What an absolutely wonderful ring!!! So glad you chose to share it with us, and I, too, will be anxiously awaiting pics of the new setting when it's done. Meanwhile, enjoy and continue to wear it in good health.
Also, forgot to mention -- someone wondered about largest dia size on PS. IIRC, years ago there was a regular poster who had a gorgeous high-color 9+ ct EC stone.

Thanks again for all the kind comments. Hope everyone's weekend's a good one.
I'm not an expert, but I bet it would look amazing in an 18k yellow gold cup and a teeny tiny icy white halo! It looks like it might be warm enough to really boost it into the light yellow zone.
