Hello all,
First I want to say what an amazing resource the Pricescope forums are and how valuable they have been for me over the years. It really makes a difference to be able to learn from the experiences of others. Extra thanks to those who provided advice when I was first considering a sapphire right hand ring, more here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/thoughts-on-this-sapphire-ring.286649/
My husband and I married young, though thanks to Pricescope, my original engagement ring is a lovely ideal cut 0.9 ct diamond with pear side stones. I still think it’s perfect and didn’t want to upgrade it, but we wanted to celebrate our 15th anniversary with a real heirloom piece. I have long admired Victor Canera’s work, and I really wanted something hand-forged. I reached out to Victor, and he was so courteous and helpful. He sourced 10+ stone options within my budget and helped me select the right one. I loved his Alexia three stone halo design, but I decided to go with shield-cut side stones instead of half moons. Victor shipped the ring yesterday and I had it in hand today, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The craftsmanship is exquisite, the sapphire the perfect shade of blue, and I am so excited to be able to wear it. I ordered a matching band as well just to be able to change up the look. I can’t say enough good things about Victor and his team, what a seamless and professional process from start to finish, truly a class act.
These are the best photos I could manage indoors, it is bitterly cold out today. Capturing the true color in photos is a challenge! Will try to take some outdoor photos when the weather improves. Here is a link to a really great video Victor created: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5th3...mp4?rlkey=w2dlie5zs0osvhg4u8ha9f9cb&e=14&dl=0

Absolutely lovely and the precision construction is next level. The stone won't ever have a bad light. Just stunning.
