Here's mine! We got engaged right out of college with the 0.75 H, SI2/I1 round brilliant and 18 small stones across both bands (each 0.0125), for a total of just under 1 carat for the set. Ring size 4.75. The stones were all from my husband's grandmother's ring, and he designed the setting with a local custom jeweler.

Look great on you. You've got lovely hands and nails to show your rings off.

Hi,
I finally found you diamond people that disappeared from DT. I hadn't checked that site for a while and noticed I didn't see people I had from last year. I got a little help from R/A to find you guys! Anyway I'm new here and love all the beautiful rings that are here. EYE CANDY - LOVE IT! I'd like to add mine. It faces up J color but is an M VS2. I went for size over quality but love the warm look of the diamond. Actually if it's not next to a whiter diamond I can't tell it's not white. Plus I wear tinted glasses anyway. Ha ha! Plus the setting is vintage 1930's in platinum - hard to find. Oops I forgot to add that the center stone is 1.92 carat.

Gorgeous!! I love the 1920-1930's! Warm stones are so beautiful! It wouldn't be authentically vintage without the firey hue. That ring is TDF!!! Brilliant!

My 2ct princess cut ring from Laurenb. The diamond is a J color, 2ct VS2. The band is 1.9mm and features .60ct full cut round diamonds. This is design RS-46. It is fairly high set with V-tipped prongs. Ring size 5 3/4

I named her Camellia, my art deco OEC cluster ring I love love love

Stunning!!!!

 

[Matthews1127]

My new engagement ring . Emerald cut center stone with 2 outer rows of round stones and baguette cuts flanking the center.
Edit: No band, but I'm not so sure I need one with the round stone rows on the top and bottom. They give the illusion of a band.

Love EC! What are the specs?

CVB Jovyn solitaire and Riviere French cut eternity band. Diamond is 1.84ct I VS2 from Whiteflash. <3

I just got my lovelies cleaned, and after following the thread, and seeing all of the sparkling eye candy, I felt compelled to share!!!
My engagement ring is a Neil Lane Vintage, Split Shank, Cathedral White Gold setting sculpted with millgrain edging & scroll detail. Beaded round brilliant diamonds encircle the head of the ring, and a beaded band of brilliant rounds appears at the base of the profile, just below the head of the ring on both sides. Total Ct wt: 0.625ct. Center Stone: Emerald Cut (1.45:1 LxW ratio) diamond: 1.07ct, G color, SI2 clarity (yes...it's perfectly eye clean; all inclusions are undetected, and hidden), very good cut, very good symmetry, no fluorescence. The head of the setting was custom made in Platinum to snugly accommodate, and protect the EC Diamond.
My wedding band is a white gold, bar setting that holds 5 0.20ct RB diamonds, alternating with 4 pairings of 0.15ct stacked baguettes for a total ct wt of 1ct. All of the diamonds are G/H color, and SI2 clarity. The band was custom hand engraved with millgrain edge & scroll detail to match my NL engagement ring. Total combined carat weight: 2.70cttw.
Both rings are from our local Jeweler at Jared Jewelers. We never expected to find anything we loved this much at Jared, but we did, and we have had such wonderful experiences! They have been wonderful to work with!
My ring size is a size 6 (5.5 fits, but my fingers swell a lot, so a 6 is more comfortable).
I love Step Cut stones, especially step cut diamonds!
I love seeing so many great rings & combos of shapes & stones!!

[Megadane]

Just got engaged on May 13! My fiancé is a musician and surprised me onstage with a proposal in front of over a 1000 people at a charity event. Best night of my life!!
2.217, D, Excellent, I1. I understand I's aren't highly regarded, but the cut and color make up for it to me! I can make out two teeny inclusions at the bottom of the stone and they don't bother me at all. I'll just call 'em birthmarks Sorry for the lacklustre iPhone photos. (The half eternity ring was a 'commitment ring' given 2 years ago)

 

[goldenfire]

This is gorgeous!!! the pics are great and I love the "birthmarks" term...its a great way to appreciate the individual qualities of each diamond

 

[junebug17]

Megadane, your ring is gorgeous!!! Big, blingy, and so white and sparkly! Looks perfect with your commitment ring too! Congrats and enjoy wearing this beauty!

I started a small thread with pictures of my finished engagement ring RE-SET my husband and I did together for an ANTIQUE HALO TRI-WIRE WITH AN AIR LINE AND MELEE but it wasn't inclusive of much information. The post was more of a, "look, look what I just got back from Victor Canera, I'm so excited and don't know what I'm writing, but look!" I would like to post a little more info and maybe not as many photos, but several, so if anyone ever is looking for an air line halo (I wish I would have known sooner) they will have more examples. I really love mine!
First off, my previous ring (I'm still trying to find photos with the center stone in it) was a thin pave band - beautifully made and lovely with diamonds on the profile, but around 1.8 or 1.9ish mm. The side profile of the shank was not thin or anything, but they did drill holes for the pave - for perspective buyers, a band of that mm is far better without the drilled holes if you are worried about slight or moderate bending or even just conforming to your hand, etc. it doesn't bother some and for some it gives it character if it isn't extreme.
My center stone is J but faces up white with hints of vanilla when the light hits it at different angles. It is a VVS1 in clarity and totals 2.5cts and was purchased from BLUE NILE (the have some really beautiful diamonds if you do a bit of research and looking around).
For those looking at ASSCHERS they face up a decent bit smaller than other stones because they are deeper. Hear me out, IT IS WORTH IT, but they typically look better as they get bigger since it is easier to see the lovely cuts. I have a pair of 1 ct. tw. earrings and they are the same clarity, cut and color (lovely) but you can't really tell they aren't princess unless you get fairly close.
The setting was done by VICTOR CANERA. He is truly an artist and his HAND FORGING technique makes a noticeable difference in the quality and weight of the PLATINUM portion of the design. It is stunning. He also uses MELEE which also makes a big difference in ANTIQUE STYLES. The diamond is bezel set and then surrounded by a thin line of space (AIR LINE) and then is surrounded by the halo set with melee. I will add that if you love opening a presentation, Victor really does a spectacular job at making you feel extra special. It's like a package for royalty with all the velvety boxes, and little packages for everything - it's hard to describe and there's nothing like it and I have received a lot of packages lol.
I really can't wait to get a new band , hopefully Victor will agree to make it! I will start a thread for that since I am wanting something that I can wear alone or on a separate hand that is tri-wire with some diamonds sprinkled in or an antique diamond design stretched across the top of the finger.

Asscher Art, that is lovely!! It has the look of a bona fide antique. Congratulations!!
