I am going to over load you with pictures!!! I hope you don't mind.

Stats:

Right hand ring 8mm BTD custom cut lemon yellow OMC sapphire and two unenhanced 5mm OEC moissanites set in a three stone ring from Poppyseed. David Klass set both rings and I requested claw prongs and he did a great job. Love it!

E-ring 8mm OEC unenhanced moissanite set in another setting from Poppyseed with gorgeous double claw prongs made by David Klass. This stone has SO much fire and is gorgeous! Most of the time it is a nice vanilla/egg shell color. In some of these pictures it shows it being whiter then it actually is. I would call it an L for color grading. It puts off lots of beautiful pastel colors. Just love it so much.

The ring the e-ring is paired with is my great grandmother's antique diamond band that David also sized for me. This is the first time I have been able to wear it because it was sized to a 4 before and I am a 7.

This will be a RHR but I couldn't use my camera that way, so it is shown on my left hand.

Sorry about the last picture having a little black string under the claws. I didn't notice it until after the photos were edited.

This picture is for perspective and for those of you who like tattoos. LOL

Ginger!!
I just adore them all!!

What is YOUR fave??

*sits in front of the computer screen in awe* Lovely, simply lovely. They are both so gorgeous, and how wonderful you can finally wear your great grandmother's band! ^_^

They are BOTH stunning!!....Both rings are Just Beautiful!!..:-))))))

They are just stunning Ginger ! Enjoy !! Love the antique diamond band from your grandmother , it is so wonderful to have a ring with a family history .

Ooh lalav!

Beautiful nails too!.. Love the color!..:-)))

Oh thank you thank you thank you all!!!

I have to say I do love them all but my favorite is the 8mm OEC solitaire. It's amazing. Truly, it looks just like an antique diamond that has a nice cut. It has great depth and I can't get over the pastel colors it throws off!

Wow they both look great set with your stones!!!!

Thanks Poppy! I just love the settings from you! Thanks for making them!

They are both beautiful!

Thank you MrsK!

BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing your new rings!! Also - I love the hand shots (and the tattoos ) - they look great!

Both are lovely! The OEC is gorgeous...and it is perfect with your grandmother's band. I can't get over the moissy OEC's. *swoon*

oh so pretty! I'm loving that yellow!

Both rings are amazing!!! Your double claw OEC is on my wishlist.

Congrats!

Absolutely beautimous!!! I love the full sun shots!!

I just love my rings. They have mad sparkle! Thank you all so much for the ring love! I don't have many people to show these to who would appreciate them as much as my sparkly sisters!

I love both of them!! I love the sapphire, the color is just gorgeous!! The size of the stones in the 3 stone are perfect! Perfect finger coverage. I have to admit, that the unenhanced moissy has my heart though! I love the simplicity of the setting and the double claw prongs are compliment the stone so nicely.

ETA: I forgot to mention that I also love your tattoos!! Your sleeve looks awesome! Is it traditional? The rose sort of looks like that style. Traditional is my fave!

Wishing, thanks! I wish I could capture the yellow sapphire better. Its prettier in person.

That part of my arm is more traditional. Its a light pink sewing machine with some other things, though the whole thing isn't quite finished yet. The roses are grey shaded..the only grey shaded on my whole body actually!

I always tell everyone that I love hearts and I just realized that I have four different heart tattoos! LOL The red one on my arm that you can see in the picture, the zombie style broken heart being sewn back together on my left elbow, one on my inside of my wrist on my left arm for my hubby and he has the same one, and my chest piece is a big sugar skull madame butterfly with a upside heart shaped nose..she has eye lashes too.

Anyway..totally off topic..sorry!!

LOVE ginger! Both of those turned out so perfectly!!

Thank you jcent!

I love this forum! I would be wearing ugly rings..okay maybe not ugly but not as nice rings, if it weren't for BTD and all of the great knowledge from you ladies!

And you would be a whole lot richer. LOL!

Hahaha maybe but maybe not. I probably would have spent that money on something else!

Wicked! Love the rings and the tats!

WOW and MmmMMmmM

Both are lovely Ginger! Enjoy!

Thanks Amelie, Babyangelbling, and Sukie!

