One-year anniversary upgrade surprise! We are 50-something’s who reconnected and married mid-pandemic after 30 years of friendship. Things happened fast for us and we embraced it all. So a one-year surprise is right on pace

2.08 I VVS2, Ideal, Ex, Ex, no fluorescence. 0.48 pave halos and band. New setting is taller, yet equally elegant and understated. Original is a pave basket, new is pave hidden halos. Finger size 4.75. Eternity wedding band nestles better alongside new setting due to the height.

Hidden halos give me butterflies: like elegant lining in a sumptuous coat, not there to impress anyone - my sparkly secret. Sparkle of the whole piece is just beyond - pics don’t do it justice. Like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Included contrast pics because i especially appreciated those as i googled diamond-porn online. Original stone 1.5 I VS1, Ideal, Ex, Ex, light fluorescence. Contrast is a little unfair to original as it needed a cleaning.

Upgrade is more modest than monstrous, just perfect. This is as large as i‘d ever want on my small-ish hand and finger.

EDIT: Apologies for double post - did not see first one appear, so did it again and now can’t figure out how to delete the first one!
