I had to get my original 3-stone ring cut off as I've had to deal with terrible water retention. When they tried to re-size it the jeweler was unable to as there was a defect in the gold used in the original setting. It was really porous and looked like a sponge on the inside. I took this opportunity to have the setting changed as I did not like the profile of the original and the diamonds were set too high. They say "everything happens for a reason". I'm glad it happened as I'm much happier with my new setting.

I do like this much better! Sorry for the medical problem but perhaps every storm cloud does have a silver lining!

Would love to see more pictures!

Oh I bet you are so happy! This is beautiful. I like the detail work on the galley. Sorry you had to go through that but what a beautiful reset!

Thank you everyone for taking the time to look and for your kind comments.

MissGotRocks - thank you. It has been rough lately but minor compared to what others are dealing with. I'll try to post more pictures with a better camera.

Moneymeister, luvsdmb - I'm glad you like the detail on the gallery. I wasn't sure if it was going to be too much. My inspiration ring, which was a much larger 3-stone, actually had small diamonds in the baskets. As my stones were smaller, I tried to incorporate the design with the engraving. This ring was made in Toronto by the same man who made my larger 3-stone. Both rings have different elements from the inspiration ring.

Aprilbaby, Tiger Lily, Acinom, Bonfire -thank you!

For reference, my ring is size 6.5. The center stone is 8.3 mm and the sides are 6 mm. Center is L VS2 and sides are J SI1.

Wow, I love it!! :love: The detailing on the profile is a joy to look at, what a beautiful way to showcase those gorgeous diamonds! I'm really sorry to hear about your health issues and hope things are better for you soon…but this new setting certainly is a silver lining!

Thank you all so much. Hopefully I'll never have to change the setting again.

I've attached a few more pictures (I hope you don't mind).

The profile of your reset is nicer than that of the old setting. Love both the reset and the other larger 3 stone ring :appl:

Thank you all for your positive comments. I really am happy with the way this ring turned out and how it looks on my hand. :appl: :appl:
