What a transformation!! It's so beautiful, she's going to love it! And hellooooo finger coverage :kiss2:
Thanks @Dandi! She always dreamed of owning a 10 ct. Since I don't have the ability to get her one, I figured this was the next best thing. And, it really is a beautiful stone to begin with.

Happy birthday to your mum @lulu_ma .
What a lovely daughter you are, the reset is stunning and I hope your mum is thrilled.
Best wishes to your dad and your family Xx
@Sparkles88 thanks so much! I feel very fortunate to since have my mom and dad-this is just a small gesture of appreciation.:)

This turned out amazing! I also love the idea of a colored stone so she can also enjoy her old setting.

Thank you @mustangchi. Too be honest, the setting still kind of bugs me. Something about the portions. But I will find my mom a colored stone if she wants one!

Beautiful transformation!!! :kiss2: I am not really a fan of trillions, and especially with an EC. Since you knew your mom wanted a larger stone, the halo was the perfect solution!

This is stunning! The new setting really enhances the beauty of your mom‘s diamond. Plus, killer real estate! What a kind and generous gift for your mom.
I can’t wait to hear all about her reaction on Sunday.

Thank you @elle_71125 . I really think the setting brings out the beauty of the stone. I was insistence on warmer melee. I think it worked out well :)
Woah, gorgeous and huge!! She can't help but love it!

@Catmom Thanks so much!

Thanks @CircularBrilliant ! I have always been fond of these types of halos. Glad that this one turned out so well!

@diamondseeker2006 thank you! I think trillions can look lovely but something about portions of the original setting look off to my eye.

Thank you everyone in sharing in my excitement about this reset. I'm happy to report that my mom loves the ring!

On top of being a wonderful mother and grandmother, she's also a former nurse and a cancer survivor, herself. I'm so happy that I could do something extra special for her milestone birthday.

(I made her pose a lot. She said, "People are going to think we are crazy." :lol:)

Your mom's sweet gold band next to it melts me!!! I have a large blue topaz from my mom I need to reset but have been struggling with a setting... while it's a pear I believe something like this would work!

@lulu_ma This made me tear up…I just love that you did this for your mom. The smiles can be seen even though both of your parents are wearing masks. The ring is beautiful..It’s even more special now because not only is it her engagement ring...but you added to the memories by doing this loving gesture for her.
Is the little girl yours? Precious. I love the last photo…:kiss2:

@junebug17 thanks for the kind words! My mom is wearing the diamond more which makes me happy :)

Oh a pear with a deco-ish halo would be amazing! I hope you post in Rocky Talky about it. I would love to see your ideas!

Thank you so much @MamaBee! I know you have and can appreciate beautiful step cuts! And, yes, the little girl is my youngest. Vacation time is family fun time:)

These pictures of your mum have absolutely made my day :kiss2: The ring looks super stunning & I love the gold wedding ring tucked underneath - a classic look.

Her face is as giddy & excited as if she was freshly engaged all over again! Love the picture with your dad on it too. What lovely, happy parents you have :kiss2:
