First a little backstory; I wanted to reset my 1.7 radiant diamond because a) the ring needed resizing and b) my tastes had changed and I was tired of the setting and wanted to put it into a simple solitaire. I thought my husband was on board, he said he was anyway until we were at a jewelry store and I had chosen a new setting. Then he got all sentimental and decided he really didn't want me to reset it and offered to buy me another diamond to set any way I liked and keep my current ring as is as a blingy alternative ring. Well, I couldn't pass on that offer so we just resized my current ring, which now looks amazing as it was terribly dirty and they rhodium plated the platinum while they were at it.
We trudged around in the rain to all the jewelry stores in Portland over the next week looking at antique cut diamonds. I have been wanting one for a long time but didn't think it would ever happen. I wasn't in love with any I saw so I contacted Old World diamonds too. Nothing in my price range was quite right and I realized I really valued symmetry so I turned to newly cut diamonds such as the AVR and CER. One of the CER's really jumped off the screen to us and my husband encourage me to choose this one, so I did. I love that Victor's diamonds have an open culet.
