Oh my you snuck this one in! It is utterly spectacular. It's somehow perfectly vintage and also crisply modern. Wow
Thanks @Austina I was very surprised myself. I did not expect a lovely video like that. I will have to figure out a way to save it.How fabulous to have the video of your beautiful ring being made.
Thanks @thecat. VC had made some elements of the ring before. The shoulders with the french cuts are on the Anjele. Of course he has done other tri-wires. I had never seen the cut-cornered square with a round center, prong set. VC says the center stone is pave set, but just for a big stone. I loved the bezel heart ring he did, but wanted a different basket. My Franken-ring turned out alright.Wow, it's unique, combining many elements I love! Is this a ring he made before or did you combine these elements yourself? Love the octagon, triple shank, and frenchies, all good choices
Thank you @foxinsox . Interesting observation. Which part of it feels modern to you? I'm quite intrigued.Oh my you snuck this one in! It is utterly spectacular. It's somehow perfectly vintage and also crisply modern. Wow
Thank you @MissGotRocks. It's been a long road. I hope you are proud of me. I do wear it and forget about it. I know I won't damage the stone. Then I look at my finger and am surprised at the beautiful piece of art on it.I am so glad that you are so happy with the ring!! Congrats on a beautiful piece - enjoy wearing your new ring with no worries! Isn't it wonderful that your vision came together with his artistry? Stunning!

Thank you @Wombats. @missy brought me to Adam at Old World Diamonds, and he had the stone.Exquisite!
Where did you find such a beautiful stone?

Thank you @mrs-b. Your lovely pieces are always such an inspiration to me.WOW! Congratulations!
Thank you @ecf8503. VC is truly gifted. I don't know why I am still surprised every time I see his pieces in person, but I am. And this setting shows off the stone to it's best advantage.Wow! VC is so talented and has such an eye for design and proportion. I'm so glad you are happy. And that center stone is tdf!
Thank you @thumbelina. It really is a work of art, that I get to wear on my finger!It's just stunning...and soooooo sparkly!! Congrats on that sparkly work of art!!!
Thank you @PierreBear. Happy to hear you got through my long winded post. Yes, as you can see I worried about everything. I even wanted to ask him exactly how the engraving would look. But I controlled myself. I was proud of that.I love your detail description of the entire process. It's enlightening to hear that you had specific desires/wants/requests/concerns but that it all came together in the very end. I'm so pleased that you are falling in love with the ring every moment and it has a forever home. Well done and enjoy it for many years to come! It is gorgeous and simply unique!
Thank you @plad25.Amazing
Thank you @Sandeek. Yes, so true. Victor's execution is beyond words. If he says he can do it, he can.No words! That is just absolutely stunning. What execution and of course your stone is tdf!! Wear it in much love and happiness! Love it
Thank you @luv2sparkle. You are so sweet. I am constantly looking at the ring and studying the detail for more perfection. It's so fun!!Add this gorgeous ring to the short(ish) list of WOW rings here on PS. Go to the top of the list.. What a stunner! Each element of this ring deserves to be looked at on it's own. Fabulous job by Victor. I hope you continue to adore it every single day. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you @canuk-gal. Hugs to you.HI:
Beautifully done. BIG WOW! Enjoy your ring and wear it is in health!
cheers--Sharon
Thank you @Bonfire. For sure, this stone feels so much at home in this setting. I love the basket and the big curved donut.Swooning over that basket! Your stone is glorious in her new home! She looks just stunning on your finger. Enjoy LLJsmom!
Thank you @Vogue.That's so gorgeous--congratulations!
Thank you @backwardsandinheels. I have studied your beautiful SS creation so many times. I hope you are still loving and enjoying it.Can't believe how great it looks! This goes in my top 10. Gorgeous, and pretty on you! Would like to see it with a colored stone, or different metal iteration too.
Pure perfection and a true masterpiece. VC never disappoints and WOW to his newest (and IMO most beautiful to date) creation. I am so happy for you that you are in love with your new setting and it really suits you so well LLJsmom.
A classic beauty without pretension but full of grace and elegance and easy old world charm. LOVE LOVE LOVE and I am thrilled for you sweetheart.
Enjoy your amazbling ring in pure joy and contentment knowing it couldn't have turned out better.
Wear in health and happiness always. (((Hugs)))
Thank youAbsolutely gorgeous!!! Beautifully executed, it looks perfect! Fantastic hand presence too! Love all the design elements, the perfect home for your beautiful stone. So glad you love it, congrats and enjoy it!
I'm so glad you love it and I can certainly see why! It looks perfect on your hand! There's a reason certain artists have reputations....they know what they are doing and have an innate sense of scale and proportion. I know it was hard to let go of some control, but the end result was certainly worth it!! It's perfection!! Congrats on your new masterpiece!!
Thank you @motownmama. Yes, it's big but still so elegant. I don't know how he does it...This is an amazing treasure! And, while it's obviously a huge stone the ring still manages to look elegant. Job well done!!
Thank you @Akalahab Yes, I was surprised I liked engraving so much too.Wow! That's beautiful! The engraving looks like lace! Usually I don't like engraving on the antique inspired rings but on this ring, it's actually my favorite part! I'm 80% sure that I will have a VC ring soon but I'm struggling to choose which one of of his creations I'd want!
Thank you @derbygal. You get what I mean. I bet I have pictures of the SS ring you are referring to. There is always something that is not quite right. Too high, too bulky, too much detail, too much metal. But this was "just right". VC gets it.Your ring made my jaw drop. I love every detail. Thank you for sharing the details of your journey! I really liked a similar SS style like yours, but there was something about it that wasn't perfect, if you get my drift. Whatever it was, you and Victor figured it out. It's amazing.
Thank you @alene. Yes, I had no exact example to follow, just cobbling bits of other rings and trying to get what was in my head into VC's head. End result? Wearable art, or heirloom rather.Wow, so freaking beautiful! I know Victor has done deco pieces before, but I've never seen anything like this from him! Truly a work of art on your finger!
I think probably the very clean smooth lines - I'm not used to seeing antique rings looking so crisp along the edges. Usually they're a little worn or more rounded but this is brand new so it's got lovely sharp edges (well not sharp sharp but you know what I mean).Thank you @foxinsox . Interesting observation. Which part of it feels modern to you? I'm quite intrigued.
