I recently received my new rings from BGD and I couldn't be happier. I decided to reset my rings for my 20th anniversary and because I had developed a gold allergy. Here is my original set - very 1993!

Here is the new set. The center stone is uncertified and was recently appraised by Jeff Averbook (fabulous Boston area appraiser, btw) as .78 G SI1. The side stones are from Whiteflash - .65 ctw H VS2. One is ACA and the other is Expert Selection. I bought them in the fall and wore them as studs until I had the funds for the reset. The wedding band is custom and is 2 mm. I debated 2 vs 3 mm and ultimately decided to go with 2 mm because I hope to stack other bands with it later. My ring size is 4.75.

And here is the profile. I asked for the side stones to be angled slightly and it turned out exactly as I had hoped it would.

Thanks so much to the Priscescope community for sharing your expertise and gorgeous photos! Those 3-stone threads were especially helpful in making my decision.

Welcome to PS and congrats on your anniversary!

Your ring turned out beautifully! I love the band you chose as well to go with it as well. Lots of pretty bling going on now!

Congratulations!! This is a really lovely reset. The three stone turned out so well. I think the angle makes a huge difference. Your center stone looks way bigger than .78. Are you sure that's right? Lol!

LOL, it's definitely a .78 6mm 60/60 stone. The funny thing is I think it looks bigger in the 3-stone than it did as a solitaire. I was not expecting that.

Very classy! I agree that your center stone looks bigger than its size.
