FYI, the center stone is 2.48 ct, I-K color (not known exactly) and approximately VS2 clarity. The side stones are sapphires, I forget the total carat weight but can check if anyone''s interested.

A handshot - of course, this is my hand and not my mom''s. She has much longer more elegant fingers than I do. Its also too big for me - its a size 7.5, and my ring finger right now is about a 5-5.5

Gotta love the finger coverage - I think this is pretty much my final dream size and style of e-ring...

OMG, simply stunning. 

I totally got a kick out of wearing this while eating my lunch at work today...I just can''t get over how gorgeous it is. Oh, and I should have said this before - Kudos to Bob and Vera and everyone else at Whiteflash, who were wonderful throughout the entire process of envisioning and creating this beautiful ring

Just one more for now - this is the "official" shot from Whiteflash. They are clearly much more talented photographers than I am...

Beautiful reset AG. I think the new setting really lets the OEC shine!

WOW!!!!  thats a beautiful reset.  heheeeheee...i like how you are wearing it around even though its too big.

Thanks Bizou and LIB. I completely agree LIB - its such a gorgeous stone (these pictures don''t even remotely do it justice) - all those amazing huge chunky facets of rainbows, etc...and it really just needed a simple setting to show how gorgeous it is

NYC - wouldn't you? Actually, it just so happens to fit my middle finger perfectly...

SHUT. UP. !!!!!  That ring is SO SO SO SO SO SO gorgeous!  Man oh man...so stunning.

So WF sourced the sapph pears for you?  I saw that they are sourcing colored stones now for certain projects.  If so, what do you think of them in person?   They look gorgeous flanking that OEC.

If I were you I''d be like, ''Mom, no need to hurry back.  At all.  Anytime soon.''

What a transformation AG!!!!  It''s just stunning!!!  The sapphires really make your Mom''s OEC pop!!!  You''ll have to come back with hand shots of your Mom wearing it once she gets back. 

ok, if I ever did a ring with colored sides, that would be VERY HIGH on my list. it''s just gorgeous, the blue sapphires are amazing and the ring as a whole is just perfect!!

Spectacular remodeling project!!! I just LOVE the new look! You''d better wear it all you can for now, cuz when your Mom sees it - she won''t take it off her hand!!! It''s gorgeous!

I love it! Great choice on remounting with the sapphire side stones, they really showcase the OEC as the main event! LOL

Awww...you guys are really sweet. The choice of design was my mom's but I admit I had a heavy say in the process, and that I'm looking forward to "borrowing" it over the years

FG - I know, I *almost* wish her vacation were longer, but then again, I feel like the longer I have it the harder it will be to part with... But it is SO AMAZING. The saph pears were sourced by WF, and I think they are very nice. They sent us pictures of a couple of pairs to choose from - I actually preferred a more slender set with lighter blue color, but these were a better size and mom preferred the really dark blue. I would say go for it if you want them to source something like that for you

Lisa and MrsS - it really is just breathtaking. When I got the picture from WF yesterday it literally took my breath away Lisa, I'll see what I can talk my mom into - she's a bit self-conscious about her hands, although I think they are lovely.

Rockcandy - I agree, I am going to have enough trouble parting with it as it is!!

Posh - thanks so much, and I totally agree - this stone really needed a setting where it could be the star that it is

AG- Love it!!

Also, are you going to post update shots of your gorgeous set???

It''s gorgeous!  Yay for having it for a week while your mom''s on vacation!  PLEASE bring that ring on Saturday!  I''ve love to see it in person! 

I have no words.  That ring is beyond beautiful.  I just love the side sapphire pears.  I just love the double prongs.  The reset really is perfect.

Lovely! That last setting was, uh, a little bit scary. Funny thing is, the first setting makes the stone look huge. I cant imagine why though. Do you know what size the center stone is? It looks lovely in that three-stone setting. I was thinking "oh no" when you said "three stone" because I was envisioning that lovely old cut flanked by two new RBs. I should have known better, right?!? Good job!

WOW! The improvement is like night and day!

Lucky you that you can baby sit for a week.

Lucky mom, she''ll be thrilled with a setting that does her diamond justice!

Really, really fabulous reset!!

That is onnnnnne gorgeous ring!!

The difference of settings is like night and day. It looks at home now. Beautiful!!

Hope your mom likes it!

I thought the EXACT same thing, again. This is getting scary.

That is on FABULOUS reset! Your mom is going to be thrilled!!

Wonderful!! Great craftsmanship, really like the thin double prongs. What kind of metal is it reset into? It looks amazing!! Congrats to you and your mother.
