So I've had this ring for almost a year, and was lazy about making a thread for it... :shifty: DK was super easy to work with (as always), and he got it right on the first CAD! Special thanks to @Niel and @artdecolover71 for putting up with my crazy and helping me thru the whole process!!

I bought the stone preloved (thanks, Niel!!) for a RHR project. It is a 7.5 x 7.0 mm gray spinel with purple undertones with a super cool cut!

**DISCLAIMER** please ignore horrendous manicure -- thanks! :halo:

Once I decided on three stone, I started looking at setting styles. I knew I wanted bezel with delicate milgrain detail. Once I saw the VC double wire ring, I was in love!

Here are some of my [very bad] photo shop efforts... :lol-2:

I sent the VC and DK IG photos, and David was super quick to send back these CADs -- they were EXACTLY what I wanted! He sourced the 3.5 side stones for me as well -- I loved the proportions!

Three stone is in 14K white gold, size 4.75
Spinel is 7.5 x 7.0 mm
Side diamonds are 3.5 mm
 
I love three stones with a bezelled coloured stone - gorgeous! I also love the lilac/grey colour of the spinel. Congrats!
 
I liked the double wire style so much, I recently had DK make a wedding band in platinum to wear with my CVB Jovyn -- love it! This was the first CAD... the ring was a little wider than I'd hoped, so DK graciously remade a thinner version at 1.8 mm.

And with my Jovyn! I love how it's not a matching knife edge, but has a little texture... ;)
Band is in platinum and is 1.8 mm. I think it compliments my ering nicely.

Thanks, lissyflo! I'd been wanting a gray spinel, and Niel's was soooo dreamyyy!!!
 
This is SO gorgeous! Congratulations!
 
You know I frigging love this ring and miss that stone every time I see if lol. I also love how very clean and classic your band looks with your rock.

I love this stone too! And, yes, I'm super happy with my new band -- it's perfect! Thank you!! :wavey:
 
I think this is my favourite colour in the world. A really sweet lilac cornflower blue. The ring is stunning, the band is stunning - I love everything!!

Thanks so much, Alex T!!
 
I love your new RHR. And the new wedding band with your Jovyn... :love::love::love:
 
Two beautiful rings! I love the three stone and the band looks great with your new ering! The band reminds me a bit of the Tiffany two toned band and it does give the band great depth!
 
Wow another beautiful RHR msop04. I have to say I love your taste in jewelry. ALL your rings are gorgeous. How is that sweet baby of your doing?
 
The color of that gray spinel is really cool! I also love the side stones paired. It's a great ring! And of course your ering set is just stunning! All I see is big rock. :love:
 
Ohh gorgeous!! Love the color of the spinel and proportions of that ring!!
 
Gorgeous ring!!! I love the color of the spinel as well. That pic with the spinel ring and your e-ring is incredible!!!
 
It's gorgeous!! I love it!
 
I thought that spinel was an emerald cut diamond in the first 2 pictures...I was like "Wait, where's the spinel?":mrgreen:

The setting turned out lovely! Good finger coverage and I think the bezel helps to bring out the color nicely. Also
love your new wedding band. The double wire style adds interest to the usual gold band...goes perfect with your ering! Nice choice!
