My antique pear ring is done! Bespoke halo by LAD/CVB

[soxfan]

After I got my OEC, I knew I wanted an antique pear. Ilya put one on ebay while I had a deposit on another one. He let me switch to this one. Specs:

GIA 1.59 carat (8.81-7.06mm)
K color
Medium blue Flor
S1I

Once I saw it, I knew I would be content just holding on to it until I found the perfect setting for it. I searched pear settings all day long. I didn’t find anything I liked. I went back and forth between sending it straight to VC for an anne marie and having Caysie create a one of a kind vintage repro setting. I went back and forth on split shank. I went back and forth on skipping a halo but I HATE tip prongs on pears and marquis.

Then Caysie sent me this inspiration pic:


I LOVED it. She suggested just doing the outer halo and sent me this sketch:


Original CAD’s:


I am not a fan of airlines, so I asked to take the airline out and to add a cuff. Revised CAD:

It is glorious . There is in pear shape something uber feminine. The french cut band looks fabulous too.

Amazing! I love all the fine detail...beautiful work!

I cannot tell you how much I love your ring! It is perfect in every way! It is exactly what I would want if I were lucky enough to find a fabulous antique pear! Caysie is just a master artist/designer of antique style rings.

Oh, and this is a great example of how much I love K colored diamonds in a halo!

Oh glory, it turned out beautifully! Caysie just amazes me more with each piece. I adore the chunky pear and the halo is devine

 

[soxfan]

Thanks everyone! It will be here Tuesday. I'm so excited to see it! The band is coming too. I've had it on hold because I have YET to find a band I love with my rings. Erica is so accommodating and offered to mail it with my new ring so I can try it and see if it works before I sell anything to pay for it. It looks GORGEOUS though and I think I need it.

O M G That is an incredibly gorgeous haloed pear. And I don't like halos or pears but I would sell a kidney for this. Wow. The band that you're getting with it is the perfect "match" without being matchy matchy. I'm hanging out for your handshots
