Oh that is to die for!!!

The new setting is perfection. Its simplicity highlights the magnificent emerald, adds a richness, and brings it into the modern era. Bravo!

Enjoy this amazing jewel!

I would also love to know the measurements of your beautiful emerald! This setting similar to the octagonal one DK did for me for my round diamond. It looks just divine in the emerald shape @springerspaniel !!

 

[missy]

Wow, that is absolutely breathtaking.
Sophisticated, elegant and eye catching.
It's gorgeous!

Wear your emeraldlicious new ring in good health and blingy joy @springerspaniel!

 

[yennyfire]

[MissGotRocks]

Perfect setting for a gorgeous stone!

 

[cushioncutnut]

@Mreader, you are exactly right that your lovely satin gold ring was the inspiration for this reset! Thank you so much. I hemmed and hawed over the prongs vs bezel and split the shank but otherwise I loved your ring so much, I thought it would go well with an emerald. Measurements are 10.2 mm x 5.4mm x 6ishmm as best I could do with my calipers. I always thought it was 3 carats but turns out to be 3.45.

I love the split shank and wow how great that it’s 1/2 ct larger than originally thought!

An Emerald and chunky, lush yellow gold - divine and decadent but not Dallas style decadences. Congratulations!

 

[Gemstonesrock]

The lovely 3+ ct Zambian emerald ring from my second marriage had lain fallow in my jewelry box for many years, and every time I looked at it, I was reminded of shoulder pads, big pouffy hair-dos, and the show "Dallas." The mounting was platinum, with PC channel set side diamonds and 2 emerald cut diamonds that did not sparkle much. I was inspired by @mrs-b's spectacular collection of rings.They are truly works of art. So I took a deep breath and contacted David Klass. He and Amy were dreams to work with, and what I had been envisioning absolutely came to life for me. I now have a wearable, modern, sleek ring that showcases one of the stones I love the most. My pictures do not do the workpersonship on this ring justice . Even Clyde likes it--he tried to nibble at it.

The colour of your emerald is luscious, then the setting is wonderful too

 

[springerspaniel]

Thank you so much, @Ceilimom!!

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Such a richly colored emerald yet so lively! Empires were made and broken over such stones - what a find. And your setting is the perfect vehicle for it, I can't imagine better.

 

[Calliecake]

The ring turned out beautiful. I can’t get over how much the yellow gold makes the emerald just POP. The color of the stone is gorgeous.

 

[PreRaphaelite]

A timeless beauty! Just stunning!

Thank you @Ibrakeforpossums! I was worried the yellow gold would not show off the bluish tones as well as the platinum, but what a beauty she turned out to be!
