Hello everyone!
I am so delighted to be able to share with you my Victor Canera Emilya! I had my original e-ring reset for a few reasons, and I am so extremely delighted with the results. I got the Emilya halo with single cut pave, plus a matching band. I also got Victor to make me a custom spacer, as I wanted pave on the donut. The spacer allows me to wear my band and my e-ring together while mitigating the resulting damage. That said, although wanting to wear a band with my e-ring was one of the issues that drove me to consider a reset, I'm finding that my preference now is to wear my e-ring on it's own, as it just sets off my center stone so wonderfully well. Still, I love having the bands and the option to wear them when the mood strikes. I also like the option of being able to wear the pave band on it's own, as I have a two year old and so often wearing my e-ring is not practical.
I chose single cut pave in order to have something a bit different, and I'm really glad that I did. The pave sparkles like crazy and is a good complement to my center stone, I think. I also had Victor leave a tiny space at the back of the band in case I ever need to resize it. For reference, the size of the rings is 5 1/8.
Before I give particulars on my stone specs, I just wanted to say what an extreme pleasure it was to work with Victor. To say that he was both professional and accommodating would be an understatement. We exchanged over one hundred e-mails, in addition to several phone calls. He was always quick to respond, answer questions and offer his professional opinion when it was requested. Not once did he make me feel as if I was disturbing him or keeping him from anything more important (although I"m sure that I very often was!). I had some particular needs regarding shipping my stone, and regarding trying to find a gemstone to fit into my original setting, and he went out of his way to accommodate my needs on both counts. I also had a set timeline for completion of the ring, and he met that deadline. I hope to be able to have him work on more projects for me in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting unparalleled quality combined with absolutely stellar customer service. He is a master craftsman, and a consummate professional to boot.
I will post the stone specs below for anyone who might be interested. As always, a huge THANK YOU to all of the Pricescopers and also to all of the VC Emilya owners who shared their feedback, advice, photos, and experiences. I would not have found Victor without your help, and I would not have pursued this reset without your guidance. I special thank you to frankie whose detailed photos and description of her e-ring journey has proven so helpful for the many of us who adore the Emilya so much that we wish to make it our own! Pricescope is an amazing and very special community... but then we all know that, right?!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my new rings...
