Think I’m going with a bezel and halo

I know terrible to keep you hanging. Believe me when I tell you that I would much rather have preferred to stay home and savor the experience. Mom life!

I snapped these really quickly while the kids were playing outside. It is divine, the halo even sparkles despite having no diamonds. It weighs 7.43 grams but it isn’t too weighty at all. The diameter is literally perfect for my rather hefty fingers. Originally I named this diamond Goldie but her new name is Goldilocks because she is “just right”. The diamond itself is 1.18 carats, SI2 clarity, I don’t have an official color, sold to me as champagne. It is an old mine cut, beautiful puffy crown and all.

A big thank you to @diamondseeker2006 for so graciously letting me use this design. Also obviously a big huge thank you to David and Amy for their patience and quality of work.

Excuse my nails, I have been painting and they show it! These are taken in all different lighting, some inside and some outside.

Your ring turned out beautifully. Unique and absolutely wonderful on your hand. The engraved halo is outstanding.
 
You have great taste! Are you going to wear Goldilocks when your sister-in-law comes? :bigsmile:

She is here today, I get to see her in two hours and most of the day tomorrow :doh:

Of course this is a welcome distraction :

Thank you so much @starbrite

I am for one of a kind, granted someone could replicate the setting but they would also have to find an old mine cut in this color. It’s fun to have something that is basically only yours. Guess the husband falls into that category too :twisted2:
 
This turned out so stunning! I saw it on IG and was so happy for you! It's amazing how the cad can look good but then the real deal on your hand is like **THUD** phenomenal!!!
 
Thank you @CHRISTY-DANIELLE, I was so excited to have an Insta-famous jewel! It is definitely a surprise to see the final look even with the cad and a wax model. Until you have it in hand you just can appreciate all the details.
 
Had to get a shot in the first rose of the season!

I haven't logged on in like a week so I'm late to the party! It's so beautiful @YadaYadaYada! Shall you be doing an official SMTB?
 
Absolutely SMASHING - love love love
 
Thanks @Spring Day! I wasn’t planning on a SMTB but maybe. I feel like so many folks have seen it already it would be like :roll: if I make another thread about it lol!

Thank you @Cerulean and that sums up how I feel about it!

You gotta do it! This was just the RT thread. "The Making of"

Plus there's a lot of people that don't visit RT. Go! SMTB! DO IT!
Just don't do it at the same time as my 3-stone and steal my thunder. :lol::lol::lol:

Ahhhhh okay, let me see about putting together a post.

I would never steal your thunder, maybe the gorgeous 3-stone but not your thunder :lol:
 
@YadaYadaYada Sometime in the next year I'm hoping to do something similar to this w/DK. Little 5mm light yellow oec. I hope you don't mind? ;)

Have at it! Actually the engraved halo wasn’t my idea, I saw it on his IG as a pendant and didn’t realize it was a PS’ers. Thankfully she gave her blessing for me to use it for my ring.

Can’t wait to see your creation!
