I must admit, it took me twice as long to write this intro because I kept scrolling down the post to admire this stunning ring with a vintage setting which belongs to a newly engaged San Francisco bride. The center stone is a highly sought after Hearts and Arrows Diamond, famous for its perfect symmetry and kaleidoscopic pattern. When viewed from above, the pattern is a series of eight gray arrowheads. From below, the pattern appears as eight heart shapes. Also known as the "cupid effect" and the "super ideal cut", a Hearts and Arrows diamond is just so fun to look at. A perfect diamond indeed it is, and it is accompanied by a gorgeous, delicate vintage style setting.
Cut: Round Brilliant – Hearts & Arrows
Carat: 1.02 (Center Stone), 1.7 carats total
Setting: Platinum, Scott Kay – Vintage Crown Setting with two round brilliant side stones
Jeweler: Steve Padis, San Francisco
An Engagement Story (as told by the groom): "My fiance was back home with her family over Christmas. I flew back on December 28, 2009 to be with them and enjoy a belated Xmas and a happy New Year's Eve. On December 29, 2009, upon receiving her father's blessing, we took a drive along the New Jersey Shore and came to a social club where her parents are members. I tricked her into going out on the pier at the club where I proposed to her on a beautiful December day on the Atlantic Ocean (it was cold and windy, but gorgeous out). Our relationship started in San Francisco on the Pacific, and our engagement began on a pier over the Atlantic."
