After several years wearing my replacement engagement ring I contracted the shrinking diamond syndrome. After surviving 25 years of marriage to me, my husband agreed to let me upgrade my engagement ring.

Original Ring: 1.39 ct, VS2, H James Allen H&A Diamond
Upgrade: 3.017 ct, SI1, I WhiteFlash ES Diamond

I never thought I would trade cut / clarity / color for a larger diamond but in person it was hard to pass up the larger diamond.

Thanks to the excellent reviews by the women of pricescope, I made an excellent choice securing the services of Victor Canera to design and create my engagement ring. He is meticulous and very easy to work with. I am considered a picky person (maybe not on pricescope) and I had no issues working with Victor. When he sent me the ring design since I had never seen a similar setting I was a little hesitant going forward with the ring. However, after seeing his other work and the excellent feedback from other pricescopers I decided to trust him and move forward with the ring. I am so glad I did. The ring is well made, excellent and enhances my diamond.

That's beautiful! I love the way the setting twines and swoops. And the side diamonds are a gorgeous addition.

Congrats on 25 years! :appl:

You're a lucky lady! Such a beautiful design and I'm so, so glad to see it. I had actually contacted VC a few months ago to talk about a solitaire with a more unique setting and he mentioned he had been thinking of a "tri-wire design with a few unique components" but it needed a 3 ct stone. I didn't go further with it at the time, and of course I never saw pics or anything, but I think this is the design he was referring to and me oh my, what a stunner!

Beautiful ring! The design reminds me of my upgrade, actually--the way the lines intertwine under the diamond. Love it!
Great stone, too. I'd love to see more pictures!
