What a wonderful collection you are developing! Your new addition yellow stone is just delish! Yelow is also my favorite colour :love:

Just beautiful, DS - I absolutely love it! It's so elegant and complete - it's really like a little work of art. That OEC cluster is inspired and a true classic. I hope you enjoy many years of wearing it in health and happiness as a tribute to, and memory of, a beloved aunt.

And now - for the love of all things holy - can we set that AVR?!

:wavey:

That other hand pic was a little dark, so I'll try this one. Forgive the nails, I was too excited about the ring to have to bother with polish today! (Good grief, sorry that pic is so large. Apparently it does that when you only post one!!)

Does the sapphire EC have it's own thread? I'd love to hear more about it!

I’m reminded of a lemon drop in a bowl of sugar!
You finally have your AVC DS! Caysie did a magnificent job on the design! If there Is such a thing as a “happy” looking ring, this would qualify!

Can I just say once again that I really love my PS friends?! You are all so sweet and encouraging with your comments! I went to bed last night wondering if people would even like the ring from the pictures, because it sparkles like crazy and pictures just don't show that AT ALL! The yellow is very subtle. I actually could wear this as an e-ring because it isn't a deep yellow at all. It's an antique buttery very light yellow which I think it perfect in an antique cushion. My aunt died in 2005, so this has been something that I have planned for a really long time. I am glad I waited until I found just the right stone and the perfect person to make the setting!

I will reply to some of the responses in another post, but thank you all so very much for your sweet comments.... @SimoneD, @whitewave, @arkieb1, @Polished, @Queenie60, @HappyNewLife, @foxinsox, @KristyDarling, @angeline, @ Acinom, @lknvrb4, @GeorgieQ, @OooShiny, @valeria101, @MissGotRocks, @missy, @Tourmaline, @tyty333, @McLaren, @RosieR, @mrs-b, @kgizo, @Tekate, @Bonfire, @ac117, @alene, and @PierreBear !!!!

Thanks, PB! I had it sized a little larger than my left hand size so I can wear it on either hand. 99% of the time, I only wear rings on my left ring finger, so alternating it on occasion on my left hand will be where I mostly wear it. I wear a 5.5 but this is around 5.75. I don't plan to wear a band with it, because I don't think it needs one, plus I don't want to scratch the gallery. When I dress up somewhat to go to a wedding or something, I might wear it as a right hand ring.

DS, it's an absolute STUNNING ring! The diamond is beautiful and the setting tops it off perfectly
Such a meaningful piece of art to remember your aunt and to pass to your daughter. Truly special in every way!

Now I want a piece of sunshine ☀️

Good question! They are near colorless, maybe H-I? Caysie thought colorless would be too stark for an antique ring, but we needed fairly white face up to contrast with the very light yellow center. She was right! The stones are about 2.4mm and about 6 points each, so in the .70s ctw for 12.

Thanks, brightice!!! I can't wait until you find the right light yellow antique stone, too! We have the same taste, so it is fun to follow your projects! Mine are the little sisters to yours, but thankfully, Caysie's pieces are beautiful in every size! Now I need a beautiful red or hot pink spinel or sapphire!

I love your new ring - such a buttery, lemony beauty in a unique, but still classic, setting.

(Also, you are a model of patience and restraint, waiting since 2005 to find the right stone. You put my scattergun, impulse-buying self to shame! Damn all those sparkly distractions that get me every time.....)

Correction...the baby OECs are G-H and .77 ctw. @Bonfire

Honestly, I had other projects that I was pursuing all those years, so I always just waited for the right stones to come along. I was happily surprised to find the lavender blue EC sapphire, for example, when I was just casually looking online. I rarely decide on a project and find the right stone soon after. Usually I have projects in mind and do one as the right stone comes along!

Wow, what a gorgeous ring, DS! I love everything about it, and really your whole collection. I have loved watching you put it together piece by gorgeous piece. I could happily own each and every piece. Caysie does such lovely work. I have long admired your sapphire ring. I love the color of the stone and the setting is just perfect for it. I totally understand creating a piece in honor of an aunt. That is the same reason I have a round stone. My beloved aunt wore a simple set of a round diamond in a plain solitaire with a matching band. While the style is not the same as mine, it is truly in remembrance of her. You ring is just lovely and I look forward to seeing more photos of it!
