Just fabulous, Steven did an amazing above-and-beyond job with that setting, I think it really encompasses all the elements you wanted, and the diamond is just superb! Congratulations, and thank you for all the pictures!

JaneSmith - Thanks sooo much for your comments. I am working on getting photos that actually show fire because this diamond throws off a lot!
GemFever - Now I just want to make the diamond even bigger! I thought it was huge before but I can't believe after 2 weeks of wearing it ... I already have DSS!
diamondseeker2006 - I would like to say this is my final ring but even Steven laughed at me and told me I was kidding myself. He is probably right and I will upgrade down the road. I can't believe the diamond is already feeling not huge.
sweet_blossom, SK4, Tekate, redwood66, SKippy - Thank you for your compliments! It means a lot. I am very much enjoying the ring.
braga123 - I am still debating what to do with the original setting. I am thinking of putting a gemstone (a beautiful 9 mm that I have) but I am worried about resizing.
Achinom - This ring has a lot of details! I think Steven tried to throw in everything I have told him I ever liked. Every perspective view gives you something different.
Mrs. W 514 - That's one of the things I have learnt in custom work for daily wear. Less is often more especially depending on how we dress. I am very dressy so this fits me but I can imagine this is already too elaborate for others.
AprilBaby - I sure try with photography. My next phase is to try to see if I can get a fire shot!
yennyfire - I have enjoyed your journeys and stories too. I love living other people's journeys!

marymm - It does and best of all is the comfort. I can't stress that enough. An uncomfortable e-ring is a no go for me.
nowincanseethemoon, onyx8 - Thank you!
SparklyOEC, MonkeysInk - It is pretty amazing how long these diamonds live through the years. To think that this diamond on my finger now has been worn by at least 3 women before me. I wonder what it will be like 100 years from now and if our MRB will be seen in this way.
valmanin - Steven really worked hard on this setting. I think it took him on/off 4 weeks. I think we don't often know how long it takes to actually make a ring. I can't believe I already have my next e-ring formulating in my head.
nyquestioner - I still love my Leon ring in many ways. My sisters actually like it better. Here is the funny thing though ... I have always been so stick on 1.5 mm thick shank. This one is 2+ and I discovered I am perfectly fine as well.
Ally66 - With the trend towards old cut stones, I think we are really opening up a new ball game for settings. Many go back to Edwardian / art deco vintage styles but while I love those ... I can't imagine one as my e-ring. It's hard to figure out the balance which is partially why this setting stone was unset for so long. I still remember your sweet story about your puppy - I love your VC and Leon rings!! I noticed you have a new thread going ... are you planning another project?
himni - Aww .. you are so sweet. This was my first time working with Adam and he was great! I hope to do more business with him in the future. SK is always easy to work with.
pixgirl - I think the diamond looks different now than before the recut but it has been so long since I have seen it and I can't really compare. I am mad that i didn't take pictures of the diamond before / after the recut in the same settings.

Big thanks to kalomeli, motownmama, Laila619, soxfan for your compliments. This means a lot to me!
k_darling - You are so sweet. I really love my diamond as well and feel so lucky to have it. I can't believe my luck in finding this diamond. I can't believe I almost given up on it - glad I didn't listen to the hubby!
vintageinjune - Yes, a lot of elements in this ring. Steven really went above and beyond to try to make a ring that I would love. I appreciate all the effort.
luv2sparkle - Thanks and I love your ring too. It's so unique and I always wanted the "bubbles" as Leon calls it.
Maisie - Thank you! I feel lucky to have a ring that made your list of beautiful rings.
ame - It means a lot coming from you! I know how selective you are with your jewelry.
Ashleigh - Thanks so much! Steven really succeeded in making a setting for the diamond. It was funny when my husband saw the ring .. he said .. this setting isn't you at all but it suits the diamond.

woofmama - Thank you. Your collection is amazing as well and I very happy that PS likes it. My sisters like my old ring more 
SB621 - I am not even close to rivaling your collection! I have a long way to go my long lost twin.
smilligan - Gggg.... not yet ... I haven't gotten insurance yet!
April20 - Phew I am glad. I think both settings are nice in different ways and fit different taste.
alene - Thank you!
MissGotRocks - I should add "educated" risk. I am not suggesting everyone should take risks. It's a bit nerve wrecking and doesn't always turn out well. I am glad it worked out for me.
heididdl - I feel bad. I haven't worn my Leon / AVC since I got this one.
artdecogirl - The prongs are very well done. Strong yet not in your face. I never thought prongs were hard to do but so few actually do them well.
Ganesha - I do feel blessed. I am going to take a break soon from bling. Just need to get my tranny set.
nottospec - I sure will until the next change

mom2boys - I wish I had a better pic for you comparing this and the AVC. I don't have my AVC on me as I am not home but I found this picture on my computer. I think it is the placement of the rings but the OEC is actually a lot bigger than the other rings in real life.

OMG! I'm in love with all of them!!!
I will definitely need your help when I purchase a large cushion and have it set by SK!

Charmy, I totally get what you mean about size. It took me a long time to decide to go over 2 cts, and it honestly looks no bigger to me now than my 1.6 did! So when you upgrade, you can just send this one my way.
Here are some good pics of Charmy's other gorgeous rings!
