DSS and PS influence resulted in these new wedding rings and diamond. I was only considering CBI or ACA diamonds and I had great customer service from both Wink and Melissa at High Performance Diamonds and Brittany at Whiteflash. I can't say enough good things about either company or their amazing diamonds.

Here are the WF images of the diamond and specs.

F VS1 ACA 1.52 carats

I ordered two 3mm scattered diamond bands from WF in 14K YG and had them add a platinum legato head to one for my ering.

The little less than 1 pointers in the bands really sparkle like crazy in the right lighting.

Your rings are beautiful! What an interesting idea to get those two bands and make one an engagement ring!

The stone is gorgeous - congrats on a wonderful upgrade!
 
What a gorgeous diamond!!! I think 1.5ct is the perfect size! Really cool idea for the setting too :appl:
Beautiful set!

I love it :love: Enjoy!
 
Beautiful stone and rings plus they look lovely on you too...congratulations!
 
So beautiful and elegant. What a gorgeous pair!! I've got a 1.52 as well (1.524 to be exact) and the size feels amazing. Enjoy.
 
Very very beautiful set!! I love it. Congratulations!!

Thanks MissGotRocks. I bought a Tiffany Etoile band about a month ago and thought about making an ering from another Tiffany band but wearing two 4mm bands together seemed like a lot to me. I thought of having WF make me a 3mm band with the same curvature and weight as the Tiffany band but the 18K gold in the Tiffany band was getting pretty scratched up already so I was going to just get a solitaire from WF. I asked WF to send me photos of a few solitaires with some 3mm and 4mm scattered diamond bands. I was kind of leaning towards getting two 3mm bands from WF but that seemed a bit wasteful since I already had the Tifany band. I showed the photos to my husband who quickly said I think you should get two 3mm from them. He didn't have to suggest it twice. :bigsmile: Sometimes I can wear my Tiffany band with the ering or my 1/2 ctw channel set band.

In case some of you are wondering – MCAUDI is my new screen name. I’ve been posting on here for years as Marcy but my account seems to be having issues updating avatar pictures and information so I created a new account.

Thank you Woofmama. I was looking at a 1.25 carat first but it honestly wasn’t that much difference in size from my 1 carat. DH talked me in to the 1.5 carat size and I can’t say I am unhappy he did.

Thank you Kathley.

Thank you Redroze. Right now the size seems pretty large to me but I am sure I will quickly adapt. I will have to go find your 1.524 carat ring (if I haven’t seen it already). I was teasing my husband at lunch today now I’ll have to upgrade the stones in my RHR.

Thank you LLJsmom.

I honestly wondered if it could be you but didn't think you did trades with WF so I figured it wasn't. I also knew you had recently gotten the Tiffany Etoile so figured you wouldn't do this! Ha! Joke is on me! I love your rings though - such a fabulous idea! Your stone is gorgeous too - what a great upgrade for you! You'll always be Marcy to me!!!
 
Lovely! Congrats on the upgrade.
 
HI:

Queen of upgrades---I LOVE it! :appl: Wear your rings in health.

cheers--Sharon
 
That is a stunning upgrade. Congrats! :wavey:

MissGotRocks, Ella tried to fix my account for me but I am still locked out of making changes to my profile. I feel like a "sneak" using a different name. :lol: I am not opposed to buying from online vendors but since 90% of my jewelry is from a place in Denver with a great upgrade policy I usually buy from them. I gave them first shot at finding me a diamond since I would get full credit for my 1 carat diamond. But since I wanted something with the quality of an ACA or CBI they couldn't find me anything I was interested in. I was already emailing WF back when I was thinking about getting another 4mm band. I should have picked the diamond first, then the ering, then the band but luckily the Tiffany band I bought is a larger size and I can wear it on my right hand.

DH was very skeptical of me buying a diamond online since we wouldn't be able to see it and touch it. I think he is convinced now it's okay to buy from trusted online vendors.
 
Thank you Sweet Blossom.

Hi Sharon! Yes, I do have a habit of upgrades. Marty doesn’t believe me but I told him this diamond is for keeps.

Thank you Derbygal.
 
The stone is a beauty and I love the one pointers in the ring. I have considered putting a couple of colored diamond one pointers in my ering. Never happened hough
 
Thank you heididdl. I think one pointer colored diamonds in your ering would look amazing. What color were you considering?
 
Oh, wow, not I am going to have to remember who you are with this new account! Glad you put Marcy down at the bottom!

LOVE your new rings...F VS1, very nice!!!!! :love:
 
Thanks Diamondseeker. My initial search on diamonds was for a G VS2 but I can't say I'm sorry I ended up with this diamond.

Marcy
 
Beautiful set!
 
A beautiful ACA center stone AND a scatter diamond band?

The best of both worlds!

Congratulations!
 
What a gorgeous diamond, and a beautiful set! Fabulous upgrade marcy, congrats! :appl:
 
I love the contrast of the white of the diamond against the yellow of the band. Beautiful!
 
What a feminine and beautiful set! That diamond rocks!!
Enjoy wearing your new beauties :wavey:
