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.

[bling_dream19]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

 

[junebug17]

Oh this is absolutely gorgeous!! I am really loving this design and style, and the yg and emerald green are a stunning combination. Elegant and just perfect!

Beautiful!

 

[Ally T]

Stunning. Just stunning. It needs zero fuss & glows in that setting.

 

[springerspaniel]

Thank you for the wonderful compliments, @Diamond Girl 21 and @junebug17 ! I have never thought of myself as elegant in any way, so this is cool.

@AprilBaby -- The blue-green gets me every time! I was so worried that unmounting and remounting this stone would lead to a change in color due to oil/other treatment maybe coming out (I have no idea if the stone was treated). And DK's IG pictures, as lovely as they were, looked more washed-out to me (most likely due to my computer screen.)

@Slick1 and @bling_dream19 and @HS4S_2 thank you!

 

[lala646]

I don't think David's video did your ring justice at all! It's stunning! So LUSH in the YG. Just wow.

 

[springerspaniel]

I appreciate the validation, @lala646! I really wanted the bluish color to show, so was worried about changing from platinum to yg.

@Ally T, thank you so much!

 

[jeaniefish]

The combination of emerald green and yellow gold is absolutely perfect and stunning!

 

[LemonMoonLex]

Mmmm, what a scrumdidlyumptious green gem set in the loveliest classic & yet simple setting

I hope you get tons of wear out of her!

 

[pinkjewel]

very pretty. I love emeralds in rich yellow gold. Is that the antique gold?

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

WOT a stunner!!!! LOVE the setting. Inspiration for when I reset my emerald!!!!

Wear it in health! (I wish I could have seen the old setting..)

cheers--Sharon

 

[RMOO]

The satin gold with that deep green is so regal!

 

[tkyasx78]

It is stunning. Enjoy that amazing ring!

 

[springerspaniel]

Hi @canuk-gal --HA! I thought someone might want to see the old mounting, thank you for asking! I now feel comfortable and safe wearing it, since the emerald is much more protected.

@pinkjewel thank you! It's gold from DK's bench, but I don't know what you mean by antique gold. It's brushed/satin, but not darkened.

Thank you @tkyasx78 and @RMOO!

Hi @LemonMoonLex, me too! Thanks.

@jeaniefish I agree--I am very happy I listened to my husband when I was going back and forth about this.

Lovely setting! (but I love your new one more....) What did you do with it?

 

[springerspaniel]

I sold it for the price of the new mounting.

 

[lulu_ma]

I love it! The gold really enhances the color of the emerald! Is that 18k gold?

 

[springerspaniel]

Hi @lulu_ma, yes, ma'am it is 18 kt

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

While i do love the old setting (i loved the 80s and Dallas and shoulder pads)
It was no good if it sat in your jewlery box unworn and with sad memories
It needed a reinvention and it is spectacular

Its a 6 ! (That's the top score in cricket - when the batter hits the ball right over the boundary into the crowd)

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

That's a beauty love it in the buttery satin mounting.

 

[MamaBee]

Wow! I agree with the person that described it as regal looking! I love the elegant design…Beautiful!

 

[springerspaniel]

Thank you @ItsMainelyYou and @MamaBee. David and Amy did a great job! I would never have come up with the satin finish (or design for that matter) on my own, but saw something he did on IG that was similar.

 

[mrs-b]

SO gorgeous! And SOOOOOO jealous! Congratulations - it's a beauty!

 

[springerspaniel]

Thank you so much @mrs-b!

 

[cardinalsfan]

The colors are spectacular together! So beautiful!

 

[springerspaniel]
