Holllllllyyyyyy moly!!!!!!!

Wow, thank you all for the lovely comments, they make for some very pleasant reading!

Hmr_mama, LOL, I'm with you -- I don't think I've ever stalked a website more than DBL... Hopefully now I can resist (a bit hehe!).

Haven, you're right, FLY is 'fine light yellow', the first band in the 'fine' series after Z color in the normal GIA color scale. It's the only FLY I"ll ever love, I know that An aside: I've seen your beauteous new rock (and self!) and have to drool. That baby is a class-act in all dimensions!

Junebug, glamor is what I was going for with this -- to kind of balance the lower-key part of the collection. Still waiting for things to settle down before I give in to the temptation to have everything reset in micro-pave halos, !!

DS, I had to swing for one all-bling ring because I'm about to enter the un-chartable waters of jewellery-moratorium Hehe, the sudden price-hike kind of swept us into this. Terrible things, projected price-increases

Yssie, I am much gratified to see you appreciate the workmanship! (And I didn't think it was possible for anyone to like the ever-so opposing styles of this collection!!) Drooling Aside: I've seen your refined e-ring and they have done a gorgeous job! The undercarriage is so well defined, swoop heaven

Catmom, your Kobelli masterpiece is still my holy-grail FLY ring and the inspiration for this![/b]

Aw, that's incredibly kind to say! I'm glad my ring could be an inspiration.

WHy hello Sunny! That is one beautiful ring!

 

[D&T]

I love that yellow! The ring looks PERFECT on your finger its gorgeous!

 

[CoutureFemme]

I am a proud ownder of a DBL ring as well and have always thought the same about the photography. I love how detailed David's pics are, but in real life, the settings are dainty and beautiful.

That said, your FLY is SUPAFLY! I could stare at it alllll day long. Congrats on such a beauty!

That is a gorgeous ring wear it in good health.

 

[Aoife]

That is gorgeous! The stone is amazing, and the setting looks wonderful, too.

Thank you for the kindly comments ladies, Couture you cracked me up with 'supafly' LOL! I was going with a more prosaic 'yellow stone of Texas,' so this is good stuff!

AutumnNovember your wish is my command! There's one in particular I wanted to include, a pic of the yellow gold under-basket that helps to seal in the yellowness (I know, how technical sounding!). There's one of my RBC for comparison too:

Absolutely beautiful! But so was the other one.

 

[CoutureFemme]

Haha, I just HAD to say it. It was bursting out of me! I love, love, love all of your rings. I keep coming back to this thread to stare and drool!

 

[kenny]

Very beautiful! Congratulations.

 

[brina_ca]

The ring is absolutely amazing. Your hand is one of the most beautiful hands I have seen.

Soo sooo pretty! Will you wear your FLY as a RHR? I really love the split shank on the your halo, it looks delicate but strong since there's two shanks. Love the pictures

 

[sunseeker101]

Thanks you so much, folks! Sandy, this is destined to be an RHR, to be in (fairly rapid) rotation with smaller stones. In the initial excitement phase I'm tempted to swap things up but I know that when the dust settles I prefer a more sedate left-hand look. You're right about the shank, each split is about 1.2mm. It's a nice way to get super-delicate and safe!
