Beaudry couture ring

[Art Nouveau]

Hi All,

I stumbled onto this site about a month ago and have learned a lot from the knowledgeable posters here. I was looking for a 4 to 5 ct radiant and had no intention of buying a designer ring. However, I went to a Michael Beaudry trunk show at a local jeweler and was totally impressed by a 4.01 radiant from his couture collection. The center stone is surrounded by a frame of small round brilliants with a step cut trapezoid (1.26 ct w) on each side. This ring is so gorgeous that logic went out the window and I bought it. The workmanship is super, especially the engraving and none of the copies that I have seen elsewhere comes close.

Shape Cut cornered rectangular modified brilliant
Weight 4.01
Measurements: 9.92 x 8.16 x5.69 mm
Depth 69.7%
table 65%
Girdle Medium
Culet Small
Fluorescence None
Clarity VS1
Color G

The cut of the center stone may not be as perfect as I would have wanted, but it''s good enough. This is my first post and I hope the images will post properly. Would welcome any comments.

gorgeous!!! Logic went out the door, the window and left the neighborhood I''m sure.

Absolutely devine! I''m sure she will love it...after she regains conciousness.

As for posting 2 pics in one posting, it can only be done when posting other pics from the web, but not from your harddrive. If you are posting from pics saved on your computer unfortunately, you can only upload one at a time. But if its from another site on the web, you can upload more. hope that helps.

Congratulations and best of luck.

Oh my gosh, I tried that ring on at his trunk show several weeks ago! I love his work. We are currently trying to find a 3-4ct. cushion or radiant for my upgrade. You are right, logic does goes right out the window with his work. Did you meet him? Did you see his wife''s ring? Like yours, but pink diamonds around the center stone. The details in his settings will captivate you. I almost let logic out the window that day too! Enjoy a very special ring.

 

[Bikergirl]

WOW!

That is absolutely stunning! I''ll have to disagree with you on the logic - I can''t think of anything more logical than buying something so beautiful!!!

 

[reena]

speechless. utterly speechless. it''s huge and gorgeous. congratulations! i don''t think you said--is this for an engagement?

 

[icekid]

wow, can''t wait to see some hand pics! that ring is completely amazing!! lucky lucky

 

[fuffi]

Yowzah!! What a gorgeous ring. Great proportions. Would you happen to know how wide the shank is?

 

[Patty]

Oh wow, no wonder you fell in love with it at first sight!!

 

[twinkletoes]

[twinkletoes]

LOL of course i''m kidding... that''s one beautiful ring! *sigh*

"Logic went out of the window"... good for you ! Diamonds are that much more enjoyable without the math

Unless you are a mathematician, of course.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Michael Beaudry and his wife, but I met his rep Steven who was very nice and knowledgeable. The ring with a cushion center stone framed with pink diamonds is even more magnificent than my ring, and the best in the collection in my opinion. However, it''s not within my budget to even consider that one. Those little pink diamonds enhance the center stone, but do add to the price. My ring is a birthday present from my husband and I am very happy with it. It''s a work of art! There is a slightly smaller version with a 3+ ct radiant center stone at The Diamond Broker in Los Altos, CA.
