#JOTW A cotton candy pink Mahenge spinel ring from David Klass

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

Perfection! I love everything about this ring.

 

[Sunshinelab]

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love it! It is so wonderful to hear you had such an amazing experience, and it all worked out beautifully! I recently had an experience similar to this where I didn’t catch things in the CAD phase too, the designer was fantastic as well. This ring is stunningly beautiful, and I’m so glad you found the pink you were looking for and a breathtaking setting.

A couple more pics at work. Thank you Mrs. Hanging plant for the backdrop.

2nd times a charm, right?!
I'm so happy DK was able to fix what needed to be fixed...looks like they hit another one right out of the park!!! It's So pretty!! Love the various pink tones and the setting! Congrats and enjoy @elle_71125 !!!

 

[mrs-b]

Congratulations, @elle_71125! What a lovely ring! And I love that beautiful center stone.

Rectangular or square stones set in flowery clusters of diamonds have ever had some power over me - they are a shape real flowers do not do (often,) yet... - & the slight surprise of the shape keeps the jewels intriguing.

The colour is outstanding!

Thank you everyone for such sweet compliments. I’m slowly working my way through to writing back to everyone. Gosh, I love the PS community.

Fabulous! Great ring just in general and the last one... great! I cannot wait for more photos. Would be interesting to see the original version that you had remade, too, if you're willing and able. I always love a happy ending!

I should have thought of that myself. Here’s a couple pics of the original. It’s still beautiful in its own right...it just wasn’t for me.

Perfection. I’d love to hear how this ring feels to wear. It is exquisitely designed. Impeccable color combination with rose and platinum complimenting the amazing color of the spinel and each other! Wear it with joy and health!

Thank you so much. I put a lot of time into this project so I’m glad it paid off. To answer your question, it’s actually very comfortable to wear...and finger coverage galore! It does tilt a little on me (which you can see in the hand shots). To be fair, all my rings tilt on me because I size them up so they can get over my knuckles (damn you knuckles! ). Sadly, the sizing beads can only do so much so they still tilt a bit.

That’s delicious! Beautiful job choosing the setting. It’s perfect.

Thank you so much!

Oooh this is lovely Elle! Gorgeous color, love the cut and the design and the combo of plat. & rose gold! Looking forward to finger shots and perhaps a group shot of the pink family

Thank you! I’ll definitely work on getting that group shot with the pinks.

I love all of them!

Second a group shot.

Thank you. Group shot coming soon.

 

[elle_71125]

Sheer gorgeousness

You’re too sweet. Thank you.

I'm obsessed and would love a pink spinel! Congratulations - it's an absolutely beautiful ring and I just love the true pink color

Just watch out because pink is addictive...like potato chips.

I’m really loving platinum and rose gold together. Your ring is perfection! You and DK did great.

The color combo turned out even better than I’d hoped. Thank you!

I freaking love your version it’s the most perfect setting ever for your newest addition! Your other spinels are all amazing as well but this takes the cake!!! I may borrow this idea for something of color down the road congrats! You have the most glorious colored collection and I love all your rings!!!!!!
I’m so glad DK remade it it’s perfect now! Well done love the Rose gold and platinum combo!

Wow! Thank you so much!! I was hoping you’d like it since it was greatly inspired by your original version. And feel free to borrow the idea any time you like...it’s only fair.

Btw, your new diamond ring is killer!! I’m totally in love with that double row of milgrain. Classic and gorgeous!

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

Oh, Elle, that is freaking gorgeous!
I remember when you first got that pinkilicious stone and were contemplating how to set it. Great choice! I love the the rose gold / platinum too. DK did a great job!

 

[JPie]

Stunning!!

 

[bling_dream19]

You’re too sweet. Thank you.

And I love potato chips too

[sarahb]

That is a beautiful ring, love that stone, the color is really striking!!

 

[bunnycat]

Beautiful ring! The pink and gold is perfect!

 

[goldenfire]

WOW!!! This is so fantastic!!! That color is amazing and the setting is soooooo beautiful. I always loved D&T's (former) yellow emerald ring and that pink looks stunning in a similar setting. I like the additions and changes you made as well. Gorgeous....and I loved the comment about the PS turnover rate lol. Isn't that the truth lol?!

 

[missy]

Hot pink da** that is one GORGEOUS ring @elle_71125
PINKalicious in every way.





More photos pretty pretty please.

 

[Lykame]

@elle_71125 gosh I see what you mean about the stems! That's really unusual... ... Honestly can't say that I like it, no offense to anyone who does. It would have bothered me immensely and I think you made the right decision to have it remade! I'm glad DKJ were very supportive of that process!

 

[RunningwithScissors]

Beautiful and oh so feminine! Love your new addition!

