MRB Reset - Victor Canera Emilya

[mns12]

First, I’m so grateful to all the wonderful PSers for helping me learn so much in my reset journey! I luckily stumbled across this site when my original ER solitaire broke and I googled “halo or solitaire”. I was very close to purchasing a Tacori halo setting but kept coming back to the Victor Canera Emilya. I was very hesitant to purchase something for that type of investment without seeing the ring in person, but the PS community helped me with my final decision. I read and re-read so many threads. A big thanks to Frankie, Soxfan, and Susimoo whose threads and pictures ultimately helped me make my final decision. I was VERY torn on the cushion halo or round halo and decided on round and it is gorgeous!! A very small part of me still wonders about the cushion halo but I think I’ll save that for a RHR with a sapphire!

Center diamond is 1.51 ct and my ring size is 4.375, although I think I’m closer to a 4 or even smaller but my darn knuckle prevents me from going much smaller. So since it’s colder now the ring is starting to spin, which drives me crazy, but I don’t think there is much I can do about it

So, here she is! Thanks Victor!!

Oh my goodness how beautiful!! You must be beyond thrilled to have this on your finger! VC's settings are so perfect, I love the Emilya and it looks fabulous on you!

I have the same issue as you...my ring is 4.25, I could go smaller but then will be so hard to get over my knuckle, and my hands swell a bit in warm weather...the weather has just gotten cool here and my ring is already spinning like crazy and driving me absolutely nuts, and winter hasn't even started! Some people use sizing balls to help with this, I've also seen a horseshoe insert - I've resorted to using those plastic snuggie ring sizers you can get at Claire's or Walmart...far from perfect, but a quick fix for now and at least my ring stays put.

Thanks Junebug! I've enjoyed reading your posts, as well as arkieb1, diamondseeker2006, and mom2boys. I'm telling you..this site has become quite an obsession..my hubby isn't too happy I stumbled across it

I already have a list for Christmas

Thanks for the info...I will have to look into some type of solution to help with the ring spinning b/c not sure I can take it all winter.
I'm not sure if I will eventually get a spacer/matching band and if that would help?? My current WB is a 15 pointer eternity so that looks ridiculous with the new ring

Another beauty from Victor - congrats on your new ring! It is lovely. I think a wedding band of some sort might help ground the ring a bit to help spinning issue.

Enjoy!

Thanks! I will have to go try some delicate bands on to get a feel.

It's gorgeous! Well chosen!

Another idea for the spinning problem - eat a cheesecake! just kidding of course. A band will likely help. Have you seen SB's stack when she had her 2ct Emilya? It's my favorite combination. She had a matching pave band, a tiny platinum spacer and a sapphire and diamond eternity in alternating marquise shapes and round. Stunning!

It's beautiful!! Congrats on the reset!

Another beauty by Victor! Your ring is stunning from every angle and your center stone pops!!!
A few small bands might help to prevent the spinning or perhaps you could have sizing beads added by a local jeweller.

Don't forget to post your beauty here: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/post-your-victor-canera-beauties-here.175281/page-3/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/post-your-victor-canera-beauties-here.175281/page-3/[/URL]

Thank you
Funny you should say that b/c I had cheesecake for desert at dinner last night. That or I can just move to somewhere tropical where the heat swells my fingers

I have seen SB's stack (about 20 times and do love it!! I had already put a sapphire (my birthstone) and diamond stacker on my xmas list but was also thinking I could stack with my WB eternity on RH. But I can play around and see what works and what I like best on my hands.

How were the first 5 days with your ring mns
Don't you just enjoy it to the max!!! It's just a perfect design and center stone. Have you received any reactions outside PS?

Wonderful All VERY positive reactions so far! My mother-in-law asked me if it was 3 or 4 carats lol! Now granted she is not a diamond or jewelry person. My sister said it looks like I just got engaged. And I have found myself wanting to wear an eternity band with it some days..I would at least like the option. So that will be my next project. I'm not sure if I feel like spending the $2k + for VC since I already have and love my 15 point WB eternity...but not sure if I can find something that can hold up to the Emilya for much cheaper??

 

[AVCadmirer]

This is just perfection!!! I never get tired of seeing this design...Victor is without a doubt a pave god and next year I am planning on working with him. I do love the look of the matching eternity band, perhaps I should get that instead of the 10 pointer now to go with my soon to be here ering, so Im not in the same predicament. Goodluck with your decision perhaps make it for your next birthday gift.

Very pretty. Thanks for great photos!

 

[Rockredo]

So gorgeous! Are you wearing bands with it? Or are you wearing in the RH? I think it's so beautiful it could clearly holds it's own. Just curious to see what it looks like with bands and the donut, thanks! Congrats!
