When we got engaged, like a thousand years ago, my husband gave me a 2.75 carat Tiffany Legacy, which I wore for a long time, but with the arrival of kids, it just stopped making sense, and then with the addition of dogs, it made even less sense. It was too big for daily wear and honestly, I never felt that it flattered my less than elegant (i.e. stumpy) fingers. It sort of took up residence on the kitchen counter, then migrated to my jewellery box and eventually ended up pretty permanently in the safe. About a year ago, my H suggested I choose something that I loved as a replacement. We went to Cartier and Tiffany's and nothing was really jumping out at me. One night, random googling led me to Pricescope.
I spent way too many hours I spent admiring everyone's amazing bling, but the ones I kept going back to look at over and over were the lower coloured OECs and the VC Emilyas. I debated going with one of Victor's oec cuts, which look gorgeous, but kept coming back to the fact that I wanted something lower coloured, and eventually found a gorgeous 2.26 M from Erica at LAD.
After I ordered it, I got slightly panicky that the ring would be too blingy - we're American but live in London where people don't really do ostentatious rings - but it's not. It's absolutely perfect. The thing that no pictures really seem to convey about the Emilya is that it's so incredibly delicate, and the melee is done so delicately and cleanly, that at first glance, it almost falls somewhere between a halo and a solitaire.
I have to warn in advance that my pictures don't do either the stone or this ring justice (and that my hands are red and icky as I'd just come in from a run in the cold).
