So here's the story behind the ering:
About 9 years ago, my then fiance proposed with the radiant ering. I was thrilled and feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. I wore the ring proudly for almost 9 years. I got many compliments on it. It was a hefty solid platinum ring. However, something was lacking in the stone and I felt the setting was heavy duty for my small hands. So, after 2 kids, I was feeling the itch of a change and after much convincing, hubby okayed an upgrade. Actually, it's more of a renovation... so I opted for a new custom setting and a new stone that performs much much better! I had to go with the original jeweler in order to trade in my original ring and get a credit. I really hope I don't suffer from major DSS anytime soon! I am already feeling the effects of it. Ring size is a 4.
Here are the pics of my original ering(1.03ct radiant, VS2, H, had a 79% table which was large!)
Here are more of my new oval (1.23ct, VS2, J, depth 60.2, table 56, 8.44x5.92x3.56, platinum Beverly K style setting)

Congratulations! 
I'm also in the process of an upgrade (I'm an ovalholic) so my new wedding set will also have an oval center stone. Would you mind sharing the width of the side stones in your e-ring along with the width of your w-band? The band widths look like the perfect compliment to your center stone. It's not always easy to get the right balance but you've certainly done it!
