Greetings from the Netherlands! And a new ring...

[karee888]

Hi all!

I''m writing to you from the Netherlands!

I got the square cushion tourmaline from Barry set. Of course, I got the call that it was finished on the way to the airport.

My jeweler sent me some pics, and I can''t wait to see it! [on June 11...

]

First, Barry''s pics...

Pretty!

I looooooove- nice color shift! Is that a setting made for a princess? I have a stone that shape as well, and am unsure what sort of stock setting it would require.

 

[Porridge]

ooooh lovely, great stone looks great in that setting.

 

[D&T]

oh WOW!

I love everything about this ring.. love the setting and the stone looks amazing in it... can''t wait to see handshots!

 

[cushioncutnut]

It turned out beautifully! Well ...at least you will have something to look forward to when you come back!!

 

[mochi]

I love your ring...so pretty!!

 

[marcy]

Very pretty. I love the color.

Enjoy your lovely ring!! You need to pose it by the tulips.

 

[karee888]

Thanks, everyone!

I''m actually not sure what shape it was made for...I''ll have to ask. I just looked for "squarish" settings in their catalogue, and they did the rest.

I really love the profile. They sent a wax of the ring, but I wasn''t sure about it. I really like how it turned out.

[T L]

I''m cracking up over here!! What did he think, that you were wearing a coffee table for a ring? LOL!

i know, right! i don''t think he can judge proportion from photos like we can, since we look for settings and look at rings all the time. he''s cute.

 

[T L]

Well, I think your jeweler did a great job setting it, and I like how the corners look very protected by the prongs. Enjoy!!

 

[cinnamon013]

Great ring!

 

[chrono]

Yeah, it''s done. Maybe hubby isn''t used to seeing rings quite this magnified. He probably won''t remember it when you get back.

lol, that''s true! he''s the one that does all the metal work for the shop, so i assume his hands are always dirty. but he could have had the woman who works there model it.

thanks! barry has great stones.

Karee,
May I ask where you found the setting?

Karee,

Totally [just don''t laugh!]. I looked in their catalogues for one I liked, and this one is from uniquesettings.com

It''s this one: setting
