Peke fan pages! Where do I sign up?

LOLOL weeeeeellll, there's "pekingese lovers" and "i love my pekingese" - I'm sure you can search fb for them! hahaha


I didn't know of these groups! LOL! I am just following a few local SoCal rescue groups.. Now I gotta join these too!
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Madelise, your peke is TOO CUTE! I love those pics! Thank you so much for sharing him AND your gorgeous antique ring! So lovely.

I'm supremely jealous that you've been to the Single Stone store! I live in NYC so I haven't gotten to stop by in person. Although, I'm thinking that would be really dangerous to my bank account!
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Love how it looks on you! Looks familiar, love those side details! :P

OMG, backwardsandinheels, your ring is fantastic! I've probably looked at it a million times. Absolutely gorgeous! I love having those side designs (as I'm sure you do too). They're kind of a signature design element of Single Stone and I had to go with them!
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Gorgeous ring and amazing setting - hard for me to believe that's a reproduction and not an original vintage ring. Gorgeous!
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Congratulations! Your ring is amazing!!! The setting is so gorgeous as well as your diamond :love:
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Thank you so much almondblossom and minousbijoux! :D :D
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

I Love that ring! and it's a K color? It's so white!!! Gorgeous setting as well!!!!

Those pekes are soooo cute. I love them!!!! They literally warm my heart.

Hi Lorri!!!!!!!!! I need to see pics of your pekes! I can't remember seeing them before. I had two pekes growing up. They lived for 15 years and I miss them dearly.
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

It's an absolutely gorgeous ring! Stunning centre stone, and that setting! SWOON! It makes me want to reset my OEC AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE HER YET!!

:naughty:

It truly is a piece of art. Please post as many photos as you possibly can. I would never tire of looking at it.
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Very very pretty. I really like the structure of the design.
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Wow, amazing ring! SS did a spectacular job of recreating your inspiration ring... their settings are exquisite. Cute pup too! :love:

Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Rika...i'm sure you are still obsessed with your gorgeous ring...the stone/the setting...perfection! Could you please post the stats on your stone? ....it is lovely and you stated it was a little shallow. I always like to see the specs on these lovely old cuts, each one with it's own personality.

You can post more pic's any time too...can't get enough of that old cut bling! (your puppy is darling!)
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Hi Ariel! :wavey: Of course I can add specs!

I don't know the percentages for pavilion, depth, etc., but I do at least know the mm sizes - 10.44 x 10.16 x 5.28. Single Stone and Greenwich Jewelers were great about sending over stones (both set and unset) so I could see everything in person. I was really wary of that super shallow depth initially. There were some really nice OECs that I looked at, but surprisingly, this is the one that sparkled the most despite its shallowness. It's kind of a weird hybrid between an OEC with the petal design at the edges, and an OMC with the "maltese cross" look in the center. It ended up being the one that spoke to me the most, so I went with it despite its imperfections, and I still couldn't be happier!

I'll have to update the post with some new pics because I still look at it and can't believe I have such a beautiful little treasure on my hand!

p.s. Just realized I do at least have this shot for a little perspective!

Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

thanks Rika,

The formula for getting the depth % is to divide the mm depth by the lowest diameter mm:

5.28 divided by 10.16 = 52% depth (.51968)

10.44 x 10.16 x 5.28

Amazing how there are no rules when it comes to old cuts. thanks for sharing more pics too.
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Thanks for the info Ariel, I'm glad I know the math now! And thank you for the compliment Artdeolover (and love your name too)!
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

omg, I have so much envy. I have sent this one to the FF in the hopes of a present-in-the-future.. I think he needs more prodding.
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Sorry I missed this in October!!! It is GORGEOUS!!!! :love: :love: :love:
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Thank you so much diamondseeker and sonyachancs (and good luck with your FF ;) )!
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

Rika, I can never get enough of looking at this stone and ring. Perfect setting, like the stone and ring were born together this way. More pics at any time are welcome!!

Yes...please..
Also, do you wear it with a band?
 
Re: Engaged! 3.76 ct K color antique cushion from Single Sto

OMG, yes, I have been meaning to post a few more pics! Finally some more below!

Also, I don't have my band picked out yet, but I think I'm going to go for this Single Stone one. I'm sure I'll have a sizable gap, but I don't mind, and I'll just end up smushing them both onto my finger! Haha

Now to the pics! The lighting in my house really runs the gamut, so my ring never seems to look the same in any picture!

A good shot of that cool 3/4 octagon view!
