting for @KristyDarling :wavey:to post hers here- as well as her thread:D

There's a sneak peek on Caysie's IG, although she remarked how tough it was to capture this particular stone's true beauty in photos...which I have confirmed to be true! :P2 I'm waiting to create a thread until the matching wedding band is done, which may be another few weeks! :bigsmile:

I did see Caysie’s IG post and surmised it was yours:mrgreen:.
I remember how tough it is to photograph step cut stones, but I can tell from Caysie’s pics and from your impeccable taste in bling that this ring is one for the ages, kd:kiss2::kiss2:
Can‘t wait to see your thread on it:appl::appl::appl:
 
Oooo this is exciting

Holly (my 5.318ct H VS2 diamond) got a new dress - setting done by Victor Canera. Victor sent the setting to me and then I got a local jeweller to set Holly into it.

@Phoenix, Holly looks gorgeous in her new dress! I know from pps that you have been thinking of haloing your diamond for a while...it looks fabulous on your hand! Victor's settings are beautifully done, those melee are exactly the right size. I'm excited for you and I hope you are loving this reset!!

Thank you so much, @junebug17 .

Yes, indeed I have been wanting to reset Holly in a VC's halo for a looong time. Finally got round to doing it. The local jeweller did a pretty decent job. Victor was a dream to work with. He delivered exactly what I asked for and he knew instinctively how delicate I wanted the melee to be. This is Holly's permanent dress now.:kiss2:

Ummm can we please have a dedicated thread with about a billion pics?? Pretty please???? :kiss2:
 
I LOVE that VC setting on you, @Phoenix ! The split shank is a nice variation to the original Emilya! :kiss2:

So glad you found a permanent setting for Holly after all these years! :appl:

These are both gorgeous, Phoenix!!! Holly looks fabulous in the Emilya! I really like the split shank, too! Who made your yellow diamond setting? I like the yellow diamond halo next to the stone.

Can we see a profile view, @Phoenix ?! And anymore pics you'd like to share with us of course!

I am afraid I may clog up this thread. Let me see if I can post a thread of my own some time.

Thank you, @diamondseeker2006 .

Alex Park sold me the yellow (U-V) pear diamond and his bench set it. He did an amazing job too.

Actually, mine is like this but with a round halo (instead of cushion):

 
Ok, not a separate thread. But 1 more pic::)

Holly looks absolutely glorious in the Emilya, Phoenix! :love: So stunning and perfect on your hand.
