My OEC is set!

[jaaron]

I approached Erika Winters, was told she wouldn't customise. Since I loved my Emilya, I debated sending the stone to Victor, but felt like it would be nice to avoid the hassles of international shipping back and forth. Waffled and waffled between modern, a more vintage look, halo, simple solitaire, bezel... You name the setting, I debated it, and in the end, decided to keep it here in the UK, bezel it and halo it. I also decided that if I wasn't going to send it to Victor, rather than trying to replicate his style, to go for a setting that was more modern and free-form. Other than asking to have it set as low as possible, I left everything else in the hands of the jeweller (who was fabulous).

The weather hasn't been ideal for photography, but a few not so great pictures.

@jaaron your ring is stunning! I’m thrilled for you.
Wear in good health and blingy joy.

 

[Rfisher]

That’s gorgeous!
Profile shot pretty please?
I can’t tell what I’m seeing. It looks like a fine superfine bezel- then it doesn’t!
And no tweaking at EW? Not even a little bitty bit or was it substantial?

Thank you. I'll try to get a profile shot later. It is a superfine bezel-- so superfine it's basically imperceptible from the top. If it tilt it, I can see the definition.

I'd asked for relatively substantial changes at EW-- a narrow band, a donut (like the one on the Margot, no 'shoulders' from the head to the band, and the diamond set as low as possible. And since I'm in the UK, I had to go through the intermediary jeweller who represent her here, so it wasn't a direct conversation.

I love the super thin bezel! Gorgeous!

[LightBright]

It’s old school craftsmanship and a gorgeous home for your spectacular diamond. Perfection. Do you have a separate link on the diamond? Who was the setting designer? Congratulations on the superb outcome representing a lot of thought and effort.

 

[motownmama]

Came out beautifully!

 

[Ally T]

Now this is just stunning! That diamond looks like it has been in this setting all its life. The halo is perfect & has that delicate petal edge that I adore on older stones, giving it a really romantic look. And the diamind is HUGE! Did you buy that over here too?

Who made the setting? It's so fabulous to come across a UK jeweller worth their metal

Gorgeous!

ETA: Deets on the stone, please?

 

[naroo_11]

Talk about finger coverage. The OEC was big without the halo.

 

[foxinsox]

WOW! I don't like halos as a rule but looking at this, you've got the perfect balance of delicate framing and size and I love this halo. Your stone looks incredible in this setting.
Who is the jeweller? That bezel and the proportions are perfect.

 

[Kim N]

Stunning! The faceting on your stone is one of my favorites on PS. Do you have the proportions from the cert?

 

[Gussie]
