Thank you!


That is such a sweet comment, thank you! :) Setting is beautiful and goes really well with my wedding band, but I'm just not sure if I'm a solitaire girl. I'm trying it out since stone is so large and I do love seeing the stone in its full glory, but I've always been a halo girl at heart plus I would love a more elaborate vintage inspired setting to go with the old cut. But I haven't fully committed to changing the setting yet so who knows!


This is the setting someone from the other forum had made many years ago, and shockingly to me, she ended up resetting it pretty soon after. But it has been my dream setting ever since I've seen it, even when I didn't have a diamond to put in it. It's quite pricey though so I'm waiting to make sure I definitely want it, plus save my pennies for it.

I'm the opposite of you. I love my OEC but love seeing everyone's step cuts, so I'm working on an emerald in asscher cut with a cutter, to wear as a RHR :smile:

Your OEC ring is gorgeous! I also love the look of step cuts and Asschers. I have a round brilliant as my engagement ring and like you I’m also looking for a step cut or Asscher for a right-hand ring, but I hate how they often face up so much smaller than the carat weight. What size range are you looking for?

I mostly lurk in LV forum but wanted to share my ring. I lost my original engagement ring 7-8 years ago, so for our 10 year anniversary DH agreed to upgrade/replace it. My original ring was 1ct MRC, so this was quite an upgrade for me and more than I could've ever dreamt of. I've only had it about 3 months and still can't stop starring at it. Setting is temporary, I'm working myself up for a dream Single Stone setting I've had my eye on for years.

2.88 J SI1 Transitional cut, bought from Love Affairs Diamonds. Size 5 finger.

Gorgeous stone and I love the 6 prong setting. That being said...the nice part of wearing a solitaire is your choice of bands. You can go crazy with colored stones/diamond shapes and change the look completely.

Your brilliant is so pretty as it. I was also tempted to halo my emerald cut when I reset it, but my jeweler talked me out of it due to my stone size. Your stone is a fantastic size already. I ended up haloing only my tapered baguettes. Why not halo the asscher/emerald rhr? Then you will have two stunning rings!

Haha I know, it's HUGE on my finger already. It's 2.88ct but spready so size up like a 3ct. So definitely not haloing for size, just visually I love vintage inspired halo, especially cushion halo with round stone.

I totally hear you about the face up size thing, and when it comes to colored stones I just can't do small stones for some reason. I actually have a really nice lab grown pink sapphire and I'm waiting for another lab grown emerald, both in asscher cut, so I'll probably set one of those. Both pretty sizable since they are not natural and I can actually afford large gems ;)

That is an excellent point! I haven't done much stacking yet but I love the look I see on other people. I did order a plain white gold band to wear with a new 5 stone ring I just bought, so I might try some stacking to see how I like it. Colored stone bands sounds delicious :)

I’m not into round diamonds, but your ring has changed my mind. Maybe it’s because you have beautiful hands and fingers, too!

Awwhow sweet of you to say so! Notice how I stragetically photograph my hand not to show my nails though? With a 3 month old I neither have time to go to a salon or do my own, and my nails are just embarrassing to show in public at this point. LOL!
