My new CBI / DK e-ring!

[RayRay]

Hi!

Here's my previous thread commenting on how great Wink is! (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/trade-in-upgrade-success-with-hpd.247646). He sent my new CBI (1.13ct, F, SI2) to DK a couple months ago to set into a new engagement ring.

DK has been great! We went through several CADs and a lot of emails back and forth to get to the final result! He was always very patient and accommodating! I received the ring on Friday and love both the diamond (first time seeing it!) and the engagement ring.

I haven't seen the diamond in many light conditions yet, but I've caught sight of the pastel colors and blue arrows it's throwing off, and I cannot tell it's an SI2. I would say my eyesight is bad, but I attribute it to how well CBI plans the inclusions in their diamonds! I am so glad I decided to go for the SI2 so I could go up to the F color!

I love the e-ring David made. The engraving is fantastic, milgrain is perfect, and I love the gallery/basket. I couldn't be happier with it and can't wait to do another project with DK.

Now for some pictures! First up are a couple of the glamour shots from David (which don't really do it justice)

Now for a couple shots I took outside this morning with my new preloved art deco band from @lowprofile!

And now for a couple more shots with my VC engraved band!!

And while I'm at it, one more of a family ring I now have - from my mom's aunt! At some point I'll have DK rehab it!

For reference, My ring size is 5.5.

I agree with @FlashyFlamingo, that engraving is phenomenal!!! And as I said on the other thread, that side view is EVERYTHING! I love it. Congratulations on a job well done.

 

[RayRay]

Thank you everyone!! DK and I went back and forth on the gallery / head and I think what we ended up with is perfect and just the right height too!

 

[arkieb1]

Beautiful in every way congrats!!!

Beautiful! The details are so fine - the prongs, engraving, and milgrain. Eye clean SI2 is a great way to go; that's the combo that allowed me to get D colored earrings. Enjoy!

Absolute perfection! Your pictures show just how beautiful a SI2 diamond can be, and that setting is dreamy, and romantic.

Thank you all for the very kind comments! I wish I knew how to do side by side pics of my old and new ring, but here’s the old one for comparison. I think you can see the size increase (old was 0.5mm smaller, .91ct) and the old setting was garbage (thanks diamonds direct). Such a difference!
