Hi everyone! I think I can post this here, I have wanted to for a while but didn't know how to take pics. Finally read the manual (LOL)...

This is my original e-ring setting, an antique style platinum three stone basket setting. It was originally set with a 1.07 carat RB. I adore the setting but the w-band did not sit flush to the baskets and the ring was thinner than I like. Fiance had no problem changing the setting (hence the beginning of the Tacori saga and the 1.52 carat upgrade stone...)as long as I continued to wear this ring somehow. Since my birthday is December and my birthstone is blue topaz, FI got me a london blue topaz round stone to set in it (I know nothing about the stone) but I love the color.

The ring is handmade and each side stone is a premium cut 0.17 carat rb G VS2 with 10- G VS2 pave round stones, 5 on each side of the basket, .16 tcw. The pave is framed with milgrain.

Its a size 5.75 although my fat fingers say otherwise... :|
