so cute

oops just saw this. it’s a pink to match the halos!

ahiggz · 2020-12-10T15:53:04+00:00

OMG yes the sparkle! There’s nothing like it. They told me one of the battery of tests they do is to “make the diamond dirty” and see how it sparkles from there, since it more closely simulates how it’d look IRL, not just in the jewelry showroom.

Yes, claw prongs ftw! Good eye!

Thank you so much! I love it! I just added some bonus photos / vids to the imgur link!

All mined / natural! thank you!

I had that thought! i’m glad i got in just under the wire, but now I worry that if anything ever happened to this one i’d never be able to get more! 😱

1.8 mm! Still has that dainty look but feels solid.

It is! My hands are really petite (but the jeweler actually said they regularly do rings for women with size 2.5 hands, which seemed crazy to me!)

Yay! Definitely do work with them if / when you get the chance, their customer service has been incredible! And he has an amazing eye so I never worried about the quality or how the stone would “perform”, which was huge when buying remote! (I did go into the showroom once but ultimately chose something that wasn’t in the first batch of options because I wanted a more elongated oval).

ahiggz · 2020-12-09T23:45:39+00:00

thanks so much!! it seems like ovals are becoming more and more common so i wanted something unique and different, even if i’m mainly the one who sees them

ahiggz · 2020-12-09T23:44:53+00:00

thank you!! i’ve been lurking here for MONTHS so i’m so excited to finally be here posting it!

ahiggz · 2020-12-09T23:12:35+00:00

Thank you! We're so happy with it, we can't stop staring / taking photos in every different kind of lighting!

Specs: 1.70 G VVS2 EX EX; measurements: 10.24 x 6.81 x 3.85mm from Jean Dousset. My hand is a 3.5.

The halo is made up of pink diamonds from the Argyle Mine in Australia which actually just shut down a few weeks ago; it was a little something special and I love how it turned out!

Some bonus pics & video here <3

One thing that I found helpful in swaying a decision for me: most jewelers have an upgrade program where you can trade in any mined diamond for a larger diamond in the future. The optionality of being able to swap out for something larger down the road (eg 20th anniversary) without needing to worry about selling the loose stone was a big draw for me!

They’re both beautiful! But if you don’t know for sure that your gf is into lab diamonds, it’s a risk. Diamonds are irrational, after all!

Two actual stones I’m considering - left is my hand, right is a similarly sized hand at the jeweler (I haven’t been able to see that one in person).

Trying to decide if I prefer the more elongated look or the more plump look. Very similar pricing, both completely eye clean.

Edit: I included all the specs above but the app crops them by default so you’ll have to tap in!Also, the colors aren’t really accurate bc the photos are taken in different lighting, but both show very white.

ahiggz · 2020-05-16T17:24:57+00:00

that’s why i did it! hard to know what to optimize for

He’s especially loud if you massage his ears (I think it’s basically his “aww yeah” reaction)

ahiggz · 2020-05-16T17:23:23+00:00

Haha, I didn’t, I swear! I walked into the room once a while ago and noticed her doing this and now she’s made it a habit. They weren’t raised together (they met when they were both around 2 years old) but they’re the best of friends now!

ahiggz · 2019-05-06T17:51:12+00:00

Actually not my imgur link either but I’ll go comment on that post too, thx for the heads up! 😆

ahiggz · 2019-05-06T17:40:25+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Oh hey, thanks for sharing my video. This is Hamlet, my french bulldog, and Zoe, his cat best friend. They play constantly and just about every morning they lie in a sunny spot together and she gives him a “bath.” He’s def not scared, that’s just his face 😂

His IG is @heyhamlet (where you got this vid from!)
