I pulled my 2.6 carat pear out of a yellow gold bezel and worked with David (who was great) to create this new home for her. It’s platinum, tri-wire with two French cut side stones.

These are stills from David’s video. I’ll post my own when the ring arrives!

Gasp it is stunning. Can't wait to see more pics of this beauty!

It’s beautiful! That’s going to look amazing on your hand. :kiss2:

His work is amazing. It rivals Singlestone without the super high prices. I love it. I can't wait to have David make some new pieces for me. I also look forward to seeing your IRL hand shots.
 
It's beautiful and would look amazing on your hand!

Wow! I love it! Congrats!!
 
Stunning and so original. Well done!
 
Lovely! Every detail. Can’t wait to see your handshots!
 
Oh how lovely. I really like the clean, contemporary vibe of your new setting.
 
Mmmm Gorgeous! That pear looks huuuuuge! I love the tri wire shank and the french cuts! When do you get it?

The stone is pretty narrow, with the ratio to show and she’s a bit on the shallow side. So she faces up like a 3 carat stone. Thinking she will arrive Monday.
 
It looks so sleek and beautiful. Can’t wait for hand shots

:appl:How exciting! What did she look like before btw?

Here is the setting she came out of. She’s been in it for about 8 years the stone is cut well for its ago and a VS clarity but has some real tint & color. Before this gold setting she was in a classic 5 platinum prong setting but the bezel on this stone is extremely whisper thin - so I put her in the gold bezel to better protect the girdle. That was my first custom project and I was happy with the work but I’ve learned a lot in the intervening years.

But I came to the conclusion that given her tint, she looks better in all platinum.

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you think when you get it home!
 
That's beautiful! Definitely befitting her grandeur!

Thanks for including pics of the old setting. I had a pear (1.08) in a 3 stone with baguettes and took it out too. I love its newer setting
much more!
 
Oh wow this is amazing! I can’t wait to see hand shots!
 
I love the new setting, and am looking forward to see your handshots etc...

DK :kiss2:
 
Oh Wow!! Love the new look.. agree the platinum is perfect.. I heart bezels.. :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: and this looks so fresh.. also can't wait to see hand shots.
 
The new bezel makes her nice a cubby! Such a great look - thanks for including the yellow gold setting it is fun to see the different lives a stone can have.
 
Your reset is amazbling! It is truly a beautiful design and really showcases your stone. I love the clean lines and the tri-wire shank, and the French cut accents, too! :love: Please come back and indulge us with many hand shots!!
 
Love it!!!!
 
Love the new setting!!! :love:

What a lovely setting! Beautiful ring, @caolsen!

I’m sorry but what tint? I genuinely can’t see any overt tint, maybe a small impression of warmth? in the new setting. In the old setting, it looks like a light yellow! How amazing.
Looking forward to handshots. It is stunning reset!
 
I saw this on IG and thought that is drop dead gorgeous! So thrilled it belongs to a Pricescoper! I can't wait for handshots! David did a fabulous job once again!
