Since 2013, I purchased my first 1.35 oec from JbEG, I have dreamed of little bit larger one. I loved my 7mm EGL L over to moon, but quite soon after I received it, DSS attacked. Permanently. I tried many settings (five), including bezel and halo, but nothing helped. I love solitaire look. Not super fancy and flashy, but restrained and quiet. I'm simple girl in my 50's. So I got set my 7mm oec to BGD platinum six prong setting on April and I loved how it looked. Quite small, but beautiful (my finger size is 6).

Only one month later I asked about my DH, if there is any chance to get 20th anniversary present...and if it could be a diamond. A little bit larger. Or even more.. He said YES and after that nothing stopped me. I contacted Erica and asked about upgrading. After accepting them, she helped me to ship my stuffs from Finland to her. She was super easy and very helpful. She took me tons of photos. And answered my tens and tens mails patiently. I panicked about setting, because custom route wasn't an option. I needed my ring on mid July, when we will celebrate our 20th anniversary. She felt I was desperate. And found the way to go and got my dreams come true. I never,even in my dreams, imagined this kind of ring. It is most beautiful and dainty but oh so big and bold. I can never thank Erica enough, but I bet she knows how I feel. Thank You Erica.

Setting is CvB/LAD Zoe in platinum, size 6.5 (I like my rings to be loose)
OEC is AGS 2.58 O vs2
8.79x8.64x5.33mm

Next pics. Quite a lot. You are warned!

I wanted either six or eight prong setting because of security. My stone has extremely thin to medium girdle and nothing else wasn't an option to me. There was four option Erica was able to offer
me in my time frame. Wonderful vintage platinum setting with tiny single cuts and oecs. But hard to get matched with wedding band. Then was Erica's very own Rendezvous. Oh my! It is gorgeous! But I felt it was been too much for girl like me. Finger coverage is outstanding in it. Beautiful Julia was very hard contender too, but Zoe took my heart. It is little bit old fashioned and offer perfect security. So Zoe it was. I couldn't choose better. It's perfect for me. And she lets me endless possibilities to choose wedding band beside for her.
