Victor Canera Emilya

[Tree]

Thanks to the members of this forum, I found a great stone, a great craftsman, and ended up with a beautiful e-ring!
I was interested in a Canera setting for several reasons -- hand forged, no cast pieces, and his reputation for outstanding quality and customer service. I contacted Victor through email, and promptly received a response with a quote and an estimated timeline for completing the project. After several more emails followed by near-instant replies, I shipped the diamond and a deposit. Victor completed the project one week early, and under budget!! I visited his office today and picked up the ring. I didn't have my girlfriend's input on any part of the process as I wanted to keep it traditional and surprise her. Hopefully she likes it...

Old mine brilliant
2.03

Here's a vid, which does not do the ring justice at all.

really beautiful did victor source the cushion for you?

I purchased the stone from jamesallen.com. They were also a very pleasant company to deal with. Victor had some beautiful stones available, but after months of searching, i already had my heart set on the JA stone.

This is the best shot I could come up with. I couldn't get any clear images in direct sunlight.

 

[Tree]

I'll keep working on getting a shot in some sunlight.
