I have two OEC halo rings, so I decided I wanted a simple solitaire. I asked Caysie to make me a jovyn with petite tab prongs like MSOP's, but with 8 prongs. I love the look of 8 prongs, and my OEC has a thin girdle that has flea bites so I wanted extra protection for it. Then Caysie showed me an old edwardian ring that she loved and had been wanting to make a repro of and asked if I'd rather do that instead. I loved the ring and agreed. Once I got the cad's, I wasn't excited about the tab prongs and we both agreed claw would look better. I just got pics yesterday and will have the ring tomorrow. I'm so excited!

2.28 L VS2
8.54x8.39x5.22
61.6 depth
48% table
finger size 4.5

Thanks! The thing I love most about this setting is all the bands I can stack with it! Currently vacillating back and forth between the catalina, anastasia, and alexandria. :wall: :wall: :wall:

Love ALL of those! My next purchase will be the anastasia! I'm afraid I'd ruin a band with diamonds all the way around... If it weren't for that, I'd do the alexandria. But... you can't go wrong! And you also need an engraved band or nova band to make a nice full set :doh: :doh:

Oh that's beautiful! Really refined and classic but unique and different somehow at the same time. Caysie's one clever lady! Congratulations!

Any of the bands can be made half or three quarters, I believe!

It's so stunning! Not only does your stone look amazing, but the setting is going to flatter it perfectly!

How exciting for you! It's a stunning ring. I love the beautiful flow and proportions: very 'Boston Jeff'. I am looking forward to see your handshots. Caysie did a beautiful job.

OMG this is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see it on your hand!

How do you feel about the L color in platinum? I'm going to commission a stone, and just can not decide what color to shoot for...

And how do you feel about that size stone on you 4.5 finger? I'm also 4.5 - curious to know what size you prefer for daily wear.
