I know some people had been waiting to see these, but first of all, I have to thank the people posting here. I learned a lot from reading the many posts on this site before I made my purchase. I wouldn't have made this purchase without seeing all of the positive reviews of Wink's service and the reviews of this stone.

Okay, now the details. This is the 3.02ct Infinity stone that was previously known as "Stephan's Stone." I bought the stone from Wink and then worked with him to have a ring custom made. We combined some of what he thought would look good as well as what I was looking for and it turned out perfectly. I had a fairly aggressive timeline to get this project completed and Wink came through and got it to me before the promise date. The ring is made from platinum and has 5 princess cut stones on either side of the center stone. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out, nor could my girlfriend (now fiance). I have to thank Wink, Stephan, and Paul-Antwerp for this project. Wink is selling my 3.02ct (quite a coincidence huh?) Old European Cut stone if anyone is interested. Maybe he will post some pictures so that people can see the difference between the modern cut and the older cuts.

  Wink is selling my 3.02ct (quite a coincidence huh?) Old European Cut stone...

   Quite a coincidence    Could it be this one ?  Wink used the picture to show what his photographic system can do ... and rightly so. 
   It must have been one tough decission to part with that beauty !

What is the color/clairt on your stone? It is hard to tell from the finger prints....

Yeah, sorry about that. It is an M VS2. If you do a search for "Stephan's Stone" you should come across specs or

If I remember what Wink told me correctly, they are G-H.

Thank you for the kind words, it is nice to know that your ring came out so perfectly.

The hard part for me is that because of the timing I never got to see the ring.  My bench deliverd the ring straight to Quicksvo without me ever seeing it.  Kind of a strange feeling, having to wait until the pictures on Pricescope to see the ring created from a blend of two different styles of ring.

Sandy explained to me some of the technical difficulties in combining the two styles, I am pleased to see that he did such a great job.  Thanks for sharing them with us and lets hope that soon someone will be posting a picture of your wonderful Ole European cut in their own new ring!

Thanks!  I wish I was able to actually do that quality of work.  I work with some of the best benchmen in the country and it is THEY who actually do the work, I just get credit for it. 

There are times when jobs come in from the bench that they just take MY breath away.  This is truly such a great business!
