I want to start off by thanking those who have come before me with their designs by Victor Canera. There were others as well who posted their amazing french cut designs by other well known vendors.
I made contact with Victor via email to get a quote as I had been entertaining the idea of resetting my 2.74ct Infinity after seeing Angietaren and LGK's fabulous rings. He responded right away. The next day I made a phone call to Victor, had a short conversation and I told him I would get back with him. Well, we had many chats and emails about what kind of setting I wanted. He sent several photos of other designs he had made, making it even harder for me to decide because they were all beautiful. I posted a thread on PS for opinions for the reset.
He has been so very patient and kind throughout the entire process. Never seemed like I was taking too much of his time. Always responded within a very reasonable time frame of my e-mails. Once he recieved my stone and we had confirmed the design, it took 2 weeks. He sent me photos as the design process progressed. I asked many quetions along the way, he never got short with me.
I feel the cost was very reasonable for the outstanding quality of a hand forged platinum design. I will be contacting him again for my future projects.
I can't say enough about the details. It is superb, flawless. I would not change a tiny little thing. The french cuts are TDF. Sparkle like mad. I can't believe how my stone looks now, it made such a tremendous difference.
I regret not going this route when I first bought my diamond. Victor is going to set a custom cut pink spinel by Jeff White in my old setting which was made by Brian Gavin. I think a colored gem will suit it much better.
Design stats:
2.74ct N color center stone, 1.29ct L-M (6 each side, perfect match) custom French cut diamonds set in platinum. Double claw prongs. Double miligraining. Engraving on the top of shank between french cut stones.
