Well, that's a whole lot of crushed ice...it's beautiful Ptymom!  Congratulations...wear it good health!  

Very, very pretty!

So beautiful!!  It really looks fantastic on the hand!  I am so glad you finally have the ring in your hand.  I hope you wear it in great health

Thanks everyone! i´m really enjoying it 

I wore it out to dinner last night and one of my good friends, a guy who thinks he knows everything (and to be honest, pretty much does) asked me what kind of stone it was. When I told him it was a yellow diamond, he said there was no such thing. That there was only one, which was huge and housed at a museum.  He must´ve gotten home to do his research because this morning he texted me "Nice Canary!"

Funny how most people have never heard of colored diamonds. I guess that makes us special.  lol

It's wonderful! Looks much more yellow than just a fancy light! Congrats

  I bet this is one EVERYONE sees (and covets) from across the room. And, I KNOW the gold feels luscious on your hand. Congratulations.

Wow, is that stunning!

I really like the contemporary feel of this ring. Beautifully done.

Is it me or does the handshot make it look like a completely different ring? It looks so different from a distance--- like looking at a painting.

Truly a work of art PtyMom.

You´re both very right. The ring does look very different when it´s on the hand and not in a super macro shot. Yellow gold is very difficult to photgraph, the high polish creates a lot of light reflection and the rounded edges of the ring cause a lot of refraction. Some photos come out almost warped. I would say the bezel is very delicate looking. I haven´t been able to caputre this in the pictures. The split shank, from a distance, doesn´t really look like a split shank at all. It looks rather, more like a wide solid band that tapers down the sides. What you see from a distance, is a lot of yellow. It´s very understated. it doesn´t scream diamond at all. When the light is low the color of the diamond blends in with the surrounding yellow. Both diamond and metal are sparkly but you´d have to be at arms length to really see what you´re looking at.  When the sun is bright, the diamond turns a bright glorious yellow and the gold just pales in comparison.

It really, is a beautiful, beautiful piece. I think it´s perfect. I don´t think it´s for everyone but it´s certainly a great match for me. My husband says it looks like a Queen´s ring  He has certainly admired it a lot for someone who doesn´t care much for jewelry!

Next ring? The pink flower? You´re really doing it?? Hope so!!! It looked so perfect on your hand!

Ummm Squigs, do you have a confession to make?

    I'm so glad it's you!  Will you be able to wear it right away or is it going into your "gift closet" ?
