I don't know how I missed seeing this! What a gorgeous ring! You have the most enviable colored stone ring collection!

 

[MollyMalone]

Oh, it's wonderful in every respect: stone, ring design & execution. CONGRATS on its rightful recognition as Jewel of the Week!

 

[CRYSTAL24K]

What a gorgeous and romantic ring! All the delicate details are perfect. It looks fantastic on you also! Enjoy.

 

[NKOTB]

apacherose - thanks, it was fun, for the most part! There was a point, though, I'll admit, that I wasn't sure how it was all going to turn out. The first execution of the first design didn't turn out as expected, and there were several revised CADs before going in a different direction, and I started to feel like I was being picky or demanding or wishy washy, even though no one made me feel that way. Everyone's patience paid off, though, as yes, I am thrilled with the results.

Thanks, dk!

Lovinggems - thanks, I saw that this morning. I'm very flattered!

ILG - thanks, and yes... go team!

Enerchi - I'll be out your way this fall. Thanks for the compliment. You know the same people, btw! lol. Even with the exchange rate, DK's pricing and Elle's design fee are quite reasonable.

Thanks, bbbziggy, DS, Crystak24k, and MollyMalone!

A few macro shots...the stone is still showing up considerably more purplish pink in the pictures than what my eye sees IRL.

 

[VRBeauty]

It's a beautiful stone and an absolutely stunning setting!

So glad this made the jewel of the week or I would have missed it as I don't visit SMTB often enough. NKOTB, the ring is stunning. I love the setting you chose, it is interesting and delicate so it sets off the pad perfectly.

Same here, followed the picture from the CS forum. Drop dead gorgeous.

This ring is amazing! Love everything about the setting--prongs, gallery, etc. Congrats!

Stunning ! Is there a design line from this collab?

 

[NKOTB]

Lovedogs - thanks!
