Holy Crap! My revamped wedding band from David Klass!

[ringbling17]

So, I got this in the mail today as well! It's amazing! I can't believe how beautiful it looks and it's a perfect match color wise with my rose gold WF setting.
Back in 2000 when I graduated from nursing school my husband got me a new wedding set. I had a .90 OEC diamond and set it into the head.
Over the years I haven't worn it as much bc my style has changed and I've gotten other rings.
Last month I decided to contact David Klass when I was thinking of upgrading. I initially wanted him to set my new upgrade into the Dahlia setting I had but then changed my mind when I decided to get a bigger diamond.
Well, I still wanted to use him for a project so I asked him if he could take the diamonds from my old wedding set and make me a band instead.
And this is the band! It's absolutely beautiful and it turned out better than I thought it would because the diamonds were not all the same size. The milgrain is perfect too!
David is now working on setting my .90 from this old set into a bezel set pendant.
And his turn around time from the time I approved the Cad was only two weeks!

Here is my old set and my inspiration band that he had made for someone else on PS.

Here are his pictures of the ring. He had to add one more princess cut diamond to make it a full eternity. According to his appraisal the ring is solid 18k rose gold weighing 2.7 grams, set with 1.17cts of H color, VS-SI clarity princess cut diamonds, sized between 5.5 and 5.75.
And best of all- he even bought back the gold from my old wedding set so the ring was under $500 to make including 2 day UPS shipping. And he even sent me all the little tiny diamonds!

And the ring when I received it. It looks great with my new upgrade too!

 

[ringbling17]

With my new upgrade!

 

[ringbling17]

The little diamonds that he sent that were left over from the old set plus his appraisal! Wow! He's my new favorite designer!

David did an amazing job with the band!
I love your newly upgraded solitaire. What a beauty. It's indeed a great match together

Gorgeous band! Looks perfect with your solitaire! Only 2 weeks?! It's 2 weeks today since David got my stones and we finalized the CADs, now I'm really getting impatient!

Wowza! Your new set is BEAUTIFUL! I am impressed with David Klass!

 

[ringbling17]

Thanks everyone! I think I'm more excited about this little band than my upgrade! I can't believe that something I've had that represents a great accomplishment in my life could be made into something so freaking spectacular!

Don't be impatient. He is worth waiting for. I approved the final CAD April 7th and the ring was ready April 24th.
So more like two and a half weeks!

The band is substantial yet delicate at the same time - looks great! Congrats on two new rings in one day!

What an awesome repurposing job!!! It's beautiful and looks bomb with your new honker!!!

 

[ringbling17]

Thank you everyone! I keep looking at my hand and can't believe that they are the same diamonds. This ring really makes such a difference in the way the diamonds look.

I saw this on David's Fbook & dearly hoped it would pop up on here! It's absolutely heavenly & of all the band combinations you have with your beautiful new solitaire, this one is by far my favourite. It's just effortless & oozes class. Love!

Such a beautiful upgrade! Your set is stunning!

 

[ringbling17]

A few better pictures that I took! The milgrain on this band is amazing!

 

[Diamondz1]

Omg that's awesome! I love the idea of repurposing something that doesn't get much wear - and it turned out beautifully! ...Now I want something in rose gold with milgrain

 

[LLJsmom]

It is so beautiful!! And such a great idea too! David did a spectacular job. Congratulations on getting to wear this everyday!

I commented on your other thread last night and missed this one! This band is one of the best repurposing of diamonds I have ever seen! I love it and it looks fantastic with your solitaire!!!

 

[luv2sparkle]

Beautiful! What a great way to take your sentimental stones and be able to wear them with your new upgrade!

 

[Hayley87]

Wowzerz, what a reset!! And that upgrade is amazing, too!

 

[ringo865]

Ooh both your honkin ACA and new DK band are ANAZING!!!!

Uhm, maybe now you can send him back the little baby stones and make a mini eternity ... just tryin to help

 

[Bonfire]

I am seriously lusting over your band!
Congratulations on 25 years! Your new ACA upgrade and band are swoon worthy!
