My new VC Aqua Halo ring just arrived from FedEx this morning. The new ring is a VC halo bright cut pave with millegrained edges, it has a split shank with 2 x French Cuts as features in the sides set with a 5.79 (10.2mm) Antique Cushion Cut Aquamarine but by Jeff White, I believe the stone originally belonged to BrightIce and I am the third or forth owner of it.

With thanks to Victor for always being amazing, to Niel for inspiration for the new ring and to Acinom who is my bling enabler on the other side of the world!!!

You can NEVER have enough Victor rings - that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!!!

Love your new ring! I want an aqua like that so bad! I contacted Jeff White while ago to ask if he can cut an aqua for me but he didn't get back to me. I guess he must be very busy. Enjoy your new ring!

Hi :wavey: try emailing Jeff again I think he had some nice Aquamarine he was cutting recently on FB. He hasn't had any Aquamarine like this for a few years, but I noticed a stunning EC cut he did recently. I am not sure Jeff has had any more rough material exactly this colour, this one was a lucky find - I am the third or forth owner of the stone and it's been in my stash of needs to be set "one day" items for a while now and I have finally gotten around to it.... These are Jeff's original pics taken from the original owners post;

Well I love it! The halo really makes the color pop! Your collection is mind blowing and this ring is no exception. I fully expect to see it as jewel of the week in about 3days! :appl: :appl: :love:

I think its a nice compliment to your collection. The sophia isn't quite as large and blingy, so you've got a colored stone ring for different moods. Ones more subtle, ones more impactful.

Your stone is exactly what I want. I am surprised that the other owners didn't keep it.

Yay!! Glad your new ring has arrived :love: :love: :love:
The gorgeous Jeff White aqua feels so at home framed in the elegant setting. I love the detailing: the angle of the halo, the frenche on each side to highlight the split and the way the shank splits with a different melee size. Another masterpiece by Victor!!'
You have aquired an aqua with an amazing colour and cutting(you know how much I love it) and choose the best setting for it.

And I love love love the pink tourmaline in the Sophia setting. The strong pink literally pops!!! Another stunning combination. You never told me where you found the pink I think? What are the specs?

You have the most amazing VC collection. But you cannot leave us hanging here: handpics are in order :naughty:

Thank you :bigsmile: since I ripped the idea off from you originally anyway :saint: and added a halo to protect the stone a little bit :lol:

Your latest piece is completely divine! :love: I see he even named it after you! If I may ask, is the bright cut pave pretty comfortable to wear compared to your other pieces?

Also, just wondering if your Sophia ring is preloved (?renogirl's previous setting)?

Do you have a favorite piece out of your VC collection now? :naughty:

Coming back to admire the photo's again :love: :love: :love:
And please please please post some pics in the Victor thread as well as the frenchie thread (both CS rings qualify, since the Aqua ring has frenchies in the shank :D

The colour of that Aqua is as rare as hen's teeth. I am so glad you invested in such a beautiful ring for it.

The Sophia has some beautiful engraving if I remember well? Would love to see pics from all angles.

I think you must have the largest personal VC collection here on PS.

That is simply stunning!! I really like the square diamond at the start of the split shank, it makes it more elegant.
