I purchased this marquise eternity ring knowing it was probably going to be a remake. As I suspected, it was uncomfortable and bulky.
David Klass is my trusted resource and knew it would be executed perfectly. I provided an inspiration image and added milgraining to enhance the undulating lines of the design. He was able to remake the ring with one less marquise stone because the bezel design sits lower on the finger. The original setting was rhodium plated 14kt white gold and the reset is platinum. It’s being shipped to me tomorrow but I couldn’t wait to share!

Wow! That's quite a difference - clunky to sleek. The 'crossover' milgraining is a stylish touch.

This is a perfect example of an excellent designer & bench working in harmony, because the ring is the same but COMPLETELY different, and it is stunning!

Can’t wait for hand shots when it arrives!

Wow!! That's so beautiful! I have a soft spot in my heart for marquises.. I looked up the plural and that's what it said.. doesn't look correct though.
Anyways.. I actually love it both ways.. old and new.
Can't wait to see your hand shots.

I just received the ring and have to share! I am beyond happy with the design and workmanship from the David Klass bench.
IMG_2530.jpeg I am very fond of the marquise shape and the subtle flashes the cut reflects. I did an understated brushed finish on the sides of the ring so the stones and milgrain detailing would be highlighted. IMG_2527.jpeg IMG_2528.jpeg

Thank you! Isn’t it amazing it’s the same design layout but now completely different.

Thanks! I bought the ring because I loved the layout of the marquise shape. Unfortunately the original setting was uncomfortable because the stones sat high and rubbed against my other fingers. I couldn’t wear it for long periods so that pushed me to reset it.

I love this! I've never seen a marquise cut eternity band before and your remake is truly beautiful. I love the cross-over milgrain pattern, it adds depth to the design and feminine charm.
