Over seven years of marriage, my husband and I had developed concerns about the durability of my 18kt halo setting (stones fell out, repeated rhodium replating, and engraving wore away), and I had become disenchanted with the chunky prongs and how high they set the stone. Last summer, my husband said he wanted to replace the setting with platinum and suggested I spend some time researching what I wanted. After months of searching and contemplating, I choose to de-halo and add side stones. The three stone rings with pear sides by LM and SK drew me in and choosing between them was a challenge, but Steven’s use of larger side stones and his eternity band styles won me over. He promptly replied to my inquiry and was gracious, funny, conscientious, and incredibly easy to work with. We dropped the old ring off on a Friday afternoon and he was ready to ship 4 weeks later. It turned out even better than I could have imagined and my stone sparkles much more. The old 18kt wedding band looks so ugly in comparison that I don’t wear it and am planning a SK platinum eternity band in the future (hopefully near). My left ring finger is a size 5, but the ring is a 5.5 so I can wear it on both hands. The center stone is a 1.49 H-VS1 round and the sides are .44 and .43 J-VS1 pears.

Lovely reset. Classic beauty with lovely lines. The fire photo scorched my retina. I hope you're able to get your new wedding band soon.
 
BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE those double prongs!! YOWZERS They are stunning - so tiny and sharp and pointy---- ooh, my heart is just racing when I look at them!!! YUMMY!!! Beautiful 3 stone setting, lage, it is just GORGEOUS and well worth the wait for it!! Is that unplated WG?? It just looks so lovely and warm in one or two of those shots!

And speaking of shots.... W :love: W to the fire shots!! WOW, Matata is right - a little retina explosion happened when I looked at that shot!

Congratulations on your anniversary and best wishes for many more happy years together!!
 
Wow! That's really gorgeous! :love: :love: :love: I am a big fan of SK's work. Many PSers have beautiful rings made by him.

I am so happy for you!
 
One of my faaaavorite settings ever!!! Anything that has two pears hugging it is beautiful!!!

Loooooove!!!!!!
 
Very beautiful - congrats on the reset!
 
Thanks to all for the wows and kind words. I love it!

Matata, I hope it happens soon! My husband said we'd have to wait a while, but yesterday he asked me to send Steven's contact info to his work email for a guy in his office (who already is married). I'm suspicious, as he made the comment while my step-daughter and I were holding up the new ering next to eternity band photos on SK's website. We have an anniversary in May, so I'm thinking he might contact SK to make an eternity band and surprise me. Now my big dilemma is between R0406 and R0413 with 7 or 8 point stones. Lol!

Enerchi, the ring is made of platinum. I suspect the metal is reflecting warm colors in the environment and the stones. My sun shot was completely self-indulgent. :)
 
I always love a good 3 stone, and I'm totally enthralled w/ yours! Gorgeous!!!
 
What a beautiful reset!!! Do you have any "before" pictures? That fire shot...yowza!!
 
Shots of the old set. I had planned to put a colored stone in the setting, but the new ring is so beautiful, I don't know if I'd wear the old one.

Oh my gosh, I love your new setting SO much more!! :appl: :love:

So classic and beautiful!
 
Just beautiful! :love: Elegant and timeless!! Wear in health and happiness!!
 
I like the new ring much better - it really lets your diamond shine! Congrats!
 
It is gorgeous! The proportions are perfect! Well done! :appl:
 
Ooooh! I do love a nice three stone. Well done! I hope you get your delicious 8 pointer band soon. Do put a nice coloured stone in the old setting, it would look lovely on your right hand.
 
So classic and lovely! Congrats! :appl:
 
It's stunning. Pear side stones are my favorite setting for a MRB. Could we have a profile shot pretty please?
 
This ring, is maybe the best three stone beauty i've ever seen in my life... I totally love it and i'm crazy about the pear side stones :love: Perfection my dear....huge congrats :appl:
 
What a beauty! The new setting is a great showcase for your diamond. Congrats!!!
 
:love: :appl: :love: It's beautiful!! Steven Kirsch really does make the dreamiest rings...
 
It is so gorgeous!
 
Fabulous! The new ring is just beautiful! :appl:
 
HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :appl: :love: :appl: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: It's amazing - I think i'd love it with a plain wedding band. I think you should put a pretty colored stone in your original halo and wear it as a RHR. Maybe one of the les expensive colored stones, so it's not a heafty investment, but you should wear it.................

I completely agree with this idea!! The original setting is just beautiful and I could see a nice deep coloured stone, well saturated, sitting in that setting, as a RHR. Oh... that would be amazing! Sapphire? Ruby? (both pricey unfortunately) Spinel? Amethyst? What is your birthstone or your DH's? you could pop one of that stone in there? *unless is April, then... "been there done that"!
 
It's very beautiful. I have a soft spot for well proportioned pears. My e-ring stone is a pear :-)
 
Oh, my, that is elegant and stunning!!! :love: :love: :love: Truly that is one of my very favorite settings, and Steven did a fabulous job! :appl:
 
Oh my-your ring is stunning :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: Classic, elegant, really beautiful! Proportions are perfect!
Love pears as sidestones, yummy :lickout: Congrats on a fabulous reset!
 
Congratulations on your reset!! :appl:

There's just something about pear accents w/ a round center stone ... I LOVE that combo. It flows so perfectly, wow. I'm trying to
picture your new ring with an eternity band next to it, and I've got to say that I'm having a hard time. This 3-stone ring looks absolutely splendid by itself!!
 
It is beautiful! Congratulations!
 
You all are so kind. Thank you for all the good ideas. Currently, I wear the ring alone as SK recommended, though do feel a bit naked without a wedding band of some sort. Attached are a few more shots as requested. Please excuse the poor lighting and grainy iPhone shots - reflection from the gold sofa didn't help.
