My Victor Canera Emilya - 2.7 ct with band and custom spacer

Hello everyone!

I am so delighted to be able to share with you my Victor Canera Emilya! I had my original e-ring reset for a few reasons, and I am so extremely delighted with the results. I got the Emilya halo with single cut pave, plus a matching band. I also got Victor to make me a custom spacer, as I wanted pave on the donut. The spacer allows me to wear my band and my e-ring together while mitigating the resulting damage. That said, although wanting to wear a band with my e-ring was one of the issues that drove me to consider a reset, I'm finding that my preference now is to wear my e-ring on it's own, as it just sets off my center stone so wonderfully well. Still, I love having the bands and the option to wear them when the mood strikes. I also like the option of being able to wear the pave band on it's own, as I have a two year old and so often wearing my e-ring is not practical.

I chose single cut pave in order to have something a bit different, and I'm really glad that I did. The pave sparkles like crazy and is a good complement to my center stone, I think. I also had Victor leave a tiny space at the back of the band in case I ever need to resize it. For reference, the size of the rings is 5 1/8.

Before I give particulars on my stone specs, I just wanted to say what an extreme pleasure it was to work with Victor. To say that he was both professional and accommodating would be an understatement. We exchanged over one hundred e-mails, in addition to several phone calls. He was always quick to respond, answer questions and offer his professional opinion when it was requested. Not once did he make me feel as if I was disturbing him or keeping him from anything more important (although I"m sure that I very often was!). I had some particular needs regarding shipping my stone, and regarding trying to find a gemstone to fit into my original setting, and he went out of his way to accommodate my needs on both counts. I also had a set timeline for completion of the ring, and he met that deadline. I hope to be able to have him work on more projects for me in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting unparalleled quality combined with absolutely stellar customer service. He is a master craftsman, and a consummate professional to boot.

I will post the stone specs below for anyone who might be interested. As always, a huge THANK YOU to all of the Pricescopers and also to all of the VC Emilya owners who shared their feedback, advice, photos, and experiences. I would not have found Victor without your help, and I would not have pursued this reset without your guidance. I special thank you to frankie whose detailed photos and description of her e-ring journey has proven so helpful for the many of us who adore the Emilya so much that we wish to make it our own! Pricescope is an amazing and very special community... but then we all know that, right?! :wavey:

Thanks for taking the time to look at my new rings...

Victor was also kind enough to have these photos of my rings taken...

That's it for photos for now! My diamond photo skills have definitely waned since I last had a SMTB thread!

Thanks for taking the time to look! :loopy:

Really love the combination of your rings together! I have the same single cut band and it sparkles like mad! VC has done a wonderful job on your ring, once again!

Bem, I love your new set, but I also loved loved loved your Leon! I came so close to ordering a similar ring to yours when I chose my ring.

Your new set looks fantastic and I love it both ways too! I totally understand wanting the ability to bling it up a bit when you feel like
it. I ordered a spacer (made by Leon) so I could do the same.

It is a gorgeous set! I hope you will love it for years to come!

Congrats on your beautiful and HUGE set! :appl: I'm glad everything worked out really well, including the spacer. Would it be possible for you to take a picture of how the spacer accommodates the donut? :love:

Your set is AMAZING! :love:

I really love the look of your engagement ring with the spacer and wedding band, but I also see why your like the engagement ring by itself-that baby really stands out!

Congratulations! :appl:

Absolutely gorgeous! :love: :appl: Your spacer perfectly solves the problem of wearing two bands when diamonds are on the doughnut of the e-ring!

Gorgeous!!!! And HUGE! That is some serious finger coverage! I love the curved cut-out on the spacer so that your bands can still sit flush without having to go with a curved band.

I LOVE the stack with all three. I love that the spacer band is curved to work with the donut!

this is probably the most stunning ring I have seen!!!! the halo is perfectly delicate, and I love the little notch on the spacer so that you can wear it along with the pretty pave eternity...the whole thing together looks so perfect!!!

REALLY pretty! :love: Does the spacer shift around at all, or does it hug the ER at all times - just curious.

Awww - thanks very much. I love my Leon, too, but I do think that this setting sets off my stone a little better. I am looking for something special to put in my Leon setting, and when I do I will be re-revealing it for sure! Thanks for your kind words!

I can try, but it might be a challenge... Basically the donut fits perfectly into the notch of the spacer. I'll see if I can snap a pic that might demonstrate that. Thanks for the kind words!
