I'm late to the show but I actually saw the pictures early this morning - just didn't have time to post.
Girlie, you've really done it this time! You didn't create a ring - you created a set! I just can't get over the trellis work - one thing that always stopped me with the trellis setting is that the metal wires don't always flow; there can often be a jerky (for lack of a better word) stop and start even in the middle of the wires. These wires just flow and he has fanned those stones out beautifully over your finger. The center stone is still the star of the show; his work is sheer perfection. I am truly amazed at how well these rings turned out. I know you and hubby put a lot of time and work and thought into these rings and it has paid off magnificiently!
Enjoy every minute and every sparkle - truly a stunning masterpiece!

Congratulations Yssie! Your new reset and band look absolutely lovely together, the swoopiness, elegance, and overall flow of the setting is absolutely stunning! The center stone is really emphasized, making it the star of it all. Great teamwork on behalf of you and your DH, much dust your way that he's happy with this new reset! Best of luck to you

Thanks Pinto!!
Jewellery design... amazing to think there are people who make careers out of it! Now that must be the good life.
MGR Thank you! I know what you mean about trellis settings... I definitely think the finish makes or breaks it. A well-finished casting can avoid the same problem - I guess it's easier when you're starting with rounded wires though!
We're really happy with the way it all worked out
Thank you Verdy, for your thoughts and your well-wishes
Orchid - ::snort:: Thank you, and yes, I'm keeping this one! I love it, and DH *has* to like it - he planned it!!
ETA: Phoenix I missed your last question, oops! I'm using a Canon S95 - often with a white paper plate in front with a hole cut out for the lens..

What a masterpiece that you, DH and VC have created. It's a beauty. Enjoy for a lifetime!!
Yssie,
That's the one I meant...Coati's. Different bezel vs basket but I love the look in general. Interesting you mention that detail on the basket of a solitaire. Can you link me to that one...Haven's?? When I was working on my solitaire with Leon, not sure if I'd seen it before but I asked him if we could add milgrain to the horizontal bars of the basket and he said it wasn't a good idea. Told me he would explain why not when we spoke on the phone, but he never did say. Now I'm wishing I'd pushed for it because I really love how it looks on yours. Like you say, though, maybe it wouldn't even have been really noticeable IRL.
I can't stop looking at your masterpieces! They are just so pretty and you are so lucky!

What can I add to this thread that has not been said already?! It is a masterpiece for sure! I love that it is different but classic, detailed but elegant, modern but timeless. Also, that engraved band is going to be a bestseller.
Do you have a RLP shot of all three rings together?

Wowsa, I've obviously been spending too much time trapped in the F&H section, which is the only way I could have possibly missed this! Your reset is beyond any words I can come up with right now, and is most definitely a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Congrats on getting your dream ring, and wear it in the best of health!!!

YSSIE!!!! HOW did I miss this thread?!?!?!?! I've been popping into SMTB for weeks waiting for you to post pictures!
Anyway . . .
It's gorgeous. Beautiful. It's so fluid. I love the way the swooping intertwined prongs. The prongs themselves are gorgeous. Every bit of these rings are gorgeous. I really like the milgraining under the side stones. I like the way he put the milgrain on the top and bottom and gave those bits a flat shape, it adds a new dimension to the ring because they're so different from the rest of it.
Wow. Just wow.
I really like the detailing you added at the shank, too. That little indentation does make it look more graceful.
And that band? Divine.
MORE PHOTOS, PLEASE!!!!
