GORGEOUS! Coming from someone who has a VC Emilya I have to say I puffy heart LOVE the changes you made to the orginal version!!! The second row of pave is just swoon worthy and I love how your OEC fits into the cushion halo. Honestly just stunning! I think this is my favorite version so far!!!!!!!!

Thank you!! I will admit that I was nervous to be experimental in any way after my past experiences, and I was super anxious about the second row of melee while I was waiting for the ring to be completed. I didn't love any other examples that I found online, which definitely didn't help the escalating panic in my head. In the end though, Victor delivered an amazing product - and then some! Never doubt the master!! :lol:

Just STUNNING!!! It is gorgeous (and it was in the last setting, too, tee hee!) but this is spectacular and I'm so glad that YOU are happy with it!! It is perfect on your hand - it is so delicate and well executed that it just seems so elegant on you!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful ring and the pics --- enjoy!!!

(and get that baby out in the SUNLIGHT!!! we need fire and sparkle pics!!) :lickout:

LOL, believe me - I am trying! This cloud cover is really great for the detail shots, but I definitely plan to capture the sparkle as soon as the sun decides to show its face again!! I'm also going to take a video, because I know that those were super helpful when I was going through all of this!

Oooo! I am SO happy to hear you have finally found a setting that you find nothing wrong with! lol! I have yet to get to that point, but it must feel exhilirating to be at that point!! I don't think u should feel any shame at all in sharing your changes here on PS because I think we are all looking/searching/dreaming for that forever setting and I can understand it is hard to find it without having worm it for awhile and then finding out later that it just isn't "IT"! We can't necessarily predict we will love it even though we think we will!

This new Emilya is for sure soo delicate, blingy, gorgeous! *sigh* DREAMY! :love: :love:

Congratulations! Wear it in good health! Stare at it, admire it! May it bring you lots and lots of happiness!! Looking very beautiful on your hand! Also, the spacer is an amazing touch!!

That is so sweet - thank you! Yes, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I'm so glad that I could share the process with all of you guys. I was starting to feel like the boy who cried "wolf!" there for a while, but I'm so relieved to know that I'm truly done now - for real this time! :lol:

Beautiful, of course! I am glad you have your dream setting.

Do you mind sharing why you shied away from this style the first time around?

Here are two perspective shots from my phone that show a more realistic scale.

Honestly, it was just an impulsive decision that took me in a completely different direction. I wanted the Emilya for the longest time, and one day I headed over to the jewelry district in Downtown LA to see Victor. Before I got there, I decided to pop into Single Stone on a whim, and they showed me the original setting that I purchased from them. I thought it was beautiful, unique and addressed many of the concerns I had with the Emilya (specifically, would the color of my stone contrast with the melee stones used on a diamond halo?). I also got excited about the idea of having a ring unlike any that I had seen before.

As I mentioned in my original post about that setting, the face of the ring looked quite different from the sample ring, but at that point my money was already tied into Single Stone. I considered applying my credit toward a pendant or earrings so I could move onto the Emilya for my ring, and looking back, that's obviously what I should have done. Guilt took over though, and I felt that I should really use the money already spent on another Single Stone setting. Don't get me wrong - their pieces are truly gorgeous and unique, and I would recommend them to anyone, but at the end of the day I knew in my heart what I really wanted.

I've spent a lot of time being frustrated at myself for straying from my original plan, but in the end I'm glad that I did. I adore the recut of my stone, and it's not something I would have ever considered if I didn't stop into Single Stone that day. I would also go back to Single Stone in a moment to have other pieces created, so I'm glad that I have the relationship with them. Their team is truly one of a kind! I just wish I made the decision to move on after the first setting, because then I'd have an amazing pendant or some other piece of gorgeous jewelry rather than an extra setting that I now have to sell. You live and you learn!

Oh wow!

There should be a thirteenth commandment....'thou should not covet thy other Pricescopers Scrumptious Emylia'

I have the Emylia halo as well and adore it, but this version is divine.
I'm having one of those 'wished I'd thought of it first' moments :love: :wink2:

Congratulations, it's just gorgeous and still so truly delicate. I don't think that Victor is capable of making anything that isn't just divine.

I think you could convert your SS halo into a pendant. WOuld be divine. If you can't get enough selling it I mean.

I'm so glad the ring turned out so beautifully for you! You're right, in the close-ups it looks large, but on your hand it looks perfect - very dainty & delicate. What a gorgeous ring! I'm looking forward to seeing the full set.

What other settings?? This one blows the other ones out of the water. Really can't go wrong with an Emilya!!!! Your old cut looks perfectly at home in this setting, I think the delicacy of his pave work is what makes it work together really well.

PS I love your classic RM! Is that the MAC or the mini?

Ah, a fellow purse lover! It's the mini - my go to errand bag! :D

Thank you for the compliments!!

Very beautiful! Makes me want a halo, but first I need a bigger diamond :naughty:

I happen to also like your top! I generally find hooded sweatshirts too bulky but that looks nice and thin. What brand is it? Thanks!!
