First off let me say thanks to everyone here who posts and shares their beautiful pieces, their thoughtful reviews and their expertise. I would never have found Maytal Hannah without you and I’m so happy I did! As a looong time PS stalker, this is my first post because this is the first time I had something truly amazing to share with you all!

Engaged 17 years ago, married for over 15, my original E-Ring was my pride and joy. I designed it probably 18 years ago and my now husband worked incredibly hard on making that dream a reality along with our jeweler in the New York City diamond district. At the time, it was an unusual setting and it was beautiful but I did have a feeling in the back of my mind that the expertise in the setting just wasn’t there. Although my 2 carat cushion cut was a beautiful stone, I never felt like the setting did it justice. I asked my husband for a reset for our 15 year wedding anniversary back in December in order to add two side zones that represent our two sons. I couldn’t give up my halo because it was the thing I loved most about my ring way back when.

Having moved across the country a few years ago I was very nervous to be searching for a new jeweler with no personal referrals or recommendations but after a solid search here on pricescope I found Maytal. Her design and craftsmanship as well as her sweet and patient disposition is nothing short of miraculous especially in today’s day and age when customer service can feel so hard to find. We worked closely together to design my dream setting that included two beautiful trapezoids as well as my precious halo. Over many text messages, emails, phone calls and even an in person visit what she created is truly spectacular. As you’ll see from the photographs my new setting absolutely glows especially when compared to my old setting. It really shows that when you’re working with the right people it can make an enormous difference in what turns out in the end.

What more can I say? I can’t recommend Maytal enough and I’m truly grateful to have found her and been able to work with her to make my dream ring a reality. I was incredibly lucky to live so close, but I know she’s done pieces for people far and wide and if you search her name here on PS you’ll find all of the same recommendations that I did when I was first looking. I’ll be posting this in other areas of PS and also hope to start a whole new thread for anyone to show off their MH masterpieces, so if you’re one of them, keep a look out! Thanks so much for reading and letting me share my happiness (and obsession!) Now stay tuned for a SLEW of pics to show her off! 3CBE7B41-AC59-4076-A7CC-E4EFB193A132.jpeg 8DA42726-13F2-42C8-A4E2-44F7F1426282.jpeg F2AB4E33-A92C-4CA3-8309-9AC6E0975E51.jpeg 8819B9D8-7ACD-47FC-8FDE-AE22B979E25D.jpeg 4BCA266F-775A-415F-BF1E-7A0D1E72EF3C.jpeg 9697A2AF-6549-4358-91D5-88B9E35CC139.jpeg 943FFA8F-7728-43C7-A96C-52EACC19338A.jpeg 790898F2-5178-4F4F-80E0-C989299D31DB.jpeg E60E96BD-5D14-4043-B2E1-722E39D7F490.jpeg 5D20298F-7423-4B4E-803E-C8EE15E42A01.jpeg 025D78EF-2AFD-48C1-AAB6-BC22F8F73882.jpeg DBFE65F6-0FB5-4D57-AB4E-6E25B3CCF4DC.jpeg

Oh, yes, so much better! It really brings out your center stone, the halo is much more refined and the traps really bling it out and give it substance and presence.

Well done! It’s amazing and I know you will enjoy it.

Right!? That pic of my old ring is crazy, it seems so dark! I’m so happy I went with the traps, they are the perfect mate to my cushion. Thanks for the kind words!

Here’s another before/after...shows my original setting in a better light to give a better idea of apples to apples comparison! It was pretty before don’t get me wrong but beyond being blingy-er it’s just SO much more refined, sturdy while still being delicate and beautifully proportioned. And man you can’t beat that sparkle! 4180874A-4835-4AAA-8DF0-D3F2F92649B3.jpeg 2ADAE1B5-6AA3-4D65-9B53-5A28A100FCD9.jpeg

This is absolutely gorgeous! Such a beautiful design and still so unique while keeping the halo look you loved so much. I can’t get over how much bigger your diamond looks just in the main halo alone, without even factoring in the amazing side stones!

Your remodel is a stunner! :kiss2: your cushion in your new setting even looks a different shape, more square! Isn't amazing how putting a new dress on a stone can completely change how it performs. Congratulations on your anniversary and your gorgeous remodel!

It's beautiful! Amazing how much the setting affects the appearance of the center diamond. It doesn't even look like the same stone!

I loved the concept of the setting before, but I must say the transformation is absolutely breathtaking! What a huge difference. Thank you for sharing such great comparison shots. Your new ring looks so perfect and satisfyingly-proportioned on your hand, great vision and execution from you and Maytal Hannah. Congratulations on your anniversary and beautiful ring :)

Wow that is amazing transformation. Your cushion looks so much brighter in her new gown. I can't believe that its the same cushion!

Completely agree with @LoveMeDo and @GeorgieQ, the new setting is transformative! It really plays up all the best qualities of the cushion, it's almost hard to believe it's the same stone! Enjoy the new beauty, and here's to many more years of health and happiness with your DH!

Oh my goodness you guys, thank you so very much for the love! I agree 100% that my center stone looks bigger and brighter in her new home. It’s actually flabbergasting! Those before/afters speak for themselves with how important the skill and craftsmanship as well as design and proportions are to the final product. It’s amazing how much daintier but yet sturdier the whole setting is and how much it all sets off my beautiful cushion stone. TBH My husband wasn’t thrilled with me resetting, I think it may have even hurt his pride a tad...but when I told him how my center stone deserved to be really shown off (bc he’d done such a good job choosing it) I think that helped. Now that he’s seen the AFTER, it’s hard to deny that she was almost being hidden in her old setting. Now she really shines!
