Thanks for the compliments on my ring! I really do love it.
Wow -- SS did a great job with your prongs! I looked up the original thread on your oval and I agree that the prongs were way too blocky. What a difference! Did they have to unset the stone? Have you been to their store? What kind of eternity ring are you looking for?
I''m glad you love your ring--it''s elegant and sleek--the best kind!
Thanks about the prongs--yah the others were Blocky MCBLOCK! Ari said that the first jeweler was probably trying to make it as secure as he could--a little too secure--haha. They unset all 3 stones and reset them--they also added millgrain on the shank by the pave.
I''ve been to their store a few times--I love it! Are you in Los Angeles? I live here, so it''s easy for me. I want a bead set eternity with millgrain--1.5mm-something really dainty. (I like Leon''s quality a bit better for this style)
It''s hard to go in that store, and not walk out with an old cut! I just can''t right now...blah. I''ve been thinking about changing that oval ring entirely--meaning--no oval!(and a totally different setting)--but it has such amazing spread--1.5ct 9.5X6.6mm, that I''m hanging onto it for awhile. This is the ring that will most probably undergo changes--as you well understand! (sorry for blabbing away on your thread!)

Demelza, your new setting is beautiful. Truly. I''m confused though. You have an EC too?
SS does have incredible french cuts and they do an amazing job on their cutting. They had to re-cut a couple of times for my antique french cut band to get them to be the exact size and with your eye, you cant tell they inserted two newly cut stones, they''re that perfect. I''ve seen that french/OEC band in person too, it''s divine.
