I am very excited to post about my reset FINALLY!

Had a lovely visit to NYC and decided last minute to visit my two favorite sources of eye candy while I'm there and finally get this show on the road. I'm glad I did, because what I liked in person was different than what I liked on the computer screen.

I had toyed with trading my e 1.5 radiant for a yellow 2+ ct for years. I am resetting the e, and getting a yellow for a RHR. (Will do a separate post on my visit to DBL).

It will be similar to this: I believe it is Lovey's Leon Mege (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Re: Steven Kirsch reset underway after four years of indecis

I desperately wanted to incorporate pink diamonds into the design. I had all of these inspiration pics. I was thinking white diamond halo, with pink diamond band. Steven very politely talked me out of it. I'm still loving that idea but I deferred to his judgement. What do you all think? As a compromise he will be doing a pink diamond basket. I mean he knows what he's talking about right?
His work in person was absolutely stunning. I tried on the pear milgrain halo ring on his website and wanted to go home with it. It was amazing!
Inspiration pics to give you some eye candy while I wait for my ring:

Re: Steven Kirsch reset underway after four years of indecis

I wouldn't do the first pink flower halo but just thought it was awesome. I apologize to fellow PS'rs whose rings I have saved but fail to give credit here. I didn't make a note of who they belong to.

So we decided to do a pink diamond band instead. I will wear this 99% of the time on my right hand (excuse to build a stack haha). But will wear with ring on occasion. I love this combo:

Re: Steven Kirsch reset underway after four years of indecis

:appl: I am completely biased, but it will be a gorgeous ring. This month I picked up a version by Victor Canera. Steven's version is very very pretty as well. We will be ring sisters, yay!
Mine has an Asscher Zircon.

Please come back with lots of handshots!!

I would totally trust Steven's judgement and keep it simple: the ring has enough going on. It will be stunning with the pink band. :love:

Re: Steven Kirsch reset underway after four years of indecis

Well, as a pink diamond lover I'm not going to talk you out of pink diamonds, although I wouldn't do the pink band on the style of ring that you chose. I don't think that would look right. The pink diamond basket will be gorgeous and since we frequently view our diamonds from the side- you'll see it all the time!!!! I love the design ring you chose and will look forward to seeing the photos! :love:
Didn't I read that Steven moved his office recently?

eta- Yay- just saw your post you added a pink diamond band as I was going to suggest that!!

Thank you!!!
I am so looking forward admiring yours! Will you have double or single claw prongs? And will you have metal or pave struts?

hi pinkjewel! I have more than one of your gorgeous pieces saved in my file as well! I was just showing my husband your cool photo of the florescence in your orchid ring.
I met him in the showroom I think it was called Allure or something like that?

I'm wrestling with doing a simple shared prong ( I think its called) or one with milgrained edges for the pink band.

Re: Steven Kirsch reset underway after four years of indecis

Acinom I will be doing double claw prongs, and the struts will be pink diamonds. He is going to do some kind of design, wasn't sure exactly what he was going to do. I'm just totally trusting his design sense. I'm an artist that does commission work and used to being on the other side of this! It's weird.
It should be done in two weeks (I dropped it off somewhere around July 1st) Next week he should have progress photos I will post when I get them.

aw, thanks!! I've just started another pink diamond ring- this time it's a light pink heart. A RHR for everyday because I usually just pull out my orchid for more special occasions. Can't seem to get enough of those pinks-lol. In fact I was just thinking I might want a pink eternity band, too. :twirl:

About your eternity band- I'd probably do the simple style like the one in the photo. I love the milgrain one, too- but since you'll have so much milgrain on your ring just a slim pink diamond band might be just the accent needed. You probably can't go wrong with either one.

Re: Steven Kirsch reset underway after four years of indecis

I agree with Pinkjewel regarding the type of band.
I would not make a decision before you have the ring on your finger as the ring is strong enough to wear on its own.

Thank you everyone for sharing in my excitement! I can't wait. I didn't get an exact date yet but about two weeks I would estimate.

You might enjoy some pics of Reena's ring as well. Hers is from Leon Mege and has a nice design in the gallery :

Petrock<3, I've been following your project with bated breath, because (based on recommendations from fellow PSers) I am also considering Steven Kirsch for a custom engagement ring that would feature pink stones in the basket.

So: did you receive those progress photos yet?????? (...he asked impatiently) =)

I'm so excited for you!!! I am preparing to do a reset of my OMB into a double Halo and want to incorporate pink diamonds in the basket, but I haven't decided how. I can't wait to see your beautiful design!

Petrock, sorry to bump your thread for no good reason, but I was wondering if you ever received any status update or progress photos from SK? I hope your project is still moving along without snags.
Let us know. :wavey:
