Finally...

[NewRockHunter]

Well, after 3 returns, I have finally picked the stone, setting, and now have the finished product. In the end, I am very pleased. I ended up with a GIA cert stone from a local vendor, 2.02 round brilliant, G, Si1, VG cut, EX polish, EX sym. It is set in a Tacori platinum setting.
It was a long road, thanks for all your valuable input here on PS!

I try this setting on every time I go to a Tacori retailer. I love how brilliant their side stones are, although in your case the center stone is gorgeous too!

 

[NewRockHunter]

Thank you all for your comments about the ring. She has never seen the setting in person, just a picture in a catalog... I''m hoping it will knock her socks off!!! I am very excited.

Now I just have to come up with a creative way to present it to her! I will post some finger pictures as soon as I can... Thanks again for all of the input!

Very pretty! You got some great photos of the setting, I''ve never seen a Tacori that close up before.

 

[julesbeth]

Wowza! That is a beauty! The stone is perfection and I love the setting you chose.

 

[Loves Vintage]

Magical!! That''s the word that came to my mind after seeing the first photo! I too love the graduated side stones in the setting.

Thanks, I was pretty impressed with that close up shot also... just a basic point and shoot digital set for close up. Had to take a couple to get the focus I was looking for...
