Hubby just upgraded me! He was never a fan of my 3.49 G VS1 in a halo. New ring is 5.53 I VS2. Need to take some better pics in sunlight! I went with a super skinny band that I must admit I’m not loving. Looking for something a bit thicker. I’m like this basket as it lets in a lot of light

I love it, but agree a thicker band would be better. Maybe slightly thinner than your eternity band.

Hi! I love your stone. What is an OEC? Old-European Cut? Is that why the stone looks more flat and cushioned, but still round? I have been obsessed for a long time to figure out what this stone shape is, because I love how it’s more flat.

Hello my friend, not OP, but a collector of old cut stones. Yes, this is an Old European cut stone. Old European cuts are typically like the one in this photo; a small table, visible culet, more depth (so often appear smaller in face-up compared to MRB for the same carat weight, but also leads to unique and enjoyable light return compared to MRB). They have larger/different faceting compared to modern round brilliant cuts, so that they flash light like a “chunky” clearly-faceted cushion cut as compared to a “crushed ice/crushed glass” cushion cut.