If you ever grow tired of your "Cherry Bomb," let me know, I love it and I'll buy it!

 

[HNGN]

OMG!!! STUNNING!!!! I love the color combi and the whole ring has HUGE pretty finger coverage!!!

 

[wordie89]

Elle, er, um...Love ALL the stones you shared!! The ring is very pretty on your hand. Enjoy, enjoy!

 

[elle_71125]

WOW! that gem was in my favorites on Etsy for a quite a long time but I have never made a purchase from GranGem & don't spend that much time on Etsy. I kind of forgot about it. You turned it into a truly stunning ring! I'm calling Dibs! haha! Emerald cut is my favorite shape and I love what you did with it here!

Thank you so much. That’s quite a compliment coming from someone who loves emerald cuts.

What a pretty stone! The setting is beautiful for it- D&T’s was gorgeous, but I love the tweaks you did.
I, also, would like to see the original CAD and version if you are ok with that?. It’s a learning process to see, and I find it interesting.
DKJ is just so easy to work with - love them!

Is that his 18k rose?

Thank you for the compliments. Here’s the oringinal version. I’m pretty sure this was the approved CAD but they get a bit jumbled together after a while. Also, I used 14k rose gold. I wanted the gold to be as close to pink as possible and I find DK’s 18k gold to be a little more champagne than I was looking for.

Totally stunning ring!!

Thank you so much!

Gah that is GORGEOUS!!!

Thank you. You’re so sweet.

I love the color of the stone and the setting is sublime! Truly beautiful!

Thank you! It took forever to nail down a design and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

[elle_71125]

Gorgeous, we need handpics!!!!

Thank you. I’ve been working on pics. It’s so hard to capture what my eyes see vs what the camera is seeing. Guess it’s one of those gems.

What a color!!! What a setting!!!
Pls do a family shot!

Oh, you’re asking for it now. I’ll have to work on a new family shot ASAP.

Beautiful!

Thank you.

I love it! It’s gorgeous. I have that original ring saved too lol

Enjoy!!! The stone is a beautiful color.

@D&T had a gorgeous original. You can’t go wrong with that in your inspiration folder.

That’s gorgeous!! What a fabulous ring. Amazing detailing. Love the side view as well. And what a stone!!!

We need handpics and a family pic

Thank you so much! I’ll work on a family shot ASAP but I do have a pink rings group shot coming up...

 

[Rfisher]

Thank you @elle_71125
It’s all helps in the big learning curve!
Now I’m curious to see an example of DK’s 18k rose for comparison- you wouldn’t happen to have it as well?

 

[elle_71125]

Quite a few people asked for a group shot with the pinks / pinky reds so here you go...

 

[Rfisher]

PS
If I see it correctly that you tweaked the shoulder melee size from first to second casting- spot on choices!

Actually, I do! I took a video of the original ring (with stems) along with my mint garnet ring. The mint is 18k rose gold. Hope this helps.

 

[budmanbudman10]

Love this ring! Amazing stone and setting choice. Plus emerald/octagon cut is my favourite

 

[princessandthepear]

Gorgeous! I have admired that gem for quite some time and am so glad that you got it and hope that you share more pictures of it.

 

[elle_71125]

I absolutely love your rings! I adore all shades of pink. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I never knew I’d have such a thing for pinks but here I am.

I normally don't really gravitate to pink, but that's a beautiful ring! The setting is very special!

Thank you so much.

HI:

Lovely!

cheers--Sharon

Thank you.

That is gorgeous!! I love how you get both the elegant emerald cut stone softened by the halo...simply perfect.....and that color!!

It was definitely a process. I’m not a fan of emerald shapes but this gives it the perfect outline for me. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning!

Thank you.

All kinds of deliciousness! Wow!
Talk about a striking ring!

Thank you. It’s definitely not for a wallflower (which I kinda am, actually...but not when it comes to rings. ).

Fantastic!!!

Thank you.

Second this, family pictures!

I shared the pink family together but I still have to work on that family shot.

 

[meely]

Love the pink family shots, before I was thinking are they are all fairly similar shades? I had seen the other two before but only together in bigger group shots where you cannot pick up on the differences so easily. Now I can see they are all totally different and furthermore there could be room to add to the pink collection
Thread highjack too where did you get your mint garnet from? Was it the gemstone project? Love that ring so much it’s just perfection.

 

[Tekate]

such a beautiful ring!

 

[Sungura]

Not sure how I missed this thread. I hate t me late to the mahenge party

I too admired this stone. I’m so glad you bought it

I’m amazed by your design. The various shapes (petals, rounds, emerald shape) blend so beautifully. Love the mixed metals and the bezel!!
