#TBT My New Victor Canera 25th Anniversary Upgrade!

[MK514]

Hi All,

I have been visiting this site for quite some time trying to figure out what my dream ring would look like. My 25th Anniversary is not until next year but we are starting the celebration early.
My former ring which I still have, is a 2.5 round brilliant in a Jeff Cooper setting. I fell in love with halos and started out wanting to reset the round diamond. Well that snowballed, because I thought if I'm going to go reset I better be happy with the diamond size. I started shopping for a cushion diamond and settled on a GIA 4.50 ct. J/SI2.

Next came the setting. I originally wanted a big substantial setting (slightly gaudy) to make the round diamond look bigger. That all changed when I purchased the cushion. Now I was looking for an understated setting to show off the diamond. I looked at so many settings I lost my mind.

Thanks to you all, I met with Victor Canera. I would have never found him on my own and appreciate you all for highly recommending him. Victor did an amazing job on my ring and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Also, a special thanks to my husband who just wanted me to be happy and gave me the green light.

I have not mastered the art of diamond photography so here's the best I can do for now.

ah! just had to come back and drool over that VC "****" shot of your ring... TDF!!! That would be my lottery winning setting - I love his claws, pave work and the way he does a split shank.

Beautiful! I am a split shank lover - my last diamond (traded in) and current diamond are split shanks. Your center stone is amazing! Do you have more specs on it? What will you do with your original ring? Lucky girl wear it in the best of health!

And happy 25th! What a wonderful milestone! We are coming up on 27!

Some better shots of my ring.
I'm not sure what I will do with other ring. I have 2 daughters, so somebody will make use of it.
Thanks again to all of you for recommending Victor.
He did a great job, my ring is soo sparkly, the pictures don't do it justice!
I never discussed the height of the diamond in the setting with Victor and I was somewhat concerned but decided to let the expert do his thing after I signed the contract. He set it perfectly. I wanted it low because of the diamond size and that's what he did.
This Pricescope is a dangerous place because I'm already thinking about my next piece of jewelry!

 

[Enerchi]
