Definitely made a difference! - the angle is everything. So glad he was able to do it and those strips! Lots of labor intensity!! Enjoy your ‘new’ ring!!

Have I asked you before about your band? Thickness? I love it!!

Thanks for measuring! The older bands had higher domes that make them so awesome. Seems like today’s plain bands are thinner and you don’t get the umph! from them. It does look great with your new ring as it needs no diamond competition! Glad you got your ring back - enjoy the 4th!!

Sooooooooooooo I did it!!

I redid the setting.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A very subtle change but it made a HUGE difference!!

I angled the sides down a bit so it's not so tall and it wraps my finger more.

Goodbye brass knuckles ring, hello, stunning gallery !

David Klass hand forged each individual strip you see on the gallery. He may or may not want to murder me for this... LOL!!!










the gallery is INSANE and my favorite part! David Klass outdid himself!!

Absolutely beautiful and that gallery is gorgeous. I reset my 5-stone twice for a very similar reason and don’t regret the extra $$$$ spent to get it right.

…. I seriously cannot put into words how much I love your new setting! It has a much more organic flow to it. David hit this out of the park … W O W!

You can dodge and weave with that beauty. Worth the risk

So, unfortunately i found my love much later in life after several long term heartbreaks. We will never have a 50th anniversary. We wont have children together. We wont get to grow up together, BUT we will grow old together, we will go grey together, and I would be happy with 1 year with this love. I have no words for how perfect he is for me. He is the most amazing partner to me. He's gorgeous, he's kind, he's funny, he's patient, he's affectionate. He's so perfect for me. Is he perfect, NO, I want to murder him at least once a week but thats real love!

Prior to him my longest relationship was 7 years, I actually had 7 years, 2 different six year relationships, and a 4 year. So all really long, but not right. After the 7 year, I decided to take a year off of dating. I told my coworker on a Thursday "I am READY ! I am ready to start dating!!" She said "Are you sure??' I said "Oh, yeah, if some cute guy asks me for my number, I am giving it to him..." Then on that Sunday I was at the gym and when I was leaving this guy held the door for me, he turned and smiled and my heart skipped a beat.
He said "That was impressive how many pullups you can do!"
I said "Well, you don't look *that* old, I bet you can do a decent amount!"
he said "not like that!"
I said "I challenge you to a pullup contest!"
He said "you're on!" .... and then he walked away to his car...
I was like "huh, i need to learn how to flirt"
The next Saturday I was in the gym, he walked up to me and said, "OK, pullups, lets go" He went first and did 9. I went second and stopped at 10... LOL
He still claims to this day i actually won, but i have my doubts!
Then he said "you should give me your number, we can go out sometime!" and I gasped, in my head I was like "SOME CUTE GUY JUST ASKED ME FOR MY NUMBER!" but he mistook my hesitation and was like "you dont have to give me your number...' I was like "NO!!! YES!! I want to !!" We had our first date and it was perfect. And its been perfect ever since.

We often marvel at how amazing we have it and we often think some people never get to have what we have. I feel so incredibly blessed by God to have him, we truly are perfect for each other. There is a whole other part to it that makes us feel God truly was who brought us together, but I will spare you all from making this a bigger story than it already is,,, does anyone ever read this sh!t or do you skip to the pics?? Anyway...

So I know 8 years is not a big deal to most of you but its a big deal to me and I wanted to celebrate it. Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my lab diamonds but i did want a true antique.

So on to the diamonds! Budget was my biggest concern, so these were not top quality perfect stones or anything! But i was able to get the size I wanted without feeling too bad! I also seem like i have more jewelry than I do because I buy things and realize I made a poor decision and then sell them, LOL!
Center: 4.37 Old Mine, M color (with fleur) SI1
One side: 2.01 Old Mine J color I2
Other side: 1.90 Old Mine L color VS1
Total carat weight 8.28
David Klass setting (OF COURSE!)
I might redo the setting, David did EXACLTY what I asked but i think i might have him bring the sides down lower, AGAIN, this is EXACLTY what I asked for, I am just changing my mind, LOL

Absolutely magnificent perfection!

 

[tyty333]

Love the new angle on the sides! And the gallery...so unique and cool!
(Truth be told, it's hard to get everything right on the first go-around!)

This is literally INSANE!!!!!!!!

I have no words! Except to say that I think you need to buy Queen Elizabeth’s Fringe tiara, as it would match perfectly

 

[Patty]

Great tweak to your original. That’s definitely a show stopper ring!

 

[Tonks]

Oh wow, this is amazing!!! I love love love the look on you.

Do you have a before and after gallery photo? I didn’t see before but totally could have missed it. The after gallery is just stunning. I couldn’t figure out what it reminded me of until Ally posted the tiara. That was it!!!!

What are the mm sizes of your stones? It’s a gorgeous ratio. I’m always curious with a big three stone because sometimes I think Viv may need company in the future…..maybe.
