Some of you might remember my post about my new upgrade from my previous cushion cut 8-main 1.59 square stone ([URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/msmisty-got-engaged.91666/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/msmisty-got-engaged.91666/[/URL]) to my new setting with a halo ([URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-new-upgrade.214051/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-new-upgrade.214051/[/URL]). I was wavering because I thought that I would really want a halo but when I actually got a halo, I missed my old setting. I missed being able to tell people about how my hubby custom designed it for me and when it really came down to it, I think I'm just a more simple girl and preferred the solitaire at heart. So we went back to my jeweler and he agreed to make a replica of my first ring. Without further ado, here is my new (old) ring and I couldn't be happier. Its so much more me...I can honestly say I love it. Its still a square 8-main except its a 2.75 center stone. I have to say, my jeweler did a pretty awesome job of replicating and adjusting the original setting to fit the new size. He actually liked the setting so much that he asked if we would be ok with him creating another one. He said that he would make it a little different so that we would still have a one of a kind piece though. :love:

Gorgeous reset!! Your ring looks amazing and the diamond is the true star.
 
Isn't it wonderful to get to the point of really knowing what you love and making it happen? It looks fabulous and I'm sure it shows in your smile as well as on your hand!
 
Lovely ring. I love the proportions of the split shank. congratulations!!
 
I love your beautiful reset and the sentiment that goes along with it! So very elegant! :appl: :love:
 
It's very pretty! I kind of feel the same way...I love like a ton of haloed rings on PS but just not sure if I would ever want one for
myself. It's very confusing :doh: !
 
I loved the design and the sentiment behind your original ring and I am so glad to see that you went back to that style. Most importantly though now you realize what you really prefer and you have something truly special. It is just stunning!
 
It looks beautiful!! :love: :love: :love: I'm so glad you figured out what makes your heart sing, it looks fabulous on you!
 
So beautiful! Congratulations on your new beautiful ring :appl:
 
Thanks everyone! Even though the center stone seems a lot smaller without the halo, I'm still happy with my decision. And I think that the jeweler did a pretty awesome job of replicating my first setting.
