WOW. Talk about a dream ring. It's going to be one knock out ring when it is done. I adore my own SK and I'm loving your pics of the hand made process!

I REALLY can't wait to see this! The ruby is beautiful and the traps are just perfect. It's an incedibly well balanced ring and I've got serious ring envy! The step by step photos are such a unique touch. Does he do this for everyone?

OMG... This is very exciting! I am a huge fan of your e/c ruby and I love what you decided to do! Can't wait to see the next phase in this project.

Me too! Gah-I love rubies. I cannot wait to see the finished ring! Love the process pics-thanks for sharing!!

I am quite found of rubies myself, there is just something about the way they look, they have an sense of motion to them. :lickout:
I am counting down the days! It ought to be here on Wednesday!

I love seeing the process of making your ring!
Me too! I did not even ask about these, it was just his way of updating me on the progess!

I don't know anything about metal working, so how do you get from the platinum ball to the head? This is fascinating.
I think you would have to ask Steven about that!

It's going to be lovely! The proportions of the 3 stones looks terrific.
Thank you I am dying waiting to see how it will look! Steven matched the side stones to the center for me! :appl:

I can't wait to see the finished product. I am tossing around the same idea with a tourmaline so seeing your finished ring will be good.
I think this style would be lovely with a tourmaline, what shape is your stone?
I don't have one yet. I really want an emerald or.cushion cut blue tourmaline but I cannot seem to find the right color and shape.

Oh that is tough! Maybe you could contact your favorite vendor and ask for them to search for you???

Thank you Gypsy I like your SK ring too! I have two, and I was so happy with them I decided to go for a third! We really are lucky to have such pretty things aren't we?

Loving Diamonds! Four more days and I will down the PS servers with photos! I think the ruby is lovely as well. I had contacted three vendors about wanting an emerald cut ruby...Arnold at AJS Gems came through! Oh I just love it in person. SK took what I wanted and ran with it, perfection! I don't know if he does the step wise photos for each client, but my first guess would be no. I have two other rings from him and he did not do step by step pictures, then again I did not ask. So perhaps he would do this for the clients that ask? He seems very helpful and willing to accommodate his clients.

That really is breathtaking. I cannot wait for handshots of that bad boy. The traps are like the perfect size. PERFECT.

I think he did a fantastic job. SK has a wonderful eye for proportion. Shall I admit that I was worried that the traps would be too large based on the picture he sent me? I am so glad I took a step back and let him do his thing. Clearly the man knows what he is doing.

I'd have to agree. I saw the side by side and thought they might be too large also but in a completed ring it looks perfect.

Thank you Loving Diamonds! I am super excited!
I bought the ruby from Arnold at AJS Gems and the setting was made by Steven Kirsch of Timeless Luxury.
Steven was a joy to work with he took my request of what I wanted and ran with it. Yea Steven!

Rubies are the only colored stones I care for, and EC's are my favorite cut. You've got one fabulous combination there IMO. Just lovely...

Wow, perfection. I love your ring! The ruby is a beauty and I love those prongs. It's really something to see that very fluid looking ball of platinum turned into such a piece.
