Hi all, I'm sorry for the delayed response. To make up for it, I've taken 2 videos, hope you like them! You'd have to click on the arrow on the right hand side of the video screen below to watch the second video. Or you can just click the imgur link here. I'm especially pleased because this ring cost me just shy of $500 included taxes!! Actually, it was more like $450.

Here are the details again:
- The CZ is from Old Mine Rocks, link here. I got the 8.5mm warm. It used to say G/H, but I guess it's the same as warm, or Shan just renamed it. It's still pretty white and bright IMO. It looks pretty crisp to me. Looks to be a tall crown with a small table, but I'm far from an expert, just my untrained eyes. It was about $115, so I'm satisfied. I've never seen a diamond OEC in real life, or any OECs in real life, except this one, so take that with a grain of salt.
- Setting is 14k yellow gold. I had Daniel make it in "brushed" finish, or what people call satin-matte in home furnishing! It makes it less stark yellow, I guess. The inspo is taken from a variety of sources, like old Tiffany, Barbone, randomly browsing the internet. I didn't even know the crown basket was "vintage", shows you how little I know. I also like donuts on the ring to make the head part look more integrated. I normally like 4 or 6 prongs, but thought I'd try 8 prongs for a change.

This is gorgeous! I am planning an OEC project for the end of this year and this is goals. I’m mostly thinking of going with CVB, but Daniel M is just a few towns over and something about that seems very appealing. Plus the setting is to die for.

Thank you! Good luck with your project, I can't wait to see it. CVB's rings are gorgeous but I personally prefer Daniel because he's like 1/5 of the price (and I go through so many rings so it adds up) and he's super responsive.