I am wearing them both today. I want to change my nail polish to something that compliments them both. I am crazy. LOL

I love your grandmothers band. The old paired with the new is a lovely sentiment.

All the rings look awesome on. The three stone is my fave, I need it in my life! Congrats on all the new bling!!!

Thank you astin!

Ginger - I love both of them especially the three stone. The stones look great in there, and DK did a great job on your prongs! Congrats

Thank you! He did, he did!! I love them!

Beeeautiful on you, Ginger! You are officially sparkle-icious!

Have you seen her??
She is SO cute, unique and adorable!!

Eeee gads ginger! Those are fantastic!! Your grandmothers band looks like it was SUPPOSED to be with that solitaire. Just lovely, and congrats on your new beautiful pieces

I Love them all and that sapphire 3 stone came out really gorgeous!

Thanks Cricket! I love my sparkles!

Aww thanks Kanga!

Thanks Mama and Lovemesomerocks!

I have something new in the works that will be the last ring of the year for me! haha It involves antique diamonds, 5 of them..and a halo. Booyah! LOL



What do you guys think of this combo with my light pink diamond band? I really like it! The pinks look more pinky in person..like a beautiful light blush pink!

They are all simply lovely!! I like the solitaire with your grandmother's ring the best, but all are beautiful! I hope your flower OMC ring will still get some attention. That is one of my favorites on here.

Little_Bit Firstly, thank you! I tend to rotate rings most days. I am sure that ring will still be worn, as I do love it too! I might replace the asha OMC with a diamond at some point, but I do love the asha OMC in there as well.

That is a great stack. I love the pink band.

It's only June! I think I don't believe you, Ginger.

Thanks Lorrissey! I love pink so much.

Hadley, LOL..I will be selling a lot of the rings that I have right now though. I am only going to keep what I super duper love and wear all the time and the rest are going up on DB. The ring I am making is going to be fab. I don't know for certain yet that I will do the halo in pinks, but I want to. It all depends on what I can get that fits in my budget. This is my inspiration ring but it will have the center diamond with an elongated antique cushion 1.25ct set east/west and then smaller ACCs on the sides like this.

I love them all, but that solitaire...WOW!!! FIREEEE!!!!

Thanks Spaz! Yes, the fire is unbelievable on the OEC! Its mesmerizing to look at and definitely beautiful.

Love all of these!! Gorgeous! You are adorable GKB!!

Gorgeous gorgeous rings, those double claw prongs are incredible!

Aww thanks btrflai!

Here is a not super great video of the yellow sapphire/moissy OEC ring. It was done at night with over head kitchen lighting. I did my best for now!

Thank you dawny! Yes David did a really great job on the claws!

I made this video tonight at Target! I just had to..the lighting was killer for mad sparkle action!

soooo pretty , thankyou for the " sparkle action "

How many people looked at you funny for doing this in the Target store? I love it. Target is one of the best. I've found that I enjoy Home Depot one notch better.

A friend got her first Moissanite a couple months ago. The first time she went to Target in it, she called me from the store to tell me about it... as if I didn't already know.

Last year my dad had back surgery and the elevator of the hospital wing he was in was like nothing I'd ever seen in my decade-plus of wearing Moissanite. I don't want him to have surgery again, but I admit that in the back of my mind I've thought that if he does, I'm bringing my camera for that elevator. I am a terrible daughter!!!

Ha! I was waiting for my decaf latte from the Starbucks inside of Target and was trying to be really discrete about it but there was one lady sitting down at a table that was giving me a bit of a strange look, wondering why I was moving my hand around like that. haha

That is too funny Hadley!

I love your ring!! And you always find the best lighting in the weirdest places. My work bathroom lighting is AMAZING for my rings. It's funny how often I just stand in there and stare at my hands.

Lorrissey, totally true!! Now, you live close by me. Do people ever ask you about your rings? People never ask me about mine! It seems like in this area of the world, people find it rude to ask and ogle your rings. Its kind of weird. Like I will notice someone's ring and want to ask them about it but I stop myself because it feels weird to me.

You know the only people who ask me about my rings are jewelers while I'm browsing.

