Happy New Year 2017, everyone!
I thought it was finally time to reveal my latest reset--a custom Victor Canera platinum Emilya cathedral setting for my 4.7 ct WF ACA! I gave a little sneak peek of it in another thread recently but the full details/pics can now be found here (for inquiring minds)! Receiving my new VC reset has been a great way to "ring in the new year"!
The back story is that I've been contemplating a reset for my ACA for a while now. I've had several iterations of the 6 prong Tiffany setting for a couple of years and was looking to make a change. I have been a big fan of Victor Canera's work ever since 2011--he has made several exquisite, hand forged masterpieces for me in the past that I continue to cherish to this day. I at one point in time owned an Emilya and knew that the Victor's micropave Emilya halo was THE one for me again!
When the opportunity arose for a family vacation trip to California during the holidays, I made it a priority to include a visit to Victor's office in Los Angeles! Victor was kind enough to make my setting months prior to my visit using the measurements of my diamond. He then placed the finishing touches on my ring by the end my trip, even despite the Christmas holidays!
Meeting him in person was like seeing an old friend since we have worked on various projects over the years. I could tell that he has a real passion for his work/brand (as well being a dedicated family man) after spending time with him during our visit! He also graciously allowed me to browse several pieces of his inventory (CAC's, CER's, in stock jewelry) that I was interested in seeing--I will showcase more bling photos later! I would love to own more custom hand forged jewelry from him in the future! Watch out, DH!
So I'd like to give many thanks to Victor and his staff for my new Emilya--the end result is spectacular and beyond my wildest dreams!!!
Also, I want to give credit to where credit is due to my dear friend, Diamondseeker, for her valuable input throughout this whole process!
A girl can't go wrong when you have 2 diamond experts helping you with your custom project!
Here are the brief stats on my ring:
4.7 ct ACA I VS-1
Cathedral Emilya setting in platinum, size 6.25
No pave on donut to allow flush fit of matching platinum VC spacer band
