Need help w/ Victor Canera Emilya Halo 2.05 ct HA Cushion

Hello everyone!

I am a long time lurker. After 9 months I finally sourced a stone from JannPaul. It is a Brellia 2.056 ct Cushion, G, VS2. I have included some images for you. I think I did okay on the stone. Now I need some help with the perfect setting.









After a bunch of research I have decided to go with the Victor Canera Emilya Halo in Platinum. Victor's craftsmanship seems precise and gives a delicate appearance.

My future fiance has a ring size of 5.75 and I think this will look great on her!

I am looking for some assistance with a few questions that I have from others who have used Victor. They are as follows:
1.) Is it important to tell Victor the angle of the melee around the main stone? I have seen people who note 25 degrees. Is this his default?
2.) Should the melee stones be a G color as well?
3.) What is the best way to ensure that the wedding band can sit flush? From my research on here I have seen that for sure there should not be pave around the doughnut but it appears without a spacer if you are to proceed then you will have to give up the doughnut similar to [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/im-now-a-member-of-the-victor-canera-club.176673/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/im-now-a-member-of-the-victor-canera-club.176673/[/URL]
4.) Band thickness of 1.9 mm due to finger size?
5.) Anything else I should be aware of? Specify size of melee, etc?

I am getting extremely excited as she has had her heart set on a Brellia stone and she thinks that no one had any inventory in the carat range we were looking in so I anticipate she will be quite surprised!

Re: Need help w/ Victor Canera Emilya Halo 2.05 ct HA Cushio

Congratulations!! :appl: This is such an exciting time and you are creating a very special and beautiful ring. Very lucky future fiance! :love: As far as all of your questions, Victor will be able to answer them the best. As you begin the design process each of these questions will come up and he will be able to help and advise you. He does have an Emilya design that will allow for a wedder to sit flush and I believe that he uses F/G VS melee, so those should be easy. As far as the tilt, I've seen different degrees so it's preference and he will be able to tell you which he thinks would be most visual appealing for you specific stone. I like a 1.8-2mm shank as well. Will the setting be plat? VIctor is amazing and I think that once you've had a chance to discuss the project with him you will become much more comfortable and leaving many of the minute details in his hands. It's going to be a spectacular ring and I"m looking forward to hearing about your progress!! :love: Great stone too btw!

Victor is an amazing designer and one who I would not have to tell a thing! He knows the size melee to use with different sizes of stones. All if his Emilya's have been beautiful! You picked an outstanding diamond and with a VC setting, you will have an extremely high quality ring! :appl:

Looks like am amazing stone. Honestly, I wouldn't worry so much - just tell him to make the ring like "Frankie's".

#3 - Steven Kirsch also has a design to have the wedding band sit flush. It is my favorite and this ring was for sale recently.

I had a PM from someone that I may want to consider a stone of that quality as a Solitaire instead of the Halo. Does anyone have an opinion on this?
 
Re: Need help w/ Victor Canera Emilya Halo 2.05 ct HA Cushio

Beautiful stone! Those arrows and heart images are so nice! It makes me wish I had gotten a Hearts and Arrows cushion instead of my Hearts and Arrows round..haha.

I've been suggested the same thing--set my round diamond in a solitaire because why hide such a beautiful diamond. I disagree. I think it will look equally beautiful in a halo setting, especially with Victor's halo. He's the best in my eyes.

I'm having Victor do my Emilya round, too. Keep us updated!

I think that stone will be enhanced by the halo setting. If it were a 2+ ct. ideal round facing up larger than a cushion, I might feel differently. But I think that stone will look better in the Emilya than in a solitaire any day. And I like the way Victor makes them better than the one Charmy posted of Stevens. I don't like them so flush that they look like one wide band.

sorry for threadjacking and bumping a month-old thread, but Pauly_Walnutz, I have a few questions for you (was about to pm you when I figured out this site doesn't allow pms!!)

I was wondering, do you have any insight that you can give me on your experience with JannPaul?

Did you have to wait a long time for them to source you the Brellia that you wanted? How was the transaction, smooth? Any problems that you encountered?

Any feedback is appreciated as I am looking to source a Brellia from them as well! (my max budget is around $30K, so I hope to get something similar to what you got)

thanks in advance!

btw, lovely diamond!! :love:

We don't hear much about JannPaul on here. I think GOG sells Briella though ... try contacting them?

I contacted both! :)

They are both currently checking to see whether or not they can custom cut a Brellia for me w/ the specs that I want. I just wanted a little info on JannPaul in case I have to fall back on them as a last resort.
