Wow, that is SO perfect!!!
The OEC honestly looks like an AVR (meaning it has a beautiful cut!) and that setting is fabulous! Erica and Caysie did a terrific job, and the detail on it is soooo pretty! One of the prettiest solitaires ever!

Re: 1.72ct AGS K VS1 OEC in plat. solitaire w/French cut sid
woofmama, thanks! I do think that it was rather serendipitous that I "found" the stone again after I thought I had missed my chance to get it.
diamondseeker2006, thank you! I adore your large AVR - I think it is simply beautiful, that flowery faceting is so gorgeous, right?
This 1.72 OEC may not be as technically perfect as an AVR but it could be an older eccentric aunt, LOL. (Its measurements are not quite perfect as it's not 100% round, it has an ever-so-slightly cushiony shape that I love. The OEC didn't come with an ASET but it is tremendously dispersive.)
luv2sparkle, thanks! I was inspired by the beautiful engraving on Acinom's 5.3ct OEC ring by VC, which has some gorgeous engraving on the band.
DK, CRYSTAL24K, Miss Got Rocks -- thank you for taking the time to comment and for your compliments! I'm so glad to be allowed to share my excitement with you all
DF, I appreciate your kind words. You have some pretty amazing stones yourself, so the compliment means so much coming from you. I am in awe of your Octavia, what a dream diamond! Lucky I live in another country -- if I saw sweet Octavia in the street I would grab your hand and never let go! 
missy and nala, here are some more photos as you requested. Missy, You were completely right that K is the sweet spot in terms of color. I like the vintage vibe that the slight hint of warmth gives, it's just enough warmth but not too much. I'm so glad I listened to your advice back in November and went with the K instead of the larger O stone. Here are some more photos that show off the faceting! The weather is still overcast here, so the photos are showing up slightly yellower than normal.
This shot came out a bit whiter -- this is more representative of the color I normally see.
Nice facets!

I came back for more photos and saw the new additions. The faceting is very much like the AVRs. Lovely Love the shank view as well. The flow from diamonds to engraving is fluid and I like the special touch of only 2 small areas of engraving on side shank.

Re: 1.72ct AGS K VS1 OEC in plat. solitaire w/French cut sid
Ooooh, that ring is wonderful, every single thing about it. Those prongs, those are the prongs I love!!! The french cuts are splendid and really complement THE ROCK!
Its fantastic on your hand, so pretty and feminine without being girly or inelegant (hard to do but this ring does it).
Wear in the best of health!

Superb!
Erica is the best, she is truly an amazing person to be "working" with. It feels more like talking to a friend. She has been amazing to me and continue to be. Whenever I needed her and her advice she was there. Best vendor ever. I am lucky to live 30 minutes from her.
(I need to post my Vivienne).

Re: 1.72ct AGS K VS1 OEC in plat. solitaire w/French cut sid
Eauphilia, azstonie, junebug17, bbziggy, daintyG, sweetpea, Alistra, kathley , and Phanie - thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment I feel so humbled to be able to own such a beautiful piece! Erica was great to work with - she made the process very easy and answered my many questions patiently and thoroughly. I felt very comfortable working with her. The team at CvB also does great work, as evidenced by the final product -- I didn't interact with them directly on the setting, but they seem to work very well with LAD. The similarity in the faceting to AVR was what triggered my interest in this OEC -- love that gorgeous petal pattern!
Acinom, finally the weather cleared up and there has been a little shaded sunshine today! I have had this ring for 5 days now, but the past 4 days have been gloomy and cloudy. I wore it to the mall last night and it sparkled like a discoball under the LED lights of the shops.. amazing!! I love the rainbow flashes that it gives off..
One thing which has been growing on me is that the basket is only engraved on two sides, not all four. At first I was a little unsure of leaving two sides of the basket plain, but now I prefer the asymmetrical patterning and realize now that engraving the basket all the way round might have been too much as there is already milgrain and engraving on the band/shank.
rainbow colors
sparkles!

I just wanted to mention that I love this ring and almost went for the Elisabeth setting for my own OEC from LAD! Also, like you, my engagement ring was a sapphire, and I had no interest in diamonds until discovering PS. Now I'm obsessed with old cuts.

Thanks, Hegemony Cricket (btw, love your user name, as a former student of political science also your new setting is so simple and classic - I adore it! ).
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave some comments, Travelgal, Madison2, yanaazul, nyquestioner.
Jimianne, your new OEC is simply gorgeous - can't wait to see how you have it set!! Here are a few more pics -- definitely need to clean it soon!
Indoor, shaded/muted natural daylight