I constantly stop other women to tell them how much I love their ring. I don't grab their hand or anything or ask any details. If I'm compelled to say anything, it's just something like "holy crap, your ring is amazing. you're a lucky lady." Sometimes they respond with the details or where/how they got it, but I definitely never ask those type of questions.

Most of the time they're eager and excited to tell me all about it.

After I said that, some of the mom's on the playground at school asked me about my new moissy OEC ring! LOL

They said it was beautiful. I just said it was an old european cut antique stone. I didn't specify which kind of stone. I just said that I loved it. They think its a diamond. I am okay with that. haha

Sorry ladies but I am obsessed!!! LOL I took some more outdoor pictures with indirect lighting today and a new video! I paired the OEC with my light pink diamond eternity band alone and love the look of it.



*eww ewww ewwwwwww...I just noticed that in the first few pictures there is someone's random hair stuck to my claw prongs!!! Its not mine, as mine is not black.

And the video

Ginger, your latest rings are the bestest!

I love them both sooooooo much; very much my style!

I want one of each of them one day

Thanks Kat!! I cannot wait to see your e-ring!!! I am going to be drooling! When will you be getting it?

hahahahaha @ the hair. In the first pic, I thought something was on my screen, but then I saw it in the second pic too. Gross for sure, but funny.

Anyway, love the new pics and video.

Its funny that I am a hairstylist but super grossed out by hair that is unattached to the head!! LOL

My rings need names!

Ginger!!!! I just now saw the videos!!!! OMG. I think you have turned me into an OEC lover!!! You say thats not enhanced? It looks so beautiful and I love the large flashes of sparkle!

That's right, unenhanced and gorgeous!!:) Its like a light vanilla sometimes and a bit ivory sometimes. I just love it.

two home runs!! love them!

Thanks MrsB!

Ginger,
I'm a newbie who is looking for an antique cut stone, and WOW, your rings are gorgeous!! Would you say you prefer the OEC moissy over the Asha OMC in terms of performance? I was debating between those two (not even sure I could get my hands on an Asha OMC right now) but the moissy would be more expensive, so I want to be sure. Your pics are incredible, and have possibly convinced me that the moissanite is the way to go. I also love the pink band, btw! Would you mind sharing info on that as well?

no clue on name ideas, I am not good at that... But I hear you on the hair. I don't like hair or nail clippings.

I just can't get over the lovely vanilla warmth! aahhh! *swoon*

you can call the OEC moissy "warm vanilla sugar/WVS" and Sugar/Shugga for short haha..! I'm terrible at coming up with names.

You lucky gal! These are such beautiful rings!! Is it me or are the 5mm oecs really white-do they look that white IRL?

Rowen, Gosh...the OMC sparkles closer to a diamond. The OEC has more sparkle and fire. I guess it just depends on what you are after. I love the color of the OEC. I still love the color of OMC, but the OEC more. I like that moissanite is a gemstone and more durable over time. The sparkle is just incredible on the OEC. You can get an OMC Asha from Jewels By Erica Grace. They sell them and that is where I got mine.

Bethany, maybe Vanilla Sparkle Fire...lol it sounds like something my 5yr old dd would come up with.

Emerald, Thanks!! I am very very lucky. They are very white and especially compared to the yellow sapphire! I think it makes them look more white that way.

Oooo maybe Disco Ball??? haha

Sugar Sparkle??

Oh and I forgot to say where I got the pink diamond band. I got it here and I love it! It was a great price!

Thanks so much Ginger for your honest opinions. I think I would like the OEC more, as well. I'm a sucker for the pastel colors and fire. Your pictures of that stone really impressed me. Thanks so much for the link to the pink diamond band as well. You are a sweetheart!

I love the pastel colors and fire as well! I am so glad I could help you make a decision.

ooOOo Sugar Sparkle!

Looking at your OEC solitaire photos on page 7...

I think of cut crystalware and leaded/stained glass and I think of terms like...
Waterford
Suncatcher
Prism-something

I think of Victorian Europe things like:
Victoria
Her Ladyship
Downton Abbey (the current BBC series)
Something-Ginger-ish Manor/Gardens/Palace

I think of food like:
Buttercup
Cheesecake
Spun sugar
Carmelized something-or-other
'Nilla Wafer (that's down to earth, huh?)

