the NOVO

i told my boyfriend last night that i found the most perfect ring EVER. i saw the ads on the new yorker and also on the new issue of martha stewart wedding magazine. i didn't have the guts to tell him that it's from tiffany's. i just told him the name of the ring, NOVO. i hope he's smart enough to google "the perfect ring" and see what it is. it'd be nice to get this ring from him but i'm happy to have find that there is something different out there besides the usual briliant round cut. thanks for brightening my day tiffany!

styledash put it perfectly:
"The Tiffany Novo is a solitaire set in four prongs. The center stone is a slightly squared cushion cut with a unique faceting to give it an updated look. The platinum shank is also laden with small pavé diamonds. As one of the posters on the Purse Forum board mentioned the diamond cut looks to be the same cut as the Square H & A. It's a nice compromise between a round brilliant and the princess cut which has sharper edges and can lack the fire of a round."

also, i found this on the wedding bee:
"What differentiates Tiffany Novo from typical cushion cuts is that it is brilliant versus modified brilliant. Tiffany worked at great length to create a cushion cut diamond that features the standard round brilliant facet arrangement. It’s been cut to maximum brilliance, ie. same number of facets as a round brilliant cut. The shank is bead set with 16 round melee diamonds."

one can only dream! (i also told d that i'd be happy with anything he gave me. i trust his good judgement but really, i'd be happy with anything!)
