It even looks pretty good worn backwards

The light was failing, and the sun was low in the sky by the time we got to the neck shots. Here are the best two:

Congratulations, @prs, on this magnificent design!

And that's one glorious center stone!

Wow! What a true master craftsman DK is! I am blown away! Just a stunning piece of art! I bet when people see it on you, they are just mesmerized by it!

 

[Stone Hunter]

AMAZING setting, perfect for the stone. The conversion is just wonderful! Congrats on creating two stunning items in one setting.

I keep coming back to sneak a peak!

This Ring is so awesome. I'm so glad its a tourmaline. I didnt know they could be so glorious! Its so BIG and beautiful!

Ok I just picked myself off the floor. The gem, the color, the design, and the craftsmanship are tops. But I what really knocked me out was the hand shot. It looks even better than the glamour pics and it’s enormous!

I am stunned. Almost too much awesomeness

This an iconic pricescope piece.

Congratulations

Has it only been just over a year since this piece of artistry and gorgeousness was made?

Just dropping a note to say it looks even more stunning, than ever

 

[Efleon]

Thank you so much everyone for all your kind words!

Sorry for the delay in posting photos, DW has been super busy the last couple of days, but better late than never:

Swoon...thunk.
It’s going to take me quite awhile to pick myself off the floor.
It’s sooooo gorgeous on you.
And the versatility of the piece just takes it over the top.
Please don’t get me started on that vivid pink hunk...
Stellar.

Doesn't time fly when you are having fun! Although one has to try a lot harder to have fun these days.

Thank you for resurrecting this thread, but it was your gorgeous lavender jade ringdant that brought back the memories.

Thank you so much! My wife does appreciate the versatility, I think she tends to wear it more often as a pendant than as a ring.

The lady and the pendant both look fab

We all need more beauty, appreciation and colour in our lives now. More so than ever!

 

[GoldenTouch]

Beyond fabulous!!

Some time ago DW acquired a hot pink pear:


We already had pieces with conventional diamond halos and this time DW said she wanted something different and unusual, but worthy of the stone. Different and unusual is definitely beyond my scope, so I started a thread asking for suggestions. The wonderful PSers on the Colored Gemstones forum responded with all sorts of fantastic ideas, and DW was having trouble deciding what to choose until @icy_jade suggested:



When she saw this DW just said Wow Wow Wow, that's it!!! Then @suzann2 posted "Can you imagine this as a ring AND a pendant??? It would be glorious." Twice as much bling for the one stone; how could that not be a good idea??? We previously worked with Amy Phillips at DKJ and had great success, so we went to visit with stone and inspiration in hand. Yes DKJ had made ring/pendant convertibles before, and yes Amy would be delighted to work on our project. Our ringdant was off and running!

In the process of the design we found the intertwining halos, and the shape of our stone presented some unique aesthetic and engineering challenges. However Amy and her extraordinarily talented team of CAD designers and jewelers sailed thru every challenge with flying colors! Without further ado, here's a video of the finished ringdant:

That is ingenious and amazing all at the same time! I've never seen anything like it! WOW!
