I have just placed my deposit for my custom setting.
You read that right. And this time I''m not joking.
Here''s the scoop.
The lovely, talented, and extremely personable Ocean Pearlman will be making me my setting.
It''s going to be a handmade custom halo setting with a high polish 2 mm shank in 90 Platinum / 10 Iridium (Pt900 / IridPlat)..
The halo is going to be octagonal, set with four bead hand pulled and set micro pave. The melee will be single cut .0067 carat (just over one half point), 1.15 mm G-H SI-1 stones.
The halo will look like a more delicate (smaller melee per my explicit request, I kept talking Ocean down on Melee size-- strange experience for her as most people was BIGGER stones, not smaller ones) version of the Harry Winston cushion halo (only octagonal). No metal edging from top view at all. And tiny beads holding each stone. Diamonds set at approximately a 30 degree angle.
Four claw prongs, one at each corner a la Leon Mage or Harry Winston.
I''m SO INCREDIBLY excited.
Both Wink and Ocean are just fabulously amazingly wonderful.
I clicked with Ocean from the first minute we started talking (Monday), and when today Wink''s qoute came in, I just had a feeling that this was the right path. It just left RIGHT.
I''m thrilled.
Special thanks to Neil Beaty and Storm for helping me understand different fabrication methods for jewlery. Niel will be appraising my diamond unset for me soon, and eventually the completed ring.
SO... next week my ring will go to Neil, then to Ocean... then the process will start. Ocean gave me a 4 week leadtime. But I''ve actually told her I prefer to have it before Thanksgiving, and that as long as I have it by then, I''ll be happy. Don''t want her to stress herself out over this. I''ve waited this long... what''s a few weeks!
SO... Surprised????
