All I can say is, thank goodness for Whiteflash's VERY generous lifetime upgrade policy! Very soon after receiving my 1.4ct ACA, I realized it was too small for me. I guess I should have realized it would be, since I previously had a 1.7 ct OEC! Anyway I went from a 7.2mm to 7.8mm ACA and it's a huge difference visually.

Becca and Vera were very patient and understanding, and I have enjoyed the experience very much. They never once made me feel like I was nuts for wanting to upgrade so soon or for being so indecisive. I'm sure this won't be my last upgrade, either, as I want to upgrade to another similar 1.8ct, H or I color ACA but with higher clarity in the future (the color and size of this ACA are perfect for me but I'd prefer slightly higher clarity ie a VS1 or a higher VS2, but WF currently has none in stock that meet my criteria). So for now, I am simply thrilled and enjoying my beautiful new set!

Caysie of CVB made my solitaire setting again and also this time I had her make me a matching French cut eternity band. I love the look of both stacked together, but I'm worried that the milgrain on the band might scratch the side of the solitaire. I do have a 1mm plat spacer already but it is not the same plat alloy as the one Caysie uses (iridium vs ruthenium) -- I wonder if that would be a problem?

Here are the specs:

1.84ct Whiteflash ACA, I VS2
Platinum Jovyn setting by CVB

3/4 'Riviere' eternity band (I wanted to leave a little room for resizing in future if needed, so I didn't go for a full eternity)
1.62 ctw G VS elongated French cuts. Interesting tidbit is that the Frenchies were recut from 1.9 ctw of baguettes.


Lots of photos:

What a beautiful set! Timeless and classic. I'm an antique lover but this is making me want a modern round! A well played upgrade :)
 
They're both beautiful & look fabulous on your hand!!
 
Love the whole set Mochiko!! Love the upgrade. It's stunning in the Jovyn. That Jovyn is like it's made to show off MRBs. I love ALL your bands. You are building quite a MRB set. Congratulations on the upgrade. It is so beautiful.:love::love::love: WF is awesome!!

WOW, such a beautiful and elegant set!
 
There is absolutely nothing that I don't love about these! Stunning!
 
Wow, it's gorgeous!

FYI, I also have a WF ACA, 1.84, VS2, I color. We are diamond twins!

When did you buy? I ordered in Feb of this year, and wanted a VS1 but the only option was a 1.70 and that was too small. This VS2 is pretty clean though!
 
Drool! :lickout: I keep going back and forth between preferring an MRB or OEC for my upgrade, and you're not making it any easier! :lol:
 
Looking forward to see this ring in person when we meet up later this year!
