Honey, you do not need to justify why YOU changed YOUR ring! It is a beautiful ring, and it should make you happy--who cares about what other people say? Besides, anyone who''s going to give you a hard time about your lovely new setting is being childish and incredibly selfish, complaining to you about it. It''s YOURS!! They should count themselves lucky to get to see your photos at all. Seriously, some people!
Congratulations on getting your incredible stone set the way you want it!
Gwennie! Your words are very kind. You look so beautiful in your avatar picture!

I loved your old setting, but this new one is amazing!!!!! Lemony looks gorgeous, and the ring is like hollywood blingtasticcongrats on such a beautiful creation!!!
There is a lot of diamonds on this reset, the setting is very delicate however, much different than my previous setting, it
is very comfortable too... Michael did such an amazing job... The man never cease to amaze me!

It''s gorgeous!
How rude (and bold) of someone to post such a comment on your Facebook page! I love how elegant your new ring is, and I can''t get over how wonderful Lemony looks out of the yellow cup!
But we need more profile shots -- the peek of the profile is just not enough!
Sara - I will try really hard to take better pictures of the setting to show the profile... I was pretty tired last night and my picture taking skills were quickly going down the drain lol. I do adore her out of the cup. It''s a beautiful light yellow. Sunshine with me everyday!

Lemony is the reason I discovered Pricescope - mere words cannot describe her beauty.
Your new setting is exquisite. I know viewing her in her new home will bring you a lifetime of joy.
How did you come upon PS exactly? It is always interesting to know how people find a board or so... I remember finding this board trying to get more info on sapphires... wow, that was a loooooooooooooong time ago! Thank you for your words!
THank you so much Farleysmom - I really enjoy the softness of the yellow, somehow before it was maybe too crisp for my likings... I had a hard time working in the last 2 days lol. I promise, I''ll post more pictures in the next few days.

Oh, Amethyste...
I was one of the biggest fans of Lemony''s previous setting and i''m telling you that when i saw her in her new home i was amazed and stunned
Honestly, the new setting is gorgeous and i love, love, love Lemony being free and naturalGod, i adore this ringIt looks amazing on your finger...indeed a wonderful transformation
Be very proud of your ring, everybody loves it...(and we''re all jealous of you...in a good way).
Thank you Naty, the point of this thread ( other than I really wanted to set her in a setting more fitting to my lifestyle ) was to share with all my cyber jewelry-nut-lovers my excitement! I saved for this pear for 20+ years and to have her in the perfect setting was for me the end of this journey. I don''t really care if certain people do not like the re-set, in the end, I am the one wearing it. It is impossible to please everyone: the most important one is myself and I adore the way she rests now on my finger. I do know I am a VERY lucky person. I don''t not ever will take this for granted...
THank you so much!!!
Lol - I am glad you love it thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much !!!!!

WOWZALove, love lemony in her new setting. It looks elegant and stunning on you. While I loved your old setting, there is just *something* about this one that calls to me (but it''s you who counts)! I really can''t believe someone *found* you on Facebook and made a comment like that...rude! Enjoy it and wear it in good health for many, many years to come!
THank you SparklyOEC - You are right, there is a little "something" that really draws me to gaze at it... I think the trillions are really perfectly matched for her size, Michael E. was a very good guide at nailing this ratio - and of course, at delivering this timeless look!

Ame, the new setting - nay, the whole ring, is just exquisite!
The prongs, the lines, the fantastic balance between the side stones - frankly, my personal opinion - I would take this new ring any day over the prior one.
I know many people were fond of your halo, but it goes without saying that if it wasn''t practical and you didn''t love it than of course you should change it! I can completely relate, I like my rings set low so they don''t bang - and I do NOT own a doorstopper like your awesome pear!
please do not worry about some nay-sayer on FB. I recall you saying you wanted to change this setting very early on, and I for one am glad that you did - more eye candy Please, it looks fabulous and so massive on you!!
ps. I love the work that Michael did. You have really opened my eyes to his custom skills, and I wouldn''t mind working with him in future
Hey there Arjunajane! THank you for your post! Yes, you are right, as soon as I got the ring, I was like hmmmmm... not practical for my lifestyle - but I gave it a year to gather designs and see what I''d like to end up with for the rest of my life ( ugh sounds morbid huh? ) I promise to post more pictures in the next few days! THank you again
You would love to work with Michael, he is very kind, precise and a true artist with a great eye for details THank you Maevie, I do think the 3 stone look with trillions is an elegant classic
I think you nailed it right on the head: The contrast between the soft yellow and the white white of the Trills makes for a very dramatic contrast. I think the cup made the yellow too crisp for my taste... THank you for your nice words!
THank you Tigian - Very nice of you to say
THank you Innerkitten - I agree, a more classic look was what I was hoping for

OH MY GOD!!!! This is breathtaking - truly breathtaking!
Amethyste, your old setting was lovely, but i have to say, i much prefer this new one! It is just so classy and beautiful, and the sidestones are the EXACT right size and proportion to highlight your pear.
don''t worry about some negative FBer -- taking that beatiful stone out of the halo, really allows it to shine!!!
Violet3 - I do love the look of a Halo on a round stone - after almost a year of wearing my ring, i just didn''t love it... I am glad I listened to that little voice and say "Do it.... do it". lol.
Luv - You are too kind! I promise to post more pics in the upcoming week.
Junebug - I agree with you that I should let this comment ( well email ) roll off my back, I just was surprised at first, and perhaps, I made a big deal out of it for nothing - she did offer her opinion, which is fine and accept that, but it was out of the blue and caught me by surprise. THank you for the sweet words, you are a gem
Hello y2kitty - no problem! I took the pics last night, cropped them, but was way too tired to post them lol. i think cropping all of these pics is what makes it such a bore! lol
Thank you!