I think of art terms like:
Ethereal
Ephemera

I think of the long black hair and say:
Harold

Ginger I just love your rings together, wow what a rock! Beautiful...you know, except for the hair. LOL

oh my gosh Ginger! I hope you don't mind, I just bought one too... it was SO affordable!!! eeeek!

Vanilla Ice. Come on, it's perfect! :)) never mind the singer Vanilla Ice. He no longer goes by that. ;P

Hadley, thank you for posting all of those suggestions! It made me have an idea actually. What about Prisma?

Olive, I know that hair is killing me! LOL

Essaince, Mind!? No, I think everyone should get it! I love mine!

Flash, LOL I am not sure I could say that name without laughing my butt off every time.

oOo! Prisma is pretty. like prisma color pencils and markers and stuff...

I'm supposed to receive the band on friday!! I CAN'T WAIT! ACCK lol there's should be a category in the forums called "bargain deals" so we can post all the great deals we find... just a thought.

Well, it's not as classy as Harold after the errant stranger's hair... but it's a wonderful second choice.

I like Prisma!!! It sounds like it could be a girls name, feminie and pretty, but so fitting for your stone.

Not available in my size. bummer.

I knew a cat named Prisma.

In love again! I so want one of those OECs!

Oh bummer!!! What size are you? Can you resize?

I just got mine... Ginger, can you post pics of the pink band only? I have it next to my D diamond, and the little stones are super white...

Oh no bummer! Mine are faint pink but not white. Here are pictures I took with comparison to a pink cz band and colorless diamonds. Maybe you got a dud? I mean, mine are not super pink by any means but they are a faint blush pink. http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/..._Com#Post687153

I don't even think mine is faint pink. LOL I have it between my D diamond and my F/G bezel eternity...and it's holding it's own pretty good. LOL I might just order another one to "see" if it's the same I'll return one or both. i do like it though. super sparkly

In some lighting they look more pink and in some less pink. The rose gold really helps enhance the pinks.

okay...this is what I was able to get on camera:






I don't see the blush in person, and not really in the pictures either, I purposely put other rosegold/pink sapphire next to it. What do you all think?

In the first pic, I can almost see pink, but in the others they do look very white, like the same as the stones in the bezel.

I would write them and tell them that you want to exchange it for the pinkest diamonds they have in their stock.

I believe mine is more pink. What do you think jcent?

In yours, I actually SEE the blush. but this one is pretty white. it's obvious in low light b/c it's SUPER sparkly and WHITE! lol I'll think about it. I can't afford to get the bezel made in pink gold AND pink diamonds...

Yours does look more pink Ginger. It is light, but you can see pink. Essaince's really looks white in the pics. To my eyes anyway. Even setting white melee into rose gold generally makes the melee look pink in some lighting.

This ring for example is white melee...but looks pink



and here it looks white, especially in the basket



So you should really see pink in all lighting...or you may as well just pay for white stones because they will look pink "sometimes" too.

yes...and you know what? this pink gold is pretty friggin' pink.lol so i'm baffled that the diamonds are so white. but this ring is seriously SOOOOOO sparkly. considering the price, i'm wondering if i just want to keep it anyway. the diamonds seem to be good color/quality/cut- if i believe that they are white. LOL

if you like it for what it is, and the price is ok for white stones, then I would keep it. Sorry it isn't more pink though!

i'm actually not sure what a good price would be for a half eternity, 0.25 carat white diamonds, in rose gold... guess?

It depends on the diamond quality. On ebay they are going for $200 ish.

these are really nice. lol they are super white and SUUUPER sparkly and they are TEENY tiny little things too. I'll call my jeweler tomorrow. if she gives me a discount i'll just get a the bezel made in rose gold. haha

My G/H half eternity band set in u-shaped pave was like $350 I think..in white 14k gold.

thanks ginger. I'll sleep on it...they are super sparkly though which makes this decision harder!! these are not bad stones at all.

Yes I do love how sparkly they are!

Totally stunning. They're GORGEOUS!

Thanks so much Kanilea!!!

Gorgeous!!

Ginger...is THIS the infamous OEC set in unplated WG???? And yes...I love tats...have about 9 myself...lol


This ring is absolutely BREATHTAKING!!!
