Sooooo, I've been a terrible p'ser 
I've been holding out for nearly 6 months without posting these - I just don't know where the time has gone! Anyway, I won't bore you all with the intricate details but suffice to say, these 3 projects are the culmination of several years worth of coveting, picture storing and eBay selling to clear out the jewellery box and justify purchasing these.
All stones came from GOG and were set by Steven Kirsch. Both were a dream to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for a second.
Ring 1 - 1.69 I SI1 AVC http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/10811/
Both this and the asscher (to follow) are RHRs. I know they are both similar and I know they look like ERs but you know what? I really don't care! I love halos but both my husband and I wanted a classic solitaire for my ER so this was my compromise and present to myself.
The stone is totally eyeclean and wow, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with an AVC but this just blew me away when I saw it. Steven's work is also out if this world. I wasn't sure if the 2nd row of pave around the edge would make the ring too bulky. Steven assured me it wouldn't and boy he was right. 6months on I still find myself gazing at his handy work in disbelief.
Sorry the pics aren't the best, will try and get some better ones in the coming days. More pics + Rings 2 and 3 to follow shortly.......

I spent about 8 months stalking the GOG website and Jons videos waiting for the right AVC to come up. I've always loved stepcuts but was put off by the effort required to find a well performing one. This stone was brought in along with another for a p'ser and i happened to stumble across it. The fact that it was a K made the price very appealing and it just spoke to me from the video. It wasn't a rational purchase as I knew I was reducing my AVC budget but I've no regrets at all. The plan was to go for a temp setting but a few factors came together at the right time and I decided to go for my dream setting straight off.
