After having my 3 carat emerald cut for several months in the solitaire setting that I thought I wanted, I never felt that the setting was substantial enough for the diamond. it just felt too lightweight to me (I picked the wrong solitaire setting) I couldn't decide what i wanted but then some 3 stone rings caught my eye and that is the way i decided to go. the setting is a platinum Joshua J design 3 stone with trap sides. NOW i think i am DONE. the EC is 3.01 J IF and the traps are.70 tcw H-I VS2-SI1 (i didn't source them separately) shown in one picture with my new EC eternity band with 2.25 tcw G VS2.the other pic is with a plain platinum band . which way do you guys like the best? i like both and i IS good to have a choice!!! i can tell you i breathed a sigh of relief when i opened the box!! it was a LOOONG 3 weeks and 5 days!!LOL!!

Oh wow kellydean, your reset turned out beautifully and looks amazing! I love the proportions, imo the traps are just the right size - I know you expressed some anxiety over the whole thing in another thread, I'm so glad it you love it! Congrats!

As for the bands, I think they both look great! I would just switch them depending on my mood.

I thought your emerald cut was beautiful as a solitaire, but it is even more stunning now. That is one heck of a reset!!! Personally I prefer it with the plain band, but it really does look great with both of them.

Absolutely stunning. I love it with both bands but prefer the look with the plain band. It's great having two gorgeous band options.

I know a lady who has a similar ring but I think the large center emerald cut is flanked by two smaller emerald cuts. I can't be sure though, as I can never get close enough for a good look. My point is that both your ring and hers take my breath away.

So perfect.

I love the reset! I think it makes the emerald cut stone look more balanced on your finger.

Great choice - I like both bands with it so you should be all set! Enjoy your beautiful new ring!

Fabulous reset! I'm liking both bands, the first for perhaps more special occasions and the second for every day. But can't go wrong with either! :love:

Gorgeous!!! Congrats! If I had to pick only one band, I would pick the plain one... but luckily you don't have to pick. Both look great with it.

This is so well done and classy. It oozes Park Ave sophistication. Excellent choice to use traps. There is something so feminine about those curvy lines alongside the mor streamlined emerald cut. This is a classic piece that will never go out of style. I'm super envious!

Congrats. It's wonderful :)

Oh wow, it looked nice before, but good call on the re-set, because this takes your stone to an entirely different level! :love:

To my eyes, I like the look of the plain band best, but some days you just need a little extra bling! So, yay for choices! :D

I love your diamond so much, and it is beautiful in the new setting! :love: :love: :love: I like it with both bands, but I might like a spacer between the e-ring and diamond band so you can see the band better.
