My Art Deco Cluster Makeover

[HS4S_2]

I purchased an Art Deco ring with a 2.0 carat O-P VS1 Old European Cut and it had a diamond (vs1-si2) halo ranging in size from 2.9mm-3.2mm. The setting is Rose Gold. It didn't speak to me and I decided to break it up. I replaced the halo with Top Tier Rubies. The prongs had to be laser rebuilt because they were brittle from age. Caysie and her team did an amazing job with this project! It now speaks to me in so many ways and I plan on wearing as a right hand ring.

Old European Cut
8.28 X 7.94 X 4.84
Madagascar Top Tier 3mm Rubies

Here is a quick video and I will attach pictures later.

Wow, that’s quite a transformation! Are you going to use the small diamonds in something else?

 

[Tennesseetexan]

Here is a before and after. Thank you.

Honestly, the original is gorgeous, but I’m so glad for you that you knew what you wanted to change…I just don’t think it could have been any better than this. Those rubies and the detailed work are just perfection.

 

[Diamondbug]

WOW!! I LOVE both diamond and ruby halo!! I would want both!! Showed it to the hubs and he said, yes!! and that I would want one in an emerald and sapphire halo too!! He's not wrong!

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Stop this nonsense and give that ring to me, right this instant!
(I was hoping to shock you into turning it over- then I would run dramatically away while cackling-don't worry, I wouldn't make it to the edge of the yard before collapsing)
It's amazing.
