What I think I want to do is get this stone:

and put it more or less this ring:

except with a WG bezel around the center stone instead of prongs.

What do you think?  Any suggestions/ideas?  David said that this will have to be done as a custom ring, which I suppose gives us more options (?)

When David gets time, he's going to make me a movie of the center stone, and take a picture of it next to a G or H stone so that I (and most of all DH) can see the tint.  I think that as soon as DH sees those things, he's going to be satisfied, and I can order the dadgum ring!

Which is important because...

This is starting to invade my subconscious.  Last night, I dreamed that I was in David's office, looking at this stone.  I had evidently flown to NYC just for this purpose, and was a little nervous because, this being a dream and all, I hadn't been able to go by the bank or make any other preparations for my trip.  I kept asking David nervously whether the taxis just took cash, thinking of the paltry $40 I have in my wallet :-).

Also, in the dream, the diamond was orange.  And was cut in 1978.  And had been held as evidence because it had been owned by a crack dealer.  Don't know where THAT came from.  Silly subconscious :-).

But in any case, I need your opinions about this diamond in this setting, because my sound sleep is being seriously disrupted!

DJ, seeing your ring is what sold me on the bezel.  I love the clean look of it.

Gorgeous. I LOVE step cuts. And the pink frame? To die for.

Why a bezel instead of prongs? Just curious.

And boy that is a serious subconscious invasion. And to think you it will get better once you order it and start the waiting process! The dreams won't stop but they will turn into fairy princess ones. 

I think it will be beautiful bezel set!  After seeing DJ's ring...that should take all the apprehension out of it!      You will be thrilled when you receive the ring.  You will ask yourself..."now what was I so unsure of"?  I did exactly that once I received my first DBL ring!!   That Asscher is such a nice size for the price!   ~Ronda

I see DJ's is a bezel. I had forgotten that it was. This will be killer and a 2ct in a microsetting should be a substantial ring.

OH FUN!!! I am guessing that the bezel would make the ring lay lower.  Me, CH, Ronda, Rhonda have the prongs, and if I compare our style vs. DJ's, ours seems a bit high, but it's not HIGH like some settings you see. 

Sometimes I wonder if I should have went w/ bezel, but I am in love w/ my ring.  I'll save the bezel for a FUTURE ring! LOL

Can't wait to see the video of the stones!

AND ACEBRUIN??? Where is the pic of your asscher in question!!!!!!!!

It is going to be fantastic!!!  I personally prefer bezels as well in a halo, though many of the lovely ladies here have lovely prong set halos.  My new bezel set halo is coming tomorrow and you will get to see that too!!  This is going to be a stunner Robin!

DJ- Yours is milgrain right? But DJ has a milgrained edge. The bezel is smooth. So many decisions.

That might be overkill.

But then again, it might not.

   It will be so beautifully feminine!   So excited for you!  NOW...here is to w-a-i-t-i-n-g--- which is the hardest part! ~Ronda

If this factory said no, there's a good reason for it. They are really, really good.
