Hi Everyone! I thought I'd start a new thread to show you my updated ERD eternity band.
Here's a link to my previous setting:

After wearing the U-prong style for over a year, I finally felt like it was time to remake it. After spending all of that money on the previous ring, it just wasn't comfortable enough for me and I wasn't completely happy with it. I wanted to enjoy it forever, so I went ahead and had it remade.
I started working with Mark in July and we discussed the comfort factor a lot. I wanted to get it just right. I wanted a low profile basket setting with a spacer bar. I asked him if he could send me the ring half way through the process so I could try it on. He set 3 diamonds into the setting so I could get a feel for the low profile and if it felt good between my other fingers. It was a great way to see it so that we could tweak it if needed before it was 100% done. It ended up being perfect so we didn't need to do anything to it. I sent it back and 2 weeks later it was completed and back on my finger.
Seriously the ring is so comfortable! It's a night and day difference between the U-prong and this setting. I am in love with it! The last ring was sized at 6 3/4 but the new one is 6 5/8 so it is a bit tighter and since there's no more "space" between the U's, I feel like it fits much more snuggly (and overall, lower too). With the new lower setting and the addition of a spacer bar, the ring went from 18 stones to 15. So I lost .75 ctw (4.5 to 3.75). Mark gave me credit for the scrap platinum and those 3 left over diamonds so the new setting was very affordable too.
Mark was amazing to work with through the whole process, I can't wait to work with him again in the future!
Okay, okay, I know you really want to see some pictures right? Here we go
