Congrats to everyone!I recently got married in the summer 2016 and love to share my Tiffany Soleste ring with matching band.
My wedding heels are by Rene Caovilla. Have a wonderful day everyone!
Absolutely breathtaking!! Would you mind sharing the specs of your ring and finger size?
SO lovely poshmommy! I love his claw prongs. How do you like the single cuts in the melee for a halo?
Here's is my very recently (over Xmas) upgraded E-ring. I have a beautiful (die-struck, hand carved) wedding ring that is very difficult to coordinate without doing an exact match and so I've had some ring drama the last years...I decided instead of resetting my old stone to put all my eggs in one basket this time and this stone was hubby's choice and he urged me to consider it. (I was going to pick a smaller one.) He chose very well!
Here are a few pictures. ( I went a little crazy with the camera when I got it.....)
Oops- stats on my set are: It's a super ideal cut Brian Gavin Blue (his fluorescent line). 1.65 K vs2 with medium fluorescence, in a platinum fishtail setting from the 1940's, that BGD's bench rehabbed for me, size 6. The blossom wedding ring is Van Craeynest and the 5 stone ring is 1cttw from IDJ in New York that was a present from Mr Bcat a few years ago for Xmas.

Outside- picks up so many lovely colors everywhere!
I love the single cuts with this stone!
Congrats on your Brian Gavin upgrade! It's beautiful! Isn't he the nicest guy to work with? He created my original Asscher engagement ring set.
The single cuts like like they'd be so nice in this halo styling! But then again, his single cuts are probably as nice as others full cuts, lol!
Thank you so much for the compliment poshmommy! He is super nice! And somehow also, I tend to get Lesley when I've "gotten up to no good" as hubby says, With them. And she's always super easy to work with. So glad you got to keep your lovely original set! I had to turn my old stone in (also BGB) and was so nervous- but dang, I think he outdid himself on this one! I didn't think it could get MORE sparkly than the last one! And his bench did a super job on the refinement of the fishtail. It reminds me now of the fishtail Van Craeynest engagement rings without their heavy (but beautiful) over-complication.
Posted mine to play along! 
I got engaged on February 14, 2015 - and married on October 10, 2015. My ring is a Tiffany setting, .89 carat diamond solitaire, color E, VVS1, very good cut. My wedding band is a custom made ring with emerald baguettes and four small diamonds from my husband's mom's family. (My mom always wears emeralds and we're Irish so a nice way to combine both families.)

Can you advise how many ctws the eternity band against your ering is? I just love the way this entire look came together. Have never been a fan of halo rings until now.

It's lovely paired with the emeralds and a great size on your hand!

LOVE!! I love vintage rings & Van Craeynest bands! I almost bought that same band multiple times... keep putting it in a cart & not checking out - but then I really would be putting the cart before the horse so I wait... lol

Very beautiful!
Thank you kbell! I do love Van C bands, though I find them hard to coordinate with things other than stacking bands. In retrospect, I might have had an easier time if I had picked the one with just flowers all around instead of at column stations, or the column ring that was just column all the way around. This one has a matte finish that is so hard to pair with rings! I am discovering it looks nice with rose gold of most sorts though....so I'll be exploring that some more.
