Warning: Kind of sappy story

My mom's wedding set was originally made by her uncle, who was a jeweler. Maybe 40 years ago her knuckles got bigger and she had to have them cut off. Later my parents divorced, but because of the family connection mom couldn't give up the rings. They've been sitting in their original ring box since then. She always said she wanted to do something with them and never did-never spends money on herself. She loves my rings by David Klass, so I convinced her to take the plunge and see what was possible with her original stones.

She wanted some features of her original set, but wanted one single ring. After some back and forth discussions with DK, I present to you Mom's Ring. An amazing 87 year old is very happy today.

Mom's original wedding set, David Klass's glamour shots, and some images of her new ring on her finger.

(platinum, size 7, 0.6 ct center)
