AW: It's HERE! (E-ring makeover F/U)

So I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was sending my e-ring back to the jeweler to get the yellow sapphires replaced with canary diamonds.

I just got it back and I am so freakin' happy with how it turned out.

I suck at taking pictures of jewelry and the lighting in my house is no good, but here are a couple iphone attempts.  They don't do it justice:

    [QUOTE]That is freaking awesome. I love it! Can you remind me of the specs on that?

    It's a 7.5 mm, cushion cut moissanite (equivalent size to about a 2 carat diamond).  Surrounded by 1.2 mm canary diamonds.  Set in palladium.  :)

    ETA:  It's really not as huge as it looks in the pictures.  The sparkle makes it look enormous.
  • Holy bat balls! That is beautiful! And you're rock is huge!

  • Wow, I forgot what your ring looked like. It looks huge (probably due to the cut). It looks great!

    This is from when it still had sapphires, but you can see the size of the center stone a little better here:

    or in Tarra's photo below:




    It's not so huge.


    And to answer Liv's question, the main reason I stopped wearing it a lot was that my hands shrank and it was too big.  But the jeweler resized it for us, so now I'll definitely be wearing it more.
  • That's a fvcking RING, my friend! Daaaaaamn. :)

    The canary diamonds are stunning!

  • Thanks ladies!  You guys give me the warm fuzzies.
  • Wow! That gorgeous. It was beautiful before, but now it's stunning. I never would have thought that little change could have made that big of a difference.

    It really did make a huge difference.  I've never been one of those "gaze at my ring for hours" kind of girls but I keep catching glances of it and smiling.
  • *sigh*

    So gorgeous!

  • Thank you Steph!
  • I LOVE it! And for all the pretty rings posted around here, I rarely say I love them. Yours, I genuinely love.

    It looks amazing, but I thought it did before.  I love that you are so in love with it though.  That is truly all that matters.

  • Beads - You're too sweet, thank you!

    Mutley - Thanks!  I really liked it before, too, but I felt like we made the wrong decision with the yellow sapphires.  When we got it back today, even FI said "wow, I can't believe we didn't just do this in the first place".  He is just as excited about it as I am; it's kinda cute.
  • Haha.  Sherman manages to photobomb pretty often in my house.
  • Love love love! It's always been beautiful, but man...!
