So after months of research on this forum I finally received the Victor Canera Emilya with flush fitting stems I ordered for my girlfriend (now fiancee!). Victor was a very nice guy and I pretty much just gave him the diamond and let him perform his magic. I know there are a lot of VC Emilya's on this forum, but I didn't come across many photos of the flush stem version.
Specs:
Diamond ordered from James Allen (also a great experience!)
1.23 Carat Modern Round Brilliant
K color
VVS2 Clarity (I wasn't necessarily looking for a stone that clean, but this one fell in my lap for the right price)
Excellent Cut
Excellent Symmetry
Very Good Polish
Strong Blue Fluorescence
1.7 HCA Score
Setting has .46 carats worth of melee diamonds and is a size 4.5
Hand shots will come once my fiancee returns from her work trip. Until then, here are the few that I have.
I also want to mention a couple more things a learned through Pricescope:
I had Patrick Davis in Los Angeles appraise the loose stone and the full setting. He was also great to work with and I would definitely recommend him. He is under the appraisers tab if you're interested in his information.
I ordered a custom ring box from ringboxcompany.com. It's a hand made custom wood ring box that is a piece of art unto itself. I think it was about $80, which ends up being less than 1% of what I spent on the whole project. Pretty easy to justify and definitely a cherry on top.
