Maytal Hannah reset my Oval

[ForteKitty]

This was actually done back in May, but i''ve been out of town a lot and hadn''t had the chance to post until now.

She is absolutely wonderful to work with. I had a few details in mind (curvy V-shaped head, double prongs, split shank), and let her do the rest.

Oval: 1.15ct, H, SI1. Here are the before pics: and HERE

It looks a million times better in its new home, even though my new pics suck. I was up at Napa that day and hands were terribly dry, and the diamond was filthy. Will post new pics soon!

I wouldn''t say it looks a million times better, just different! (the other setting was pretty, just simpler) Having said that, it turned out beautifully! Please do get more shots for us.

And congrats!

It came out fantastic. Please post more photos. Gorgeous reset!!

 

[rainydaze]

LOVE it! that is the first oval i have seen set in a split shank and i think that is the perfect shape and cut for it! just beautiful!

 

[ForteKitty]

Thanks everyone, i really appreciate your compliments!!

Maytal is wonderful to work with, and i''ve been recommending her to all my friends. You should see the work she did on my friend''s radiant! I think we will be taking pictures of our rings on one of these football sundays, so I can get some photos then. Her ring is just exquisite.

We are currently planning a reset for my pear, so hopefully I''ll have more stuff to post in about 2-3 months. That cutie is currently in an ugly setting, so i hope to place it in a halo pendant soon!

 

[laurel25]

That is definitely my favorite oval ring! Your diamond looks wonderful in that setting!

 

[Octavia]

Oooh, wonderful! I''ve gotten slightly obsessed with Maytal''s work lately, so I love it when new examples pop up here. This is certainly a beauty

 

[joflier]

Oh wow! I just love me a good oval! Looks super!

I''ve also admired your marquise setting many times in the smtr thread. (its in my favs folder)

 

[kimikocat]

Gorgeous! Maytal Hannah does such lovely work, and the proportions are so graceful.

Definitely makes me love ovals more. (I''ve been going oval? cushion? oval? cushion? for the last 3 months!)

 

[icekid]

forte- faaaaabulous ring! Maytal did a great job- it''s so elegant and dainty. And that is one rockin'' oval. I still cannot believe the deal you got on that stone.

 

[MoonWater]

That''s so pretty. I didn''t think I would like an oval diamond but that setting is amazing.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Wow, that is gorgeous!! Congratulations on such a beautiful reset!