Her color is gorgeous and enhanced by the white trillions! Congrats to you AND Michael E!
THank you AprilBaby! I sure hope Michael E. came to PS already and has read all of these positive comments!!!
Yes... I think almost every other day, I would bang my old setting on things as it was about 14mm high before and now it is about 7mm - to me it is a HUGE difference!

Glad she is back here!
Hello Gemgirl! The fleur de lis was a very nice and personal touch and i am glad it ended up here on this reset. I have been mostly at work in the last few days, so i have not really "been out".. i''ll let you know if i do get hand grabbin''

Your old setting was exquisite, but your new setting is even more so! The sidestones really enhance your pear''s shape, and I''m loving the soft buttery yellow. Congratulations, it''s just beautiful

I think it''s a beautiful reset, but I''m biased when it comes to trillions
Don''t worry what others say about your resetting your diamond; they''re probably just jealous that they don''t have one as big and beautiful!
I see you also love trillions - I think they are fabulous!!!
THank you so much

Wow, the new setting really is exquisite. Your hands are lovely too, I''m envious!
I had the exact same experience- my stone came in a halo setting I didn''t care for- and I reset it after about a year. And I had a number of people IRL tell me I was nuts to do so afterwards. (So I sold the most vocal one my old setting, actually, lol- honestly it looks way better on her than it ever did on me, she has much longer fingers.) Frankly I think that you don''t need to explain or apologize for your taste- you like what you like, and a halo on a big stone just isn''t what some of us like to wear every day.
IMO the new setting is much more classic and timeless. The prongs are to *die* for. What exquisite workmanship! I really like the color out of the cup too- it''s just the loveliest delicate creamy yellow. Yum!

Amethyste, when you first mentioned changing your setting I was amazed because Lemony just looked "right" somehow with her halo. I thought it was very brave of you to change her but also understood that you''d bought her like that and so wanted to make the ring more personal. I wasn''t sure how the re-set would look but I can honestly say that it''s phenomenal. It''s amazing the job that Michael (and you) have done. Lemony is stunning in her new home.
There are always going to be people who prefer halos or different settings to you but what''s important is that YOU love it. So ignore negative comments - look at it more that they thought you had wonderful taste in buying such a gorgeous ring in the first place!
Very many congratulations on a beautiful work of art.

Ame, do you use FF as your browser?
If so, can you please tell me how you do the multi-quote thing? (I hope you don't mind...)
Just to stay on topic though - Your Ring ROCKS!!!!
Hey there AJ! Hehe... ok, here is how you do it - I am on Opera, but I think this works on any browser:
First open 2 windows of the same thread, you'll need one to create your post (1) and one to copy from (2).
In the first window (1), click reply without quoting ( that's the window you'll input the info to )
In the second window, go to the person you want to reply to and click the reply button, then click the "quote" button. Take your mouse and highlight from the [ QUOTE ] all the way to the end displaying the code [ /QUOTE ]. Then copy/cut that selection.
go to your window (1) and paste that into the main box. You can then add your reply.
Then go back to Window (2), hit the back button and go to the next person you want to reply to, and repeat the same steps until you are all done
then Submit!I hope this helps!!!
Try it!THank you LGK!!!! I am happy to see that another person also experienced what I did. Michael E did an outstanding job! His prong work is amazing. He told me that he does most of his work under a microscope rather than the usual jeweler's magnifying glasses. I think he's onto something, cause its immaculate! When I look at my W to X color pear, I REALLY love the low end of the grading spectrum - it still look like a light fancy, its delicate color really pops next to the icy white trillions! THanks again LGK
Thank you so much LovingDiamonds - your post is very nicely put, there is always a way to convey an opinion and there is the other way ( the more careless way ) - I don't mind people saying to me that they liked the original setting before, cause there are as many opinions as there are little granule of sand in the sea. It's all in how a thought is delivered, but that's MHO.
Thank you again for your lovely comment

Lemony is just BEAUTIFUL! The old setting was pretty and Lemony looked great in it IMHO but the new setting really is a work of art and Lemony now looks FANTABULOUS on your finger! You were right on with the proportions of the side stones and the play of the soft sunny yellow with the white diamonds is just TO DIE FOR!
Enjoy and please more pics!
What happened to the old setting by the way? I may have missed it if you did say what happened to it so, if so sorry!
A big congrats!

Wow Wow Wow!!!
Your ring is spectacular. That is one iced out finger!!
I loved the halo, and I also love this. You have a beautiful stone, and there are many different ways to showcase its beauty. You have now shown us two of those ways, (thank you!) and I''m glad that you now have a setting that is gorgeous but also easier to wear. That is very important, because you need to enjoy it as much as possible.
Congratulations!!!

What can I say that hasn''t already been said- it''s just stunning. Amazing how delecate a 5+ ct rock can look in the right setting. I really adore the colour, those low but not fancy colours are my sweet spot - Lemony was gorgeous before but exquisite now in all her natural glory. If you are kind enough to share any more pictures, I''d love to see her with your wedding band if this is how you will wear her normally.
