The backstory:
I lost my engagement ring almost a year ago, and so figuring we would be celebrating our 15th anniversary and a milestone birthday for me, we would replace it. I spent months educating myself via Pricescope and searching, and found the diamond I was looking for at Old World Diamonds.
Diamond specs:
GIA certified
Old Mine Brilliant
6.28 x 6.11 x 3.81
1.06 carat
H
VS2
Strong blue fluorescence
I saw Victor's name come up several times, all with glowing reviews of his work, his easy-going personality, and his accessibility. Based on the pictures of his work, and those reviews, I didn't consider anyone else.
The original inspiration for the ring was the Harry Winston, but I don't like a lot of metal showing. I figured if I was going to go with Victor Canera, I may as well go all out. I was enamoured with the shank on his Gabrielle ring and asked if that could be done along with a two sided pave halo (but rounded, and not at a right angle). He knew immediately the look I was going for, and I left the rest up to him. The ring is beyond anything I could have imagined, and Victor was a dream to work with. He kept me updated on the progress, and responded immediately to any questions I had, mostly within minutes of my email.
Here is a glamour shot that Victor sent me:

and finally a close-up of the pave work:
The ring is more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined, and I am thrilled with it. I am having trouble uploading my own photos, but I hope to post them soon.
