Congrats!  That one didn't last long.  I like rounds set with rounds.  I think Pinklady has a brown round with two smaller whites and it's on the homepage rotation.  It's beautiful!

CONGRATS!!! You got this beauty!



I must agree with DJ on the NO Sapphire sides.  I have seen a few rings, even ER's with a white sapphire as the center, and it looks VERY dead... Buy CZ if you have to but not a white sapphire!!

I could see this baby being set with white pear sides (my FAVORITE combo for RB) or maybe 2 white RB on the side?

PLEASE post a pic of the stone when you get it! It is light brown with a hint of green, so I'm curious if it's a MPD!

i vote for pear sides as well!

Jelly, what an wonderful and unusual choice!  I'm assuming this is to be a right-hand ring, not an engagement ring... correct? Your diamond should make a fabulous ring.

I must admit, I'm always trying to get the most finger "coverage" for the ct size.  If you like the style, I think the diamond is perfectly sized for a dynamite halo style ring. It would be extremely elegant... very subtle color surrounded by colorles stones.  Maybe some rose gold prongs around the center stone and white gold or platinum around everything else. Although, with this color stone maybe you'd want yellow gold around the diamond? I think you'd get a LOT of bling for the buck, so to speak (and a gorgeous piece of jewelry to boot)!

I LOVE the baguette suggestion. Also, I don't know what size your hands are, or what type of budget you will eventually have, but I think a three-stone ring would be most impressive with two colorless side stones, about the same size as the center stone (when you are rich and famous and budget is no option).   If the stones are all nearly the same size, and you keep the setting low, I think the overall look will be more band-like, rather than engagement-ring-like – we did something similar with the ring David recently had made for me, and I love it. I can wear it with jeans to the barn or out on a special occasion and it ALWAYS looks suitable for what I'm doing AND looks great.  But then, you may want to set it all high.  Or, maybe some colored stones for accents instead of colorless?  The weird part about this layout would be that, most likely, you'll spend more on the same-size side stones than you did for the center stone.  It wouldn't bother me, but it is a little wierd for some folks.

Oh, gee, it may be too ERsih, but what about the setting like the one on Gemstruck's marquise? Snoop do you ahve a photo?  I think there's another ring with the same setting featured on the DBL website as well.

What fun you'll have with this stone... the possibilities are endless! And, no matter what you decide, certainly, you will have a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece.

Love love love that setting!  I'd like an RB or a cushion in that setting some day. 

What about a yellow gold bezel setting?  Might bring out the warmth of the stone and make it look bigger.  Something like this?

OOH.. if it is a RHR... I like the bezel too!

MPD= Multi personality diamond, like KK's oval halo

What about this with a pink bezel?

For real! 

GIA Girl, that is a beautiful ring with a brown diamond! WOW!

Trinkette I love that halo with the yellow gold prongs!!  So many choices...so little money. 

I will start saving in my "diamond fund" for this setting.  I was hoping not to spend more on the setting than on the diamond itself ($500) just on principal.  But those settings are definitely droolworthy!

I love antique looks, halos, three stones, solitaires, etc.  I don't want anything too trendy...rather something that I will still love in 20 years and have others say..."oh that's so 2008!"

I'm not too klutzy nor physically active with my hands.  I plan on wearing this ring 24/7!  I like the look of bezels, but I also like looking at my diamonds from the side angle.  I have a halo pendant that I love, but I prefer rings because I can stare at it all day long! lol 

I have large hands.  My right hand ring finger is size 9, but my fingers are on the longer side.  I DO envy you size 6's and below! 

Jelly, very cool diamond!  I really love the halo for a RHR.  I recently bought a radiant MPD from David and it is set in a white gold halo.  It looks awesome!  (No pics yet - I am having a terrible time with my camera)
