My reset has been quite the journey... I originally started out with a beautiful 1.13ct Princess of Hearts Radiant in a halo, but just wasn't crazy about the setting. I wanted something a bit more delicate that didn't overwhelm the center stone. And so the search began... of course, these boards immediately made me fall head over heels in love with Leon Mege, ERD & Victor Canera's work. I was planning on doing a little more research & then getting quotes from my top two contenders, but then I walked into XIV Karats in Beverly Hills & it was all over. I tried this setting on & never looked back. 
Of course, I couldn't make it that easy on myself... after months of lurking on these boards, I also fell in love with all of your stunning cushion cuts! So my simple reset turned into getting a whole new stone as well.. See what you've all done to me?! You've created a monster!
I ended up working with Leor at The Jewelers of Las Vegas to find a new stone and highly recommend him. He sent me several stones to look at & was so patient with me as I continually changed my mind. I loved that he was almost as enthusiastic about finding the perfect stone for me as I was.
Here's what I ended up with.. I couldn't be happier! Hope you all like it too!
