Back in December, I was lucky enough to have been able to get the original Burk. I had been wanting a lovely OEC for a while and could not pass up that opportunity. It took me a while to decide on a setting, but I ended up going to Single Stone and am very pleased with the final product--after tweaking the bezel a bit!

Had the stone graded by EGL while it was down in LA also, and it came out to be a 2.04 ct M color, VS1 stone. It has "poor" symmetry but I cannot tell with the bezel. I snapped these photos right after I ripped open the package at work, so it's the best I could do with my phone. Will do a better photoshoot later...

Single Stone was lovely to work with and I highly recommend them. They were very patient and wanted to make sure I was totally happy with the ring at the end. I was definitely nervous going into this project as I was not able to visit their store and try on a bunch of styles to figure out what I loved most. But now I know i made the right choice!!!

Oh, you did GOOOOOOD, MrsM! The Burk was one of my two favorite rings of all time, so I was sooooo sad when I saw Burk was selling it.

But I must say: You have done it justice! I love the new setting. It really suits the stone, and lets it shine.

Love it! Beautiful, beautiful ring. Well done!

Guess I should have said "original Burk" :lol: . Here are a few more photos I took...more coming later. I know bezels aren't for everyone, but I am absolutely in love with how delicate Single Stone can make theirs! The detailing on the ring is unbelievable.

I agree, Single Stone make amazing pieces, and yours is no exception! Your beauty is getting me very excited for this fall when I set my OEC in one of their settings.
