Hello Everyone!

I had a post awhile ago about my DH doesn''t want to reset my ER due to our tight budget. After some talks, he agreed to take it to a local jeweler and have it remade into a new setting using the same metal and same stone. My old ER was in a high 4-prong setting and would get caught on everything. In search of an alternative setting that would be my style, i decided to go with a semi bezel to avoid the prong problems. Same metal and same stone, so the sentiments are still there (it''s very important to DH). The remake cost a lot less than buying a new setting and adding sapphires, since they just needed to melt down my old ring and put it in a new mold. I waited for a month to get it back - and it is amazing! So comfortable to wear and no more catching on things because the semi bezel head is so smooth! Oh I also like how the diamond is like floating, which allows more light and more sparkles!

I''ve also included my other rings just for fun

I''d love to see before and after pics juxtaposed.
 
Thanks everyone for your kind words! In fact, before I got engaged, I never thought I would get a semi bezel ring. But after searching on the internet and looking at other people''s pics, I thought a semi bezel would be a great look and more importantly, no more claws!!!

Blueroses - here is a pic of my old ER. It is not a good shot and it doesn''t show its height very well. I have some other photos but I can''t find them at the moment. The old ER band was 4mm, which was quite thick and I didn''t like it. My new ER is 3mm band which means the diamond look bigger

And all your other rings are beautiful too!!
 
I really love your re-set!!! I like the fact that you used the metal from your old ring to make the new one. Semi-bezels are my new loves right now and yours is gorgeous!!! What does your wedding band look like? And do you wear your e-ring and wedding band together?
 
Beautiful! Was your original ER platinum? I was under the impression that jewelers didn''t like to melt down metal to remake rings. I''m thinking however, if it is yellow gold or platinum it might not be a problem. I could see white gold being a problem though.
