Hi all,

I posted a while ago (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/e-w-oval-reset-or-e-w-oval-diamond-possibly-eternity-band.93225/) about how my 4 prong cathedral setting for my oval was getting in the way at work. I was finally relagated to putting it on my necklace each day - GASP! So I set out to find a new cost efficient setting that would allow me to be able to wear it on MY HAND everday (and of course if you''re resetting at least a couple of little diamonds on the side wouldn''t hurt). After a lot of fruitless local jewelry searching ( I DO NOT RECOMMEND JOINT VENTURE ESTATE JEWELRY in CARY - they were rude to me, after they were the one who doubled their originial custom quote!!!), I ended up in my hometown of Winston Salem, NC at Camel Pawn Shop. Ron Clein has helped my stepdad (and me as his assistant) pick out jewelry for my mom several times before. We were able to combine a couple of his in-stock Martin Flyer styles to make a beautiful custom piece (sent to Martin Flyer - who did the work). Although, I''m not generally a trendy person, and originally shied away from halo''s at first, I was thrilled with the price I was quoted. And the ring came out even better than expected, and the service from Ron and Camel Pawn Shop was top notch.

Lesson learned don''t ever go anywhere but a pawn shop, and its always better to do business with some who knows you and has your best interests at heart!!!

Very neat! I would not have even known Pawn shops did custom work or worked with big designers!
 
Oh, that is just lovely! A very elegant setting with a twist. In some of your shots, it looks almost round - is it a fat oval, or are the pictures being distorted as you post? ''Cause, me, I will take any excuse to see more of that lovely ....
 
The ratio is about 1.4 length to width, so its I guess about average, to slightly squatty for an oval.
The dimensions are 8.21x5.8x3.51

Maybe distortion...

I''m just an amateur photographer, but will definitely post more pictures. I forgot to show the inside of the ring, mostly because I don''t like taking it off, it took about a month from dropping it off to getting back, and I felt naked the whole time!!!
 
Looks very pretty! I bet your thrilled to have your ring on your finger at work again!!!!
 
What a fabulous ring, love it!
 
It''s GORGEOUS!

Very pretty, the halo really makes your diamond look huge. Glad you had such a great experience at the pawn shop.

What an interesting new setting--you don''t see many of those around! It''s very pretty, and it does a great job highlighting your stone. I''d love to see some pics from the top if you have any.
