My gorgeous Victor Canera EC reset

[IDtoTX]

I've been going back and forth on resetting my original EC for a while now. I thought about upgrading but I'm very sentimental about this diamond. I finally made the decision in May to go with Victor for my reset and then had to decide on the setting. I was choosing between Victors Anya and Sophia designs - I really wanted french cuts. Here's the original thread for reference...[URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-needed-with-ec-reset.189305/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-needed-with-ec-reset.189305/[/URL]

I got a lot of great advice and decided to follow my gut and go with the Sophia. I really need to thank everyone here at PS! I don't think I could have gotten up the nerve to do this without all of the support here. So, THANK YOU!!!

I just received the finish product today and I'm head over heels with it!

First of all, here's the video that Victor sent me...

And the glamour shot from Victor...

A beautiful reset!! The French cuts accent the EC much better IMO. Very excited to see the actual finished product and handshots!!!

I have to say that working with Victor really was fantastic. As everyone says, he was very easy to work with, very responsive and I trusted him completely. My little stone is not the most glamorous that he's ever worked with but I feel like he gave it the time and attention it deserved.

Highly, highly, highly recommend him!!!!

Ok, a couple more pics - I can't seem to get pictures to do it justice though.

Thanks Pandabee! Its hard for me to believe that this is the same diamond! It sparkles so much more and throws off so much more color now that it's out of the bezel!

[IDtoTX]

Thanks everyone. I can't stop looking at it. it's made me fall in love with my diamond all over again. Plus, I love those frenchies!!!

It's gorgeous IDtoTX. I had already seen the video in the 'waiting for a custom ring' thread, but I was waiting impatiently for the pics!!! The ring is just soooo pretty and looks great on your hand. The french cuts are great in combination with an EC!! You and Mimi are true ringsisters now!

I love that the ring is dainty but also substantial: great finger coverage!!!

Would be great to revive Yssie's inspiration thread again and add your gorgeous ring!

Could you also post some pics there? ( I think it would be nice to add Carat Lovers Sophia and Bright Ice's OEC Sophia upgrade as well. I hope they will add theirs too ).

Enjoy and wear in good health IDtoTX. I hope you will post more pics!

I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Begonia]

I think I have a new favorite on PS

I adore EC's, adore his work, adore the side stones you chose, and think the size would be just about perfect on me

Absolutely fabulous!

 

[IDtoTX]

Thanks again everyone! This whole experience has been so much fun and so smooth. Makes me want another project - maybe an eternity band to go with it?

I wish I could take better pictures. They really don't do the ring or the diamond justice. When I have some time I'll update those other threads.

Ok...back to work...but really back to staring at my finger!

 

[backwardsandinheels]

Here are a couple more hand pics..they are taken with my iphone so not the best quality. I may need to invest in a macro lens...my cameras are not cutting it!
