My ring

I finally got my ring back and a few people have been wanting me to post pictures of it. I changed it up a little bit, and I really love the way it turned out.

Here is the "Before" picture without my mom's diamond in it: (this is a CZ they put in until it was finished)

I really wanted to use the diamond from my mother's old ring because 1) it's stunning! 2) it's sentimental 3) Why wouldn't I use it? That means we don't need to pay for a diamond! ;)

So, I had them make a custom crown that was identical to the first crown that held the CZ, but just make it proportional to the size of my mom's diamond because hers was bigger than the CZ. I got it back, and I just didn't love it. It was too bulky and big, and I wanted it to look more delicate and simple. I am usually not a picky person, but I figured it was okay to be picky in this case because I will be wearing it every day for the rest of my life!

So, I decided to change the crown to 4 prongs instead of 6, and get rid of the basket completely because I think that's what was making it look bulky and big. I LOVE the results! It is much more simple and I love how you can see the shape of the diamond whereas before it was covered by the basket.

Better, right? I love it! (if you couldn't tell)

And I love that it was my mother's diamond. It means so much to me!
