My Mother In-Law's New Diamond Engagement Ring! {Pics!}
Well, my In Law's have been married for almost a quarter century now, and my Mother In Law recently decided to change her diamond engagement ring for an "updated version".
My Mother In Law has impeccable taste (she chose me..;-) and was looking for an engagement ring that would be classic/elegant and showy/substantial at the very same time.
She also wanted something "different" and removed from the classic round center diamond she had been wearing for so many years (her previous engagement ring is a 3 stone "DeBeers" round diamond engagement ring).
I suggested that we create a replica of the famous Tiffany "Legacy", Halo Engagement Ring, set with an Asscher Cut Diamond and came up with a few different mock-ups for her to consider.
In the end, she opted for this exact replica of the original Tiffany engagement ring.
We were working within a specific budget and I offered an outstandingly beautiful Asscher Cut Diamond in a GIA certified 1.50 I SI2. The SI2 inclusions cannot be seen with the naked eye and the I color faces up considerably whiter, as a result of the diamonds' excellent light performance!
The diamond also exhibits a beautiful 'windmill effect", which is quite exquisite in an Asscher Cut diamond.
We decided to manufacture the engagement ring in Palladium, which is becoming an increasingly popular and less expensive alternative to Platinum.
The engagement ring was to be set with hand selected G color VS clarity diamonds, with a total of .50 carats.
I was not overly concerned by the discrepancy between the color of the "I" graded center diamond and the G color surrounding diamond accents, due to the I color's excellent face-up appearance.
Well, we just completed the engagement ring today!
Here is the result!!
I hope she is gonna be happy when she receives this....
Pictures really don't do any justice to the beauty of this ring!

This is a BEAUTIFUL ring! i think the asscher cut diamond with a halo is unique and looks better than the original Tiffany legacy. It's exactly what i have been looking for. I would love this to be my engagement ring (we are currently looking!)
