Hey Starry! Sisley came in.

[pricescope]

I like it less than the previous incarnation DVatche send me a picture of, but think this one is nice too. Smooth...

 

[pricescope]

Working picture, need to make some clean up but wanted to post because i had quite a few e-mails from consumers asking about it, so here you go.

 

[zoebartlett]

Ooohhh, it''s so pretty!

 

[dianne]

That setting is so pretty and shiny smooth that it looks liquid! Wow! Beautiful!

 

[starryeyed]

WOW Irina! Love it!!

Everyone''s comments are spot-on - it''s incredibly fluid. MM has nothing on you, that''s for sure.

You are so talented! So you have Sisley, Swan, Gama....is that right? What else?

 

[diamondseeker2006]

How very lovely!!!

 

[FireGoddess]

That is one gorgeous and graceful setting.

 

[anchor31]

Yummy!

 

[Harriet]

Irina,
Is this your new ring?

 

[Dogmom]

WOW!!!

 

[Mokey]

That is incredible! Congrats again Irina!

 

[kcoursolle]

It''s beautiful, you are a great designer Irina!

 

[crown1]

hi! i am a bit confused. is this a different version of the ring you had the thread for a name or a new one?

if it is the same one and a different version i agree with you it is pretty but the first version i liked better.

both are lovely.

 

[pricescope]

Thank you girls

Crown, you are right - they are both based on Gama shaped prongs i designed back in September last year. The difference is that Sisley is 4-prongs and Swan 6-prongs, which also interchange differently and have different amount of surprise diamonds.

 

[doobao]

WOW~ I''m drolling~~~

Are Swan & Sisley available to the public?

 

[starryeyed]

Irina, you''ll have to develop wedding bands to compliment these rings!

 

[Ellen]

Interesting. I am normally a 4 prong girl, but not with this ring. I much prefer the 6.

 

[Love in Bloom]

Lovely lines! If I had to decide between the two, I would be just stuck, stuck, stuck! They are both so pretty

. Is there a matching band in the works too?

 

[pricescope]

doobao, i suppose Swan is available by now, about Sisley i am not sure please ask Wink if someones knows that's him.

Starry, no band yet but i'll think about it.

Harriett, actually i am going to ask to buy this first incarnation (which is not available to public) for myself, the difference is in the shank part attachment to the prong.

 

[sparkles]

Its absolutely stunning.....you are very talented and have a fabulous eye !

 

[NYCsparkle]

I LOVE the swan.

its fluid, classy and gorgeous!!!

Irina, When I was looking at the rings above I was thinking, this is almost perfect but I don''t like how the shank hits and the prongs just kinda drown in them.... and in my head I was thinking of this, what you designed originally and I don''t know why he doesn''t want this one, but IMO this one is finished and the other one isn''t. I think *this* incarnation is superior and very pretty.

I admit, Irina, I like yours better. It flows. The DVatche one looks like its missing something.

::whew:: i''m not alone

 

[Miscka]

Ohhh I love this! I am also still drooling over the swan though! It is my favorite setting I have seen here on PS.

Only problem is wbands. I would love a plain one with either setting, but would it just constantly rub/block the surprise diamonds? What kind of thing would you maybe design to go with them?

 

[pricescope]

Thanks again for the commentaries girls, about bands - Swan's surprise diamond would not touch a band for sure. Sisley - i need to ask either Vatche or Wink when he has a rings in his hands but i presume there would not be a rubbing problem too. That's the beauty of Vatche's work, he is a perfectionist that's why those two took so long.

SDL, Chehra was talking about differences in same 4-prongs model - the one Vatche made for production and the last picture i posted i want to buy for myself.

 

[Gypsy]

I like the one you are buying for yourself the best of all of them... but think they are all really stunning. So much talent! Congrats Irina.. it must be lovely to see your visions come to life.

 

[mrssalvo]

I love both rings so much, I don''t know how someone would ever choose...

The Swan is available now, although most of the vendors don''t know it yet, so you will have to ask them to get it for you. The Sisley will be available in a week, it is being prepared to be introduced, with the Swan, at the Vegas jewelry show. I have an 18kt and platinum version coming that I will share with everyone on Wink TV as soon as it comes in.

What Irina alluded to was that Vatche made more than ten iterations of this ring until he was satisfied with it. Minor changes which led to more minor changes until he was happy with the ring. It is always both amazing and frustrating to deal with this. Amazing to see the quality of the finished work, and frustrating that it takes weeks and weeks of constant "Daddy, are we there yet?" before it is ready.

Both of Irina''s designs are incredible, and the finished rings from Vatche are a delight to see.

Wink

Irina, I love the last one you posted especially - the one you want to buy for yourself.

The way the prongs continue and flow around the shank in that loop formation mimicks the flow of the front loop with the surprise diamond. I'm with you - I like this look the best too!

ACK! After all of your design work, I can't believe you have to "buy" the setting!

None of my business though....

 

[FireGoddess]

Wow, side by side it is easy to see the difference between the Sisley and the Swan...and I agree, the Swan would be my first pick!
